here are two that my wing and i thought of when we were sarging a mall today, both worked pretty well
1. either grab two different color shirts, or go to a shelf or something were their is a variety of colored shirts and ask the girl if you could get her opinion, you can throw in something like "you look like you know fashion" if you want, then ask her what color she thinks would look best on you
2. if their is a girl working at the store that you want to open and she walks past you while your facing the other direction, look over your shoulder and say "aren't you going to ask me for help or something?" then just take it from there, i suppose you could also use this if she is looking at you for some reason and not saying anything

My friend and i just did something similar for him because hes affarid of approaching so i initiated it but then he wouldnt play along but i went back a week later and asked for her phone number explaining my buddy is a chicken shit lol

Well, Mystery came up with that whole "which color looks good" thing. I personally use, the "I can't figure out what to give my Mom for her birthday (christmas, whatever you want). Can I have your opinon on what I should get her?". I use this on chicks that both work or are shopping in the store. I usually carry items in hand already to show that I'm "actually shopping". Then that is just to get the conversation started, then I make up some incident at the last birthday (chirstmas, etc.) where I saved the day in a funny way... try to make it relate with a gift, cuz that's what you used as an opener. And now you could take it from there...

i thought maybe someone had already thought of it but i've read so much stuff lately it's hard to remember who thought of what, it works well though i just open with that then get into some more interesting stuff

Yup, that's the way you gotta do it.

By the way when in stores try something really trivial as well. Such as "this store is so expensive/cheap isn't it?" Or "I really like this store don't you?" if it is a bargin store like Walmart. Then when she answers change the subject quickly to something more interesting.

I am saying this because a lot of the usual pua openers are becoming well known now because they have been used so much and also because of books like the Game. I have seen field reports on another pua forum where a guy uses an opinion opener on a woman and she responded with "are you trying to pick me up?"

Also a simple situation comment for an opener seems far more like casual conversation than a pick up even to a woman who has been hit on tons of times.

i'll have to try those, i gotta get out of the habit of walking into a store and immediately resorting to an opinion opener

i was at the mall with my mom and she dragged me into a candle store. i kinda chilled up front in the store while she shopped around but than i noticed a really cute clerk. Being surrounded by nothing but candles I said the first thing that came to my mind.


"Excuse me..do you guys have any candles?"

she laughed and said something like "..thats like all we have"

i dont remember what else was said. just random bullshit. no number close or anything i was jsut killing time while my mom shopped.
