"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.

Hi,

Hope this thread to have an entire array of openers. Please post the openers that had WORKED for you. In other words the girls actually continued talking to you. No kiddy fictional pick up lines please, only those that REALLY firmly got you successfully into a dialogue.

Mine was "Hi, where did you have your hair done?" (It got them talking)
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I don't open with a sense, I just grab my d*ck and slap against her leg. That way you get all her attention and she already knows how big your equipped.

My 5 default openers at the moment. Sometimes it's best to stack the openers, especially the ones which lead to A2 (story telling, DHV)

Hey wheres good around here?

So how the hell did you end up here tonight??

Serious question....ok....you ready?....ok.... would you....go out with a guy who lived in a tent? (leads to a story)

Hey guys....I need a quick opinion... who lies more, men or women? (leads to a story)

Hey guys, did you see the fight outside?? (leads to a story)
 

"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.

You know....I don't think it's a great idea to be sitting around criticizing other people's pickup lines when you are sharing none yourself.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Sesar not a bad opener but instead of saying I find them Metro and Gay you should say something like, I think pink is nothing to fear for a man if he is truly comfortable with his own masculinity also it shows he is not scared to stand out from the crowd. This answer achieves several things first thing is it shows intelligence as you answer is well thought, it shows that you are unique and you dont just go along with popular opinions and finally it is an open ended response that can lead to a good conversation.

It also shows that you have no originality as that's almost directly taken from Alfie (Jude Law version). That's the reason I hate pink, after that movie it almost became a fashion statement that was "Look I'm really NOT gay as I can wear Pink" - and you had thousands of clones all following each other.
