Good Conversation Starter: "Is that your real name"

[Bigdavis]

I haven't logged in for a long time but I thought I'd stop by to tell you guys about this little gem I've been using lately with good success, and see if any of you have ever used it...

This works best when you are talking to a girl at a checkout counter that has a nametag. You look down at her nametag and say "Jennifer huh?" She'll usually look at it also and say "yeah" then you say "Is that your real name?"

Instant conversation starter, you will usually get a giggle and a reply and judging by the vibe she's giving you, you can then take the conversation wherever you want...

Maybe you experts already know about this... Maybe it's old and played out and maybe I'm about to get flamed but it sure has been working for me

What's your real name? Hmm..interesting. I can't see how this would work, but I may give it a shot.

I personally like "are those real?" while looking intently at her breasts.

I don't know why it works but I guess it's just so unexpected and different from what all the other 1000 guys she sees every day. Who knows...

PUA: Jennifer huh?
HB: Yeh
PUA: Is that your real name?
HB: Yeh

Then what?

Bare in mind that there are most probably people behind you in the queue.

I can see this working in department stores where you may be at a desk, paying with not many people around and you can slowly escalate.

Well because it's such an unexpected question she will usually giggle and won't just say "yeh"... if she's cool she'll say something like "no I made it up" and you can say "well you have to do what you have to do to keep all those walmart shoppers from hitting on you"

Or she might say "yeah why?" and you can say "well I just thought maybe you made up a fake name to keep all these walmart shoppers from hitting on you"

If she just says "yeh" and you're not getting a vibe that she's into you then move on...

BTW I've only done this when there wasn't anyone in line behind me...

If she's really cool she'll also add, "Here's your sign." :crackup:


I wouldn't do the whole "to keep people from hitting on you" thing, however.
…Kind of cliché in my book but whatever works for ya.

EDIT:
Basically this is one of those openers that you use to gauge a girl.
I would try this on cute cashiers especially if I have made eye contact with her while shopping.
I would also probably crack a joke about her name or something fun and lighthearted, but that’s just me.

You're right. That's what I use it for. Just to get something going and to guage interest. If you're naturally charming and funny but have trouble getting something started this is just one idea...

The "hitting on" thing was just one example. You could also make a joke about stalkers or witness relocation... or just give her a neg hit about her name

Neg hits are absolutely the best thing ever invented. The hotter she is the more you gotta bust on her!
