Hey guys, I've been concentrating on opening, and getting rid of AA (at least getting it under control).

Now that I don't get almost sick before opening, I need to get good at building some comfort and really anchoring into the set..

When the open (almost always opinion) is canned and do not excite them too much, I almost always eject after opening..

I've been trying the "where you guys know each other from?", but with not good results.. when they answer, it doesn't lead to more convo..
I try the best friend test too, but it's not suited for every situation..

I want to learn to get them comfortable with my presence..

Thanks TonyKing

I would this after opening the set then, for one of the girls, as DHV..
This could be a tool in my box, but a very generic one. It would depend on the calibration..

also just compliment her on something

'Hey thats a pretty cool neck lace' then you can reach and take it to have a closer look

A little bit of physical action makes you alot more comfortable and it will go alot smoother

Then just her where shes from and how she knows the people she is with ,then just point out
things around you and make jokes about that and escalat from there
Good luck hope this helped

Remember that the opening is just a way to slip into a conversation without the usual resistance that a stranger finds. One of the easiest transitions out of an opening is a "cold read". Some guys do palm reading and bullshit like that (which actually works really well for some of them). But you could honestly get away with any observation about her. "You guys look like you're really close. Like best friends." Or "that's a cool bracelet. You must have an artistic or creative side." Ideally, you should make an observation that you're actually interested in, so you can turn it into a conversation.

Try stacking your openers, re-open after the first opener runs out of steam, after 3-4 openers they should already be into you and keep the conversation alive... If not, you can always eject...
Give cold-reading a try also, I felt weird at first doing that but now I'm a walking sideshow, doing small mentalism numbers, reading palms and doing the horoscope... They don't call it "chick crack" for nothing
