you start this after your opener and hook. in the attraction phase if your target is in a group you are going to want to make your routines and stores more engaging to the group, that way they can all be part of it. When you get into the comfort stages then you can go into more the intimate/personal gambits

Wrong section for this. But you should do these things (DHV) after you reach the hook point.

Spot on.
Although I have opened with bar bets before when about to order a drink.
Had a five set eating out of the palm of my hand after winning the bet and chuckling at them as they bought me a bevvy.
Of course it is harder to get them to comply, but I saw this group taking notice of me and so knew that the opening would be easy.

I think what people should realise is that using different routines in different stages is just a guide. If you want to try something out or mix it up a bit there is no set method. Do not be restricted by a formula that is prescribed by another PUA. It leads to narrowmindedness (is that a word?) relax and if you feel like a drink, make a bar bet with the nearest lovely!
