Post subject:  Getting better responses from natural openers
My question is, why does this happen? I'm new to the community and I wrote a thread a couple days ago about my first attempt with a swimming instructor. I didn't get any closes but I felt it was pretty good for a first time.

Anyways yesterday I went to a dance (only 18, and can't go clubbing haha) and I went over steps in my head... Opener, False time constraint, Neg the target, DHV... blah blah. But everytime I used a certain opener... it never really worked, whenever I negged, it seemed too harsh and they got extremely offended. It was just a bad night.

However on my way out... there was an HB6.5 that was helping out with the event. But she was someone that actually looked familiar. So I opened naturally.

Me: "Hey, you know what... you look really familiar"
Her: "Yeah, you look familiar too, I think I went to elementary school with you, you're _______ right?"
Me: "Hahah yeah I am... I still don't know you though?"
Her: "I have really good memory, I'm __________"
*We shook hands, and she actually turned out to be my friends older sister*
Me: "Nice to meet you, aren't you _____ sister?"
Her: "Yeah I am..."
Me: "Yeah, what school does your sis go to now?"
Her: "(School Name)"
Me: "No, doesn't she go to _____"
Her: "Yeah she does... I forgot"
Her: "You know I still remember you playing and stuff like that when you were a kid, and I remember you brother..."
*Some other chick I knew came up and said Hi and stuff... we hugged and stuff so maybe she got more intruiged because I shifted my attention elsewhere while she was saying something*
Me: "Kinda freaky, sorry I can't say I remember the same"
Her: "Aww don't you remember me playing the guitar and stuff with ____ and _____"
Me: "No I don't, I don't remember much of that time at all actually, I only went to that school for 4 years (from Kindergarten to gr.3 HAHAHA)"
Her: "Ha! Well I was there for 9 months!"
Me: "Wait... (I was thinking if I was only there from K-Gr.3... then I wondered how the hell she would remember me if she was older...) How old are you?"
Her: "I'm 22... (she must have been in gr.4-7 during that time)
Me: "I must have been a really cute kid then huh?"
Her: "Hahaha, I have really good memory, you're Filipino and Polish!"
Me: "Wow, you're really starting to freak me out... most people don't know this much about my life within 2 mins of talking"
Her: "hahaha shutup, like I said I have amazing memory"
Me: "Or you're my secret stalker..."
Her: "hahah oh be quiet"
Me: "Anyways, I can't keep my friends waiting... so since you know about my whole life... you can add me on facebook"
Her: "No you have to add me!"
Me: "Well I'll forget your name by the end of the night... and you have the good memory..."
Her: "Here... (she wrote her name on a paper and gave it to me)"
Me: "Okay then... see ya _______"
Her: "Bye ________!"


Obviously, me knowing her sister and going to school with her helped, so I don't know if it's actually game at all. Still dope I got her number being 22... we'll see where it goes haha. But even with the attempt with the Lifeguard... I just said things that came from the top of my head. And those were the 2 that seemed most effective.

So my question is... since my "natural" openers seemed to work best... should I keep going with that kind of opener? And if I should have pre-practiced openers... how do I make them SEEM natural?

Thanks in advance.

Well technically, you know the chick so of course it's gonna be easier to use natural openers. (Plus she is way into you, there was enough IOI's there to fill a jumbo jet)

99% of the time you ain't gonna be opening people you know, and well, you want to be different from the other guys who open with the same old shit. It's practice I think.

When I open sets I like to look for opportunities to open. Like, the other night a girl walked outa the toilet with bog roll on her shoes.

So I walked up to her and said, 'Gee I know girls like to accessorise, but isn't that taking it a bit far.' Then I looked at her with a big grin and pointed at her shoes.

Another time, I saw a girl standing by her own looking a little lost, her friends were in the toilets.

'Hey, you look a little lost, don't worry though. My mom's exactly the same, she gets lost in the K-Mart parking lot.'


But yeah, there are opportunities to open, in what seems like a random spur of the moment thing. And they tend to be the best. You just gotta keep your eye out for them.
