Planning to use the 'my friend is gonna propose to his gf' line today on this girl... How do I shift conversation and number close from that topic?
I really hate opening with something like that... it works well on drunk chicks. but regular chicks at libraries and such, i dunno.
How you do the shift tonally, and bodylanguage wise is more important than what you say.
you can just cut the thread about the proposal thing, and say
"you know... ... i really.. hate... clowns."
It's the stupidest thing, but if it's said right, and followed up with a DHV story about you and bad experiences with clowns it will fly well.
Number closes i usually do seperately,
"You know, you sound pretty fun, and i promise nothing but good conversation, what's your number, we should hang out some time"
Or perhaps:
"Well, i gotta run, but you're a pretty fun person... Now don't get TOO big of a head but...
DO you have a facebook or.. a number?
I have failed doing this a few times though... sometimes they will flat out say "i don't give my number out to randoms"..
