"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.

Do you guys think this is a good opener to approach random girls with?

So say I'm at a track meet, and I wanted to approach her, would simply saying, "Hey how's it going?" work as an opener? If so, what would be some good openers for this situation? I'm not good at creating my own openers right there and then, so canned openers usually work best for me. I'm asking because there's a track meet tommorow and I expect a situation like this to come up.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"I like your smile, it's a good smile"
--let her smile for you--

"Ever heard of C's and U's?"
--Run the C's and U's routine--

"They used to judge the best race horses by their smile"
--look for the "my friend used to laugh like a horse back in grade school, he also used to run around when he gets excited, braying and whinnying like a horse" routine. The neg-hit of the routine, or compliment "Your smile reminds me of him, he was a cool guy, he's probably like in college right now, he was a geius" OR "your smile reminds me of him, he was a funny guy, you and me should chill sometime, you seem cool like that"--

Once you get her interest up, ask if she's going to stay for a bit. Go off and run your track A game, then get back to her, ask for her number, if she knows anywhere that's going to be fun later in the week, ask for her number, and say you'll meet her there.

Okay the best opener for this situation IMO is to go up to her (If you have never seen you before) and be like "Haven't we met somewhere?" It's really easy to say and from there it gets easy. You initiated a conversation, (Don't complement her when u first meet her ) .
