A straight forward, non-gimicky opener that works well

[Dongfu]

This is a play on the typical pick-up line, "dont I know you from somewhere?" or "Havent we met before."

So after you open her with this generally lame pick-up line, and she says "no" You extend out your hand and say, "well nice to finally meet you, I'm _____"

 

[zzeitgeist]

I was actually thinking really hard of a good opener that suits me and isn't considered to much of a pick up and this came to mind. I think this can work really well. Its so easy and breaks the ice. Good job pointing it out

Brilliant opener, I'll make a mental note of this to try out in the field.

 

[Python]

That openers been around years.

 

[amoka]

That openers been around years.

Just what I was about to say.

 

[Boschy]

It could start a conversation well enough, but I don't really like it. Starts things off immediately with a lie, which you then have to then tunnel out of sooner or later.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes. I'll test it too.

Are you talking about Zero2's or the one I posted. I'm sure they have both been used before, but that doesn't necesarily mean that they're common knowlege. They're both worth a try.

BTW Zero, that's alot of adds in you post :crazy: I got shyt for having 1.

You guys need to specify which opener you are talking about. The one I posted does not start with a lie. It's a question. Zero's open's with a lie, which I also felt isn't quite my style. But I think it would work none the less.

 

[Zero2]

Dongfu!
Clear your PM please!

PM me for a free copy of Supersize Your Sex Life

Add? That isnt from me man, I just copied and pasted from the email brent sends us, cos I thought that might be similar with your style bro, and I thought it might actually strengthen and help to increase the effectiveness of your post.

Props to you and brent, not me bro.

Honestly I haven't heard Zero's opener before, I was referring to that.

[edit] Actually, on second thought, I've heard it about a billion times in comedy movies with corny love relationships in different variations.

 

[Python]

It works okay but it's so well worn/well known that the girl will just roll her eyes.

Update

I used a spontaneous opener yesterday that worked well. But I'm sure this one's been around since 500 BC.

Anyway, here it is.

As I was walking into a restarant I passed through the outdoor seating section. As I walked by a girl, who was sitting with another girl smiled at me. I smiled back and said, "hold that smile." This created immediate suspense for her. Now she is waiting for me to return.

When I got my food I went outside and noticed that she had a condiment on the table that she brought from inside. I sat down at the table next to hers and said, "I'm gonna have to steal that from you."

Initiated convo, set up plans to hang and exhanged #'s. Going to a dance party tonight where these girls will be there, as well as a few others I've met in the last few days. I'll have to arrive at a descision at some point tonight.

 

[Incog]

This opener in the original post works. I have used a variation of it many times in the past. It's simple and not too intrusive.

As I walked by a girl, who was sitting with another girl smiled at me. I smiled back and said, "hold that smile." This created immediate suspense for her. Now she is waiting for me to return.

This one is also a good idea, and although I haven't tried it, it seems like it would fly.
