This is half to toot my own horn, half to share with the community, and half to give ElStud an idea of what spontaneous openers should be like. Never mind that's three-halves.

Was at a party of Friday:

*This chick has two cups, obviously alcohol in them*
Me: Either you have a friend in the rest room, or you're an alcoholic

*Chick is doing some stripper stuff on a pole*
Me: I wish that was me

*Chick has huge hoop earrings*
Me: Nice earrings. I want to jump through them.

*Chick is sitting down*
Me: *Grab her and pull her to the dance floor. Plenty of grinding ensues*

Good night overall. I had to leave to meet my friends at a club, and this party was dying down anyway, but I was opening sets all over the place.

I've never used a routine. I always plan to, but something random comes out of my mouth instead. I've decided to just stop trying routines and go with whatever, but it's tough when you have no canned material, because after your openers, there's little left to chat about. I've tried to start asking questions, but it often boils down to interview style stuff. Or worse, the chick talks and I ignore her (or just nod, even though I'm not listening). The result is, I can't lead into something else.

Also, can someone give me a good example of a DHV story? I have one (true story) about going to another school, getting smashed, streaking, mooning a place, almost getting taken out by a dude with a shovel, and getting checked by a football player (all at the same party). I figured it made me seem adventurous, but it hasn't gotten me laid.

Good openers, not too sure about the hoop one though.

As for routines, if you got 'em and they work for you then use them, otherwise just go with the flow and try and keep it upbeat and entertaining. I've never used a routine, simply because I can remember jack **** when making an approach and am always making sure I listen to what she's saying and keeping the conversation flowing smoothly.

As for the DHV story they can be as simple as busting your mate out of a tight situation. One of mine is when a mate of mine couldn't get into his house because he forgot his key's and his parents were away for a few days so I snuck him into my house and he managed to live there for 2 days without my mum noticing (she hates it when I have friends for the night, let alone 2). But when I tell the story as a DHV I give it a bit more flavour and add in some funny anecdotes about sneaking him around the house at night.

LOL!

I remember using this one just recently.

I was pouring myself 7Up at my friend's party, and then a girl comes up to me and said "Hey pour me some yeah?" Then I said to her back "pft, do you think I'm your slave?" She was blushing, I smiled and hit the conversation off from there.
