Ever watched the detective show Columbo? Shits on Quincy huh? We can learn from him. This technique makes my opinion openers seem more natural, and less like i singled them out for a question.

Columbo is a great detective because he doesn't outwardly appear to be a great detective. Great PUA's don't appear to be great PUA's.

Example
[Columbo questioning Suspect, Columbo:Awkward/Suspect:Tense,Wary]
Columbo: "So you haven't ever been to the beach where the murder took place?"
Suspect: "I already told you, no! I've nothing more to say!"
Columbo:Ok, well i'm gonna go
[Columbo starts walking away, Suspect visibly relaxes]
[Columbo unexpectedly turns back around catching supect off-guard]
C: "Remind me, where did the sand in your shoes come from?"
[Startled Suspect blurts out...]
S:"The beach of course, now can you please leave?!"
C:"I see! Been to the beach recently then?"

Using it

[Indy walks past a set]
Indy:(to set) "Hey!"
Target:"Uh, hey!"
[Indy carries on walking, set relaxes, Indy then turns back round and say's...]
I: "Actually, maybe you girls could help me with something"....*Opinion Opener*

This makes the opinion opener seem less planned, the "Hey!" seems off-the-cuff as was the decision to ask them a question. In fact, the "hey!" got their attention, so they saw you walk away, then they saw you decide to ask them something on the spot.

p.s that wasnt an excerpt from Columbo, i made it up, but you get the idea.
