This may be more of a philosophical game question:

When is it appropriate to directly come out and tell girls you want to fuck them vs implying it through your communication (IE you invite her over for a movie and she accepts)?

Both have worked for me but I'm leaning towards the latter being more better because women tend to communicate in this covert language and only when they are really comfortable with you or they themselves are very outward do they come out and speak in this manner.

Is the answer it depends on the situation? Or is indirect game always better since the implication is there?

One thing that is good with being direct is that the expectations are being set as opposed to when the implication is there that we "might" hook up gives them the leeway to try to skirt out of the situation without fully committing to the lay.

What are your thoughts? I'd be interested in hearing them.
