I find that I'm great at delivering canned material (openers, mainly)... for the first time. In fact, if you read my earlier posts my first night sarging at a big college party led to a f-close. Its just that after the first day or so of delivering lines, I can never do it the same again. What do some of you guys do to keep your canned lines fresh?

It's not so much what you say, it's how you say it. Remember to speak slowly and with ....pauses as most AMOG do. People who speak quickly look like they are trying to say all this stuff before they get cut off. Keep in mind your body language. I used a lot of canned material with no problem. Just act like you just thought of it when stacking. Like oh, by the way...

Do try to write some of your own openers. Test the out or post the on the forum to get some opinions, try the out on friends, or practice with your wing. Think of situations that are interesting that you've been in and try to make them into an opener. " I need your opinion on something... My friend met this girl the other night and ...." The friend could be you in whatever situation you had been in. Field Test and Calibrate!

Good Luck!

Ok, do you mean your needing to stay fresh with the girl you opened the previous day? Or, do you mean the canned opening lines aren't fresh for OTHER girls anymore?

If it's the first, then that means you need . . . sorry to be blunt . . . but a personality. Show her who you are. Don't just rely on memorized material.

Now, if you mean the second, I would say you were excited when you first used the line, then you've lost your excitement for that line. So, either think of some of your own openers, or purposely amp up your excitment with the same openers.
