Some time ago I came across this video and thought it would be a nice routine for locking-in, qualifying, transitioning and also opening and negging:

When I'm at a club I always see that rose selling guy sooner or later. Then I see lots of AFCs buying roses for HBs. So when the rose selling guy walks past me and I'm already seated and isolated with the target, I ask her, "Would you like a rose?" Either she says yes or no, I say, "I'll get one for you". Then I give her a prepared rose or I take a napkin out of my pocket and start making the rose under the table/bar. If she notices and asks you what you're doing just ignore it and smile. Then give her the rose saying, "I got something for you".
Worked really nice for me in the past
Another way I use the rose is as a lock-in prop:
When I'm in a set talking to the obstacle(s), I turn to the target, give her the rose and tell her, "Hold this for me". Then I turn back to the obstacle(s), continue talking and ignoring the target. She will immediately crawl on me asking me why I gave her the rose and giving me IOIs
I also developed an opener using this routine:
I go up to an HB10 and ask her
PUA: Do you have a napking for me?
HB10: Um, yeah here you go.
PUA: Thanks (blowing your nose in front of her, then run your opener/routine/material on the whole set)
after reaching the hook point say to HB10
PUA: Do you have a napkin for me?
HB10: Again?!
PUA: Yes, please...that's polite of you. (This time you make a rose out of the napkin while talking to the obstacles and use it on the target in order to lock-in or to qualify)
Another funny opener would be:
PUA: (holding the rose) I love you!
HB: What? haha
PUA: Oh no, now you're rejecting me. I knew it, I shouldn't have showed you my feelings, now I got hurt again (like the time I got left at the altar - if you want to give some credit to Ted Mosby of How I met your Mother^^)
HB: Oh no it's ok blabla
PUA: When was the last time somebody said that to you (screening her if she has a boyfriend)
HB: blabla
then continue you some other topic or go with the "Drunk I love you opener" (- credit to Sinn)
What do you think? Any other ideas?
