I constantly find myself in the position that I'd like to meet a girl on the bus or walking to school but all the openers I've ever tried have been for a bar/club environment. I sat behind a natural on the bus the other day and he gamed 2 girls in 10 minutes, getting a huge amount of IOI's and didn't even number close when he easily could have. All he opened with both times was "Hi. How are u?" I was intrigued after I saw him game the first one so once the second one was in play, I turned off my ipod and listened. She obviously gave the normal answer of "good. how r u?" He then replied "good". I thought well shit he's dead in the water now. conversation over..but then he proved himself to be a natural. I can't remember have the stuff he talked about but I was mesmerized. So was she. By the time he got off the bus, she was giving him the doggy dinner bowl eyes and from what I could tell the guy was just making friendly conversation. no negs. maybe a dhv story or two. How do these naturals do it? it drives me nuts cause I can never find any patterns. they just go with it...

so ya for the rest of us... does anyone have any godo day game openers they'd like to share?

Not all of us can be like those naturals. They always always maintain a strong frame and never back down. Us reformed AFC's need additional tactics to get the girl. Now to answer your question: Here are a few openers I have personally tested
1) I go to college, so on the way out of my class, I will see a girl going to the same room I am leaving from and ask her what class meets in that room. Talk about how I have a class right before in the same room
and how I've always wondered what meets right after me. Then I ask her about the professor and make some bullshit story about one of my friends who said the opposite of what she says about the professor. Then FTC and then I can game as normal. Best friends Test/Palm reading/Ring routine, etc.
2) In elevators, it works to open saying something like, "Have u ever noticed how people just get all quiet once in an elevator. Like even the most social people, its almost as if someone just stepped on their vocal cords for the three floor ride. Its always been a mystery to me." Depending on the length of the ride, u can continue to game or be like oh btw my name is so and so and u get sticky that way.
3) I many times will go to dorms and ask people how they like living there as an opener. I talk about how my female friend wants to move in and that I'm trying to find out for her. This also works in regards to certain parts of the campus. Our campus is divided into northside/southside etc so even asking do u live on this side of town works.
4) Ask for directions to somewhere and talk about why u are going there. This one requires skill to keep the girl there tho.

-Well, hopefully this helps. These are just some of the things I do, feel free u use/disregard as you wish.
