when people ask you "how are you?" and you usually say "not bad.. how are ya?"
it's also a routine that you use on daily basis.. there are many communication patterns we use. there is nothing wrong with them when they bring results
now, pickup is a difficult field because you have to:
1. being able have fun conversation
2. have an attractive body language (eye contact, not lean in, hands outside pockets, no weird shaking, smile, etc..)
it's impossible to focus at more than 1 thing at a time. this is why it's so important to first have a pre-script stuff that you can say, just like a comedian goes on stage. even though they are funny as hell and can make u piss in your pants. they would still use rehearsed material they practiced for lots of time. why? because it's fundamental stuff that makes most of the audience laugh. not only that, if you give the comedian some input or try to bust on him then he will an automated response which is funnier than yours. how's that so? simply because they have practiced it so many times and heard most of the lines.
hence, if you run always with same script. you can make the verbals on auto pilot, have responses on auto pilot which will let you focus on body language or dealing with her logistics / friends / whatever. this will give you consistency.
moreover, i have a natural friend. he fucked more than 400 girls. and you know what? he uses the same line over and over. he knows all the possible contingencies for whatever the girl might say to him.
it's very important HOW you say things but also important WHAT you say.
from personal experience i have been playing with some line a year ago. i tried it few times and it did not make any girls laugh. 6 months later, i changed my delivery and said it to 8 girls and all of them laughed their ass off

12 months later on some it worked and some it didn't. why?!? because my delivery and sub-communications were different.
feel free to check my blog and ask me more detailed questions
