This is based off a conversation from earlier that left me with some additional questions.
Note: this is more of a beginner-intermediate to intermediate question, since pure beginners will benefit from doing direct day game just to get rid of approach anxiety and to start getting numbers and dates.
One thing I think can be agreed on is that by making an approach direct, you’ve shifted the frame to be of you chasing, which is bad. As a result we have to make up for this. From what I understand, we do this through making the girl invest-compliance, deep diving; and by making her aroused-sex talk, sexual frames; and other reframing tactics: chase frames, etc.
I understand this, and try to never open direct when I got out at night. The only exception being where I notice a girl and can’t think of something to say, in which case I’d rather make a bad approach than no approach.
However, my confusion comes up in street game. In this situation, you have a girl who is fully in her own world going about her business, then you arrive. Going indirect, with a situational opener doesn’t seem to match the environment, and leaves the girl wondering, “why is this guy talking to me?” Direct in this case makes it very clear why you’ve approached, but at the cost of your initial frame. I’m not really sure how to solve this issue. The best remedies I’ve heard are Tony D’s observations vs insights, which makes your compliment more unique and memorable-and also less about her looks and more about something she’s done. In this case complimenting a choice she made-maybe this makes your frame slightly stronger. The other remedy is to do what I mentioned earlier with compliance, sex frames, and reframing. Again feel free to correct any of the above assumptions if some of it seems off-it’s my understanding of things at the moment, and I could be conflating many different things wrongly.
An example:
You’re walking on the street and see a girl. You pass her, and then run back around and stop her
Second Example:
You see a girl coming up to you, and before she passes, you hold up both your hands and policeman stop
Third example:
You see a girl pass by and before she passes, you policeman stop.

This is the point I’d love to hear thoughts on-what can you say indirect when doing a street stop?
One answer I’ve found is here: https://www.girlschase.com/content/how-calibrate-your-openers-her-situation. In the girls in motion section. This does seem dependent on you being sexy and able to make her curious, which is a skill you get as you become more advanced. I’ll have to try it and experiment for myself, but it seems promising. Maybe direct game is just something you start to use less of as you become more advanced.
My confusion is that even the best direct game is still a compliment and hurts your frame-and I’m not really sure the best way to solve this. Would love to hear people’s thoughts on the matter.

An example:
You’re walking on the street and see a girl. You pass her, and then run back around and stop her
This is not the best-you’ve run back around, and given a direct compliment that could seem very cookie cutter.You: Hey, I just saw you walking, and I thought you were extremely cute-my name’s Dave.
Second Example:
You see a girl coming up to you, and before she passes, you hold up both your hands and policeman stop
This one is better, you stopped her in a very bold way, and your compliment seems sincere, and different.You: Hey, I just noticed you walking towards me, and you walk like you’re going to be president some day. Your confidence is infectious. My name’s Nikhil.
Third example:
You see a girl pass by and before she passes, you policeman stop.
This is where my experience is missing, so this analysis is pure conjecture and second hand thoughts. But it seems very... wrong... to do this, because the frame of stopping a girl on a street to say this seems off. I can’t say much more because I haven’t tried it, though it’s near the top of my list to try once I can day game again.You: Hey, I noticed you walking past and saw that you were wearing all red. You must not be from here.
