what is your favorite opening line when meeting girls and do they work. :trouble:
"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.

"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 popcorn!"
....Field tested by me in all situations.. works like a charm.
anymore though im trying everything, from simply introducing myself to running up on a girl and demanding "WHO ARE YOU?"
"ok... lets goto vegas!" is not a good opener lol. Field tested, bombage.
...I did open the other night at a club when I was free balling it. I was walking past a girl that was dancing in the lounge... "Hey i'm not wearing any boxers", she didnt say a werd, she just reached her hand into my pants and grabbed hold, hahaha... then she was like "Wow thats awesome" funny as hell, I think she was with her boyfriend though so not much more then that. Openings don't have alot of significance to me right now, I'm cold approaching so much its just becoming natural as hell... just go for it.

I'm actually starting to use the "Excuse me I saw you over there and wanted to ask you a question" "Are you single". I know some people might not like it but I think it does the trick or if they are in sets I will open up with a canned line maybe "I need help what's a good desert for Thanks?"

lol... "excuse me I saw you over there and wanted to ask you a question.... are you single?"... awesome! Seriously! I think I will try it... I will try any opener a few times.j0n024 said:
But this opener is wrong for so many reasons that it kinda makes it right... I'm always trying to prove that your opener doesn't really matter.

I prefer openers that are related to the situation. Whatever she is doing, looking at, talking about, etc. I find something interesting to add. This method goes completely under the rader, doesnt send up a bitsh shield, raises little suspicion, and doesnt set you up for rejection.
The beach is still a little tricky for me, because a girl, lying down, sunbathing, enjoying her relaxation is a difficult target to approach. I mean, what?? "Hey can you rub some sunscreen on me? Is any one laying here(motioning right next to her towel on a large beach)
But hey, I just though of a possible one that could work. You come right up behind her and to the side and sit down and say, "Hi Mandy, or whatever name you like, pretending that you thought she was someone else. You can then bypass your mistake and strike up some conversation or observation. I'll try it.

Actually, "Hi" with a nice smile works really well for me. It is simple and and invites the woman to respond.jesusrules said:
And oh yeah, if you are having a bad day... stay home because you are going to come off as angry or desperate.

this is exactly what I do. I observe where her attention is, put my attention there, and make a funny comment about itDongfu said:
on top of getting rid of the playa vibe, it shows you're socially intelligent
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Well, i'm white, if that helps you. All I am saying is that acting like a playa, especially if your white, is just silly. Only stupid girls fall for that act.sebastionay said:
Wasnt trying to offend your trailer park queen either.
JK LOLwell im white middle class myself and use the same tactic as you on a night out as it happens, its wrong to just carectorise a race of people from a certain status background though, youl gets slags wealthy or poor from any race and not more so in some races than others really
