From Chess, to marvel vs capcom 3, to conversations, to a stored I work at, opening is something I suck at. Granted, Mid game and end game I pretty good at. Creating the opportunity for all the tactics I have for the middle and end are my biggest downfall in life.

So I ask, what're some of the basics for opening anything? I don't think it's a coicidence that I'm bad at opening in nearly everything. I say things like "Hi my name is nick." It's not a very strong opening. Other times I coment on what she might be wearing or the environment.

I never mask what I'm trying to do [see if she's someone I'd be interested in]. What are some good opening strategies?

Been there. Is gonna take work to get better.

My suggestion to you is to do your homework. Pick a method and stick to it until your game gets better. Once you know how the process works, and you can do it as a 2nd nature to you, you can drop it.

I would suggest mystery method to start with. It guides you through all the steps. Your not gonna learn how to ride a motorcycle unless you learn how to ride a bicycle first.
