You brought up an often overlooked topic - Small Talk
Many guys focus too much on the opener. They practice and do well in this phase, but then they fizzle fast because they haven't spent any time thinking about what follows.
In reality, small talk and building rapport is more important than the opener itself.
We have 4 articles at Optimacy on Small Talk. They include actual case-studies and examples where we explain each step of the process and the psychology behind it.
You can check them out at
