I have been talking with some of the guys on the board, and openers seem to be coming up a lot. I am new to this, so probably having some trouble locating a good source for info. Does anyone know of a website or book that has info on easy things to say for openers?
I haven't had much luck with the ones in "The Game," but that is all I have had time to start reading. I love the 3 second rule, but have been lucky enough about 2/3 of the time to come up with something relevant to the scanerio to talk about on the fly. Some good canned openers should help me get out of cave-man mode by just telling them I want to talk, which shot me down on Friday.

There are a couple of sites that are decent.
www.bristollair.com
I'm also finding a few things in the forum of Mystery's board:

I also found on Mystery's forum, someone has put a TON of material into database form. I think it's in the Main board. Great stuff!!
Hope that helps.

For some reason I can't access the Mystery Forum. I submitted my name and password, but never recieved anything in my email box.
I guess it hasn't been approved yet or something. Has anyone else delt with this issue? Could someone who has access paste the actual threads on here?

I forgot my password to the MM forum and the auto-responder never emailed me the info back. There could be a problem or the system could be temporarily down over the holiday weekend. I don't know which. If you don't hear back in a few days from them email their people and let them know.

I love, non sequitur openings. Today I walked up next to a HB at a coffee shop, looked at the books on the book shelf next to her and said, "I have looked at this bookshelf tons of times and I know there's nothing I left that want to read. I just end up here when I've had too much coffee and can't sit still."
Everyone who drinks coffee knows that feeling, it's not what she expected, she can relate and it implies you are well read.
I once opened a girl with A Butthead impression. I said, "I see you have braces, I have braces too." Neither one of us had braces but she thought it was cute.
Another time I opened a girl by telling her, "I convinced a friend of mines co worker over there that I'm satan and he asked for proof. I said 'ok, what kind of girl do you like' and he described you. I can guarantee free drinks for us both if you come with me and let me introduce you. I won't let him try anything naughty, that's my job. Remember? I'm satan." He numbered her and so did I. She told me later that he was boring, but it was fun.
It doesn't matter what you say. Hell ask her if monkeys fly with coconuts. Who cares if they think you're weird. Weird and fun will get you laid more than normal and boring any day.
