"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Hey guys, need a quick opinion on something..(lol)

Apart, from the infamous "opinion opener," what other good opener types do you guys recommend me using? I could only think of the folowing atm:

The neg opener (e.g. you gotta piece of lint on your shoulder)

The compliment opener (e.g. I came over to talk to you because I noticed you had a wonderful energy)

The "hi" opener (Hi, my name is X)

Theres gotta be more ways to open a set...a little help here pls.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

IMHO "Hi, my name is X" sucks.

Check out bristollair.com, they have a bunch up, if you're into PUA stuff.

Out of the box
"Hi my name is X" is a vibe opener

Read their vibe, and walk in obeying the situation.

Everybody's dancing, walk up dancing
Everybody's laughing, walk in laughing
Everybody's quiet, walk in quiet

Just have confidence when you open, don't be desperate for them to accept you into your frame. Be confident and approach their frame... AS THOUGH YOU'VE KNOWN THEM FOR YEARS.

Here are some i like to use...

Situation: you are with a group of friends talking, and you and a random girl make eye contact in a bar, wait until it happens again and then wave her over, put your arm around her or something and introduce her to your friends as your girlfried. Adn then make up some bull**** story about how you think she is cheating on you and that you're going to break up with her tonight.
- most girls will play along and say, "ya, i was meaning to tell you about that"
- some girls may not even come over, if you're ballsy go over an introduce you to her friends as your boyfriend
(no my material, can't reme,ber who to give credit to)

OR
"who do you think lies mre girls or guys? opener I would usually start off with "hey my friends and i were ahving a discussion over here" blah blah
(con't remember again who to give credit to)
