ahh dam...which openers wud u say r the best, so i can see if i can formulate my own... im very erm..scientific i like to analyse something that has been done before then create something of my own.
Wow, you sound just like me. You see I am very analytical. I guess my mom being a banker and my father being an accountant has something to do with it. I like to analyze things and figure out why, how they work. So I know exactly what you mean.
1 problem though. There really is no such thing as the best openers. Sure someone can list a bunch of different ones from some pickup guru or their own and they might work out okay. I have found through experimentation it doesn't matter what you use.
I have seen posts with guys opening with crazy thinks like "Can I pee in your butt" while laughing, to what I used was "frozen turkey" just because it's out of place. What I found was with the right about of enthuisiasm, smile, and body language almost every set opened anyways. It was one of my first big "Ah ha" moments.
I mispoke a bit earlier. If you are in the right frame of mind, smiling, and that sort of thing you can pretty much say anything. It's just in how you convey it. If you use the opener you created and do it in a very playful half laughing as you say it manner it'll probably work.
If you do it with a serious look on your face and not smiling it's going to come across the worng way. That's why I said I wouldn't use it. Knowing you are likely just starting out my suggestion was based on the idea you might not be calibrated to this idea yet, and might get blown off.
I think you can see what I mean. I hope this saves you a lot of time and anguish in tearing openers apart. Any questions you can always PM me.
