i've always found it tricky when i use an opener e.g. do ghosts exist, the conversation ends 5 mins later and its time to DHV. If you were to use the five questions one, how do you DHV subtly without obviously changing the subject, it never seems to flow when i try it.

I like to switch from the conversation to whatever i like by saying "You know that reminds me of when...." and you just use one of your DHV stories then branch it off to a routine or whatever you like

When it comes to the five questions game I usually combine it with the which gender lies more opener.

When it comes to personnel summer dhv stories I find it a great time to mention them during the winter when talking about how you wish it was summer again.

thanks for the help

I dont think DHV ing as a loose piece in my game. It should be everywhere. You should BE the DHV. For example when observing your dominal piece of mind, bodylanguage ( good posture, not leaning foward etc etc ), your behaviour being one with your words ( One positive solid image in her head concerning you instead of having contradiction between your behaviour and words ), showing your passions and talking about hers, reflecting your best persona traits such as your sense of humour, openess, buildind mutual images..... and the list goes on and on.

I've found DHVing very easy because I have actually done a lot of stuff. I grew up at the beach, lived/ traveled europe, blah blah blah whatever. I'm just saying when you actually have cool stories it's so much easier to DHV because basically every time someone talks about anything you have an experience attached with it. So go out there and try doing something spontaneous every day. If you do this 10 times and you get a real shitty story 9 times well to me that 1 crazy story was worth the 9 failed attempts. Like he said "that reminds me of this one time" all you need is a transition. Think about the show Family Guy. They cut to scenes that are totally off topic of what is going on but it has some sort of transition.

Also, I would talk to random people all the time. Young kids, old people, black, indian whatever. You can learn a lot and it always come back to help you.
