In my endless nights of sarging, I've stumbled upon a new opener.

In Holland, there are a lot of standard openers that every AFC around is using to start chatting to a HB. Every HB 6 and higher knows them by the book...

the openers are: "hey I love your hair", "are you from around?", "don't I know you of something?" " I haven't seen you here before, do you come here more often?",
"have you got a light?", "I would like to buy you a drink".

Now here's the machine gun opener: Just use as many stupid openers consecutively as you can on your target; make interrupting you a challenge for her. And very important: keep grinning and this way showing you're just having fun and really don't care what kind of impression you're making on her.

Its a real quick C & F opener that creates comfort through humor. Funny thing is that some HB will actually start trying to answer the simple questions, or start qualifying rigth away.

Now I really do think you should design the machine gun to fit your culture. The openers I mentioned are extremely cheesy in the netherlands... thats the whole deal... use the cheesy ones.

Any comments I'd love to hear.
