Hey im charlie, last night me and my friend went out in cambridge last night gaming, it went well but.......
Last night we went out, we met in the regal (a weatherspoons) and got some drinks, we had a little competition with each other as to who can open the most sets, it was relatively busy, so i got straight into it. First was a 2set, HB 6/7, i opened with
me:"hey, can i get your opinion on something?"
HB: "yeah sure"
ME:"if your in a relationship, and you kiss someone, is that cheating?"
HB:"yeah definateley, how is it not?"
ME:"What if the girl kisses another girl?"
HB":blah blah blah
so that was the first set, i carried on with this routine, or one asking for someones opinion on weather i should get my ears pierced or whatever. I felt it was going well, i had so much AA before hand, i didnt think i could even talk to a girl in there let alone open and hold a small amount of conversation. So i that respect i felt i had done well.
My problem comes after the opener, i i just dont know what to follow it up with, on my last set i let them answer the opener, then went in with a Neg, the girl I neg'd reacted well, but nothing more came of it and they got their drinks and walked off.
We later went into a club, where i immediately opened a 3set HB 8/9's. they really got into the opener, then one payed me a comment that i smelled really nice, i neg'd her and then did the mystery hand routine, they love it, but them my friend came in and crashed the set and they didnt seem so interested anymore.
So, the question is.... what and how do i follow up a prefect opener? i dont know what time to do it or what to say! please help
charlie
i had the same problem but i got over it by stacking routines. sometimes i even use opinion openers in the middle of the conversation.
i know what your feeling ive been there and been through it
