I used to do those kinds of direct approaches a lot during the summer with similar results. Two things I have to say about it, however...
1.) Very high flake percentage.
Being direct and getting girls to engage in friendly conversation with you is easy enough. Getting direct approaches to turn into dates and lays is another matter entirely. It's unlikely that girl will end up in his bedroom. When on the street it's usually better to go indirect.
Just to give you an idea, these were my results from directness and indirectness between May and June 2012...
Directness:26 approaches, 7 numbers, 0 dates, 0 lays
Indirectness: 12 approaches, 11 numbers, 6 dates, 2 lays
2.) Good way to build confidence and momentum
If you're struggling with approach anxiety, this should help, as after doing enough direct approaches, you won't give a fuck what anyone thinks of you, and hitting on attractive girls becomes almost a reflex.
