Great openers if you travel...

[Guitar_Whizz]

Hello guys, I'm currently doing some travelling around the UK, and I've had some good success with a few openers I came up with, so I thought I'd share them with you.

OPENER 1, if you're staying in a Youth Hostel or Hotel etc
Just open with 'Hi...where are you from?'. Start with a bit of eye contact and a smile if you wish. This is the standard 'travellers' opener, and can be followed up with any natural, improvised conversation about your travels. Show some interest in the people you're talking to about their travels, let them talk and open up to you, and it's as simple as that.

OPENER 2, for girls in the daytime or girls in clubs etc
I discovered this one by accident while in Skegness a few weeks back. If you're new to a town or city, just walk up to any girl (or group) and say "Hi, can I ask you a quick question....are people in (name of town/city) friendly?". In most cases you'll get a positive response, then just follow up with "the reason I ask is I'm here on holiday for a few days/weeks and I just wondered what the place was like....". From there just improvise some natural game, and you're in!

Hope these were useful, give them a try when you're next visiting somewhere and you'll be pleasantly surprised!

This might be news to you, but in most parts of the world people don't speak fluent English. You will get a strange look and the words, "I be so Sorry. I speak not good English."

Hostel people are dirty and smelly.

Wow, your ignorance shows through, you retard.

Where have all the decent posters gone from this site? A few years back this site was fantastic, now it's full of immature posters like that.

It will be time for me to leave this place and move on to better things....and rightly so.

Guitar whizz, wally has a point but only in certain situations. Don't be so hard on him man. He is only sharing his prespective because of the experiences he must have had in the past.

I sometimes pretend I am from overseas and always go upto random girls to ask them what are some good clubs to go to...

If you are just walking around the city during the day, you can ask about good places to eat, look at art, romantic places. You can even pretend to be lost and ask for directions...
