Here's one for you guys. Rock, paper, scissors. Hell yeah, son. I'm not a guy to depend on rehearsed openers, but a little rock, paper, scissors will get you a long way. The trick is to really sell the game as if it's the greatest game invented, and as if it requires a lot of skill. Any girl with a sense of humor will dig it, if executed properly, and that doesn't take much. A good strategy to use in rock paper scissors is the "AMBUSH!!" This is when you catch your target off guard and challenge her to a match. It's all in good fun because the chances of winning are still the same, ambushed or not. This is a great technique because if she digs it, you can catch her attention every time you see her again, no matter who she's with. Just give her an "Ambush!" Ambush can also be used in moments of awkward silence, if one does so happen to occur. Don't overdo it, and remember to hype the game up in order to give it some value. Try it, but be committed. Don't spoil the single greatest and most intricately designed game known to man. Let me know if it works out for you. You gotta credit your sources, man.

Yes this could very well work pending on energy. Your going to have to be very up beat the whole the whole time that locked in so you dont seem fake. After you could go for some kino by challenging thumb wrestleing.

Worth a shot. I'll try this tomorrow with the hot co-op student in my office. Good suggestion, son.

The rock paper scissors part isnt anything special.
The ambush bit is sweet man. But i wouldnt use it for an opener. Far too intrusive - shell probably hit you. However if you already know her - and you used it - itd be great for quite moments.
The reason i say the rock paper scissors isnt great is because this is just one game. there is many. Why not a thumb war???? At least there is kino involved.
