Here is something to remember guys. When Using Natural Game, or using Observational openers it all comes down to the way you present YOURSELF when saying them.

remember, if you want to be good at this. Talk to everyone. Talk to older women Especially. Talk to men, people working at restaurants, starbucks, bookstores. Just open to everyone. Attempt to get them talking. Remember, When you aren't at a bar, People aren't on the defensive as much, People will assume you just want to talk. So as long as you Supply them with a starting topic, display confidence, and keep a non creeper attitude they will take to it.

Examples.

Yesterday at Starbucks I was conversing with a few employees.

First guy.

Me- Hey bro, Merry christmas.
Guy - Merry christmas.
Me - You been working long today?
Guy - A bit, Almost off. But I'm off tomorrow.
Me - nice man, I work christmas myself, But I Did it to trade for NYE off.
Guy - Nice! Ya man, I work Nye that sucks.... But hopefully I can still make it to Atlanta early for a big party at a friends house.
Me - awesome man!! I'm going to Dallas. ( I purposely leave out what I'm doing)
Guy - Wha? Why dallas man something going on? (This was a catch open option, It works perfectly, Always peak interests.)
Me - Lights all Night. Its a huge rave. You like EDM?
Guy - Ya bro! Who's playing?

Needless to say by the end of the convo, Me and dude were cool. Next time I go in, Guy will definately be like whats up. I know every person that works at that starbucks.

Right after that. I went to Soy's noodlehouse to get some springrolls and talk to my friends who are bartenders... Go figure the only Bartender I Don't know is working. Awesome, Free time to introduce.

Me- Hey! Whats up, Merry Christmas eve. Congratulations on working today!
Bartender - (Who btw, is an HB 8.5) hurraayyyy...... What can I do for you?
Me - Get out of that Sappy attitude and Enjoy my conversation (smirk)
Bartender - *laughs* Ok, Thank you. Merry christmas.
Me - Whats your name ? I know the rest of the bartenders here, Joey and haley are both off today? (note that i met both the other bartenders also while they were working at this restaurant, Same way I am meeting this girl here)
Bartender - Breanna, Call me Bri. I dont go by breanna. If you call me anna, I will spit in your food.
Me - Well bri umm... I'm gonna stick to drinks today then.
Bri - *Laughs* Well, Maybe I went overboard. But what can I do for you.

I order tea, order spring rolls. We sit and chat and Become close. After they close up, I sit inside and relax while talking to her and meeting another waitress and we all just chop it up for a bit. The waitress invites me to join her and her boyfriend and their friends for chinese that night For X-mas eve dinner since I was planning on being alone. I decline knowing that I want to try and Sarge last night, Which if You read my Field report went well.

These are not pick ups. These are simply Conversing with people. But They will lead to Confidence in your approaches, Smoothness when talking, and Making friends with employee's NEVER hurts. They will hook you up with stuff that assists you in pickups later.

Hope this helps.

I agree...I do the same thing a lot. Co-workers, people at shops/stores I frequent, wherever. Not only does it help get me in the mood and practice but you never know when those people are gonna invite you to a party/set you up with a friend or if there's a woman nearby and you've just showed her DHV and your social proof.

another reason why to talk to strangers you don't necessarily find attractive is because they might have hot friends.

Ahh the benefits of knowing people. This is how you develop true game. If you do it constantly forcing yourself to be sociable (if your naturally shy) it becomes natural. I do the same but my convos aren't as extensive as yours but I do put more effort in if the person serving/helping me has a bubbly personality because then I enjoy talking with them. Not as natural as you but I'm learning good post.

I agree with this a billion percent... I especially like the attention put to knowing the names of the bartenders, coffee shop baristas, everywhere you might game or take a date.

I find its sooo much easier to transition locations from a coffee spot to a local pub or from one club to another when instead of saying 'hey lets go to this place' you can say 'come with me to such and such because my FRIEND bill is bartending there' its almost a promise you'll have a good time there because you already know the people running the place.

Not to mention if you DO get preferential SPAM when you bring a hb there its going to drive tons of value right off the bat.

groundwork man... lay it... get to know your town... or at least five or six great places in it. awesome post.
