| Post subject: | looking for openers to use at college! |
all right, so i just started coolege like a week ago. i literally know no one from the school so i've been approaching just about everyone i see, however, mainly its just asking for a particular location or commenting on something and.. i don't know. i need more openers. mainly ones i can use on a random chick that's passing me or what have you. i don't really care about getting shot down and AA is not a problem in any way, so feel free to come up with some openers that are "out there" as long as they aren't offensive. i just made an account like 15 minutes ago, i asked at the chat and got a few helpful tips aswell as some amusing openers such as "hey do you know where the special ed classrooms are?" it was mainly said as a joke but i'll be trying it on monday. anyway, shoot away y'all. if i get some good stuff in here i'll report back next week commenting on my success/failures. |

If they are seated, or standing but not moving, just approach them like you know them... like they are your good friends. The second you display that, they will almost immediately be super comfortable and not even know why. It's really not complicated. If they are sitting down at the cafe, you can literally just sit beside them and say "hey guy whats up?". I do this with my cell phone out, so I don't look like I am actually trying to do anything. It makes it more casual. They will 99% of the time say "not much" and some will get right into it with "how are you" etc. It's really remarkable how comfortable you make someone when you are super comfortable. But with this, always use a time constraint. "hey guys whats up" "uhm not much you?" "just killing time between classes. what do you guys take?" And then your in! School is your common ground and there's loads of stuff to talk about to build comfort and rapport "Do you go to the gym here?" "What's ur favourite campus bar/restaurant" Of course you can move the convo outside of that eventually. If you get no response to your initial "hey" or whatever, eg the girl(s) just sort of stares at you blankly, just follow with "I just have to kill some time between class and I thought you guys looked fun to talk to" Being honest makes it super easy. |

Here's one I like to use: Approach set and say: "Hey guys, how you doing." *semi-awkward greetings/glances from them* "I've got a few minutes to kill before class and you guys looked like the most qualified to kill minutes. It had nothing to do with the fact that you were right next to me, you guys are seriously the most fun looking people in the room. I swear. (mock-serious tone)" *set opens up, conversation ensues* "I could ask the boring stuff about dorms and majors, but I don't have long so let's jump right to the good stuff. Biggest fears! Ever tell a total stranger your biggest fear?" *they answer* "Mine is running out of things to say in a conversation... ... (terrified look, cause you realize it just happened... for pretend)" By then you're golden. This is a basic format of an open that incorporates cocky/funny, DHV, and a neg- they just happened to be lucky enough to be near you, so you graced them with your presence. You follow with the time constraint, then toss an interesting question out for rapport. |

Replace this with something honest and you're good.

Replace this with something honest and you're good.Do you really give a shit about her biggest fear? Would you want someone random to ask you what your biggest fear is? It's forced. Ask something real. Ask a REAL opinion or whatever opener, something you want to know. Plus why would you want to start a topic on something possibly negative. Jump into a positive thing. |
