"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Have you ever seen a girl trying on clothes at a store, sitting on a park bench, parking her car etc. and wished you could think of a great opener line that wouldn't be creepy, and would allow for a conversation to develop?

Well I always do, I know there's always the simple 'hi'. But I was wondering if people here could post their experiences with these situations and the openers that they have used that have been effective.

Thank you!
 

"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.

- I never wear a clock, so asking for the hour will do, but it's difficult to manage from there.
- Asking the way, a building, a certain place, ...
- Tell her you're new in town and wants to know places and new people...

Are you looking for just openers?

This is good to start with.

I never wear a watch as of late anyway, that time thing sounds gold.

This is just the opener, I'll segue onto other things later.

Here is one I do in taco bell

"Well come to taco bell we have gorditta's, chalupas, crunch wraps"

They bust out laughing and I usually plow from there. I'm now realizing you can say anything and just plow through in order to get into the set.
