I have a huge problem writing openers and deciding which ones to use. My biggest fear is that i'll use an opener and the girl will respond with "that's what the last guy said" or something like that. Secondly, every opener I come across doesn't seem good enough and shit test proof. I want to roll in there and say something unique, AND I don't want the girl to think "oh he is just using a pickup line to talk to me".

My question is this: Have any of you guys ever been called out on an opener because another dude used it on her BEFORE you?

I was also thinking... a good response to the shit test would be: "It's ok, I'm not taking anyone home with me tonight, so don't worry. I just wanted to say Hi."

Am I way off base?

you are over thinking it dude! people can give you advice but it is up to you to personalize and use it. because if you are uncomfortable a girl will notice and it's doomed to fail.

every situation is different so being able to adapt is a BIG plus in the field. if you use an opener, practice it over and over till it comes naturally. So when you approach your target your responses come naturally/subconsciously. You do not want to hesitate because the more time you take thinking the more time you are losing to make a good impression.

yeah dont think about an opener too much you can pretty much say anything and do well if your bodylanguage is positive fun etc.
Dont worry about a sht test too much, just learn to control your frame if you get one and learn think on your feet and have fun .
I think what your doing is good to a degree but just put a date on when your going to use it and stick to it.

Any type of girls your specifically trying to get, your goals with them friendship or relationship? Make a flow chart. Tell us about yourself.

dont worry about it too much a opener is just that... something to open up the convo.. its more about your energy and if your smiling and such they prolly wont even remember your opener just have your negs and DHV and isolation spot ready... plus go out and have fun... the more fun your having the more the sets will open better
