Admittedly not at all smooth. It's been a decade since I dated and definitely need to exercise the old flirting muscles I guess. And, maybe she's just not that into me regardless. Who knows.
Direct is also good. The most attractive women I've dated I've met in person, and at least a couple of them were impressed I asked them for a date (after some conversation). Other men failed to act, or found excuses to get their digits--they appreciated the confident approach. But yes, no "oh I see your single again". Especially with that missing apostrophe.
