Just following up on Grimm's post a few days ago regarding being spontaneous. Today is a great example of what I was trying to tell him:
During lunch I was waiting in line at a restaurant and there were two HB 8s standing in line behind me. For some odd reason, I had this feeling that I had sat on something or had some kind of stain on my butt. Standing in front of these HBs made it all the worse so I decided to do what I normally would do...make light of the situation.
Me: I turned my body about 1/4 towards them and asked over my shoulder. "Hey, can you guys do me a favor?"
HBs: "Ok" They said it with a lot of hesitation.
Me: "Do I have something on my butt?" Then, I fully back turned them. I looked over my shoulder down towards my butt. "I feel like I've got some kind of stain on my pants and it's really bothering me...kind of like how you don't want to smile when you think you might have something in your teeth."
HBs: Both laughed and looked. "No, you look fine."
Me: Fully turned around to face them and said to my target: "I dunno...can I trust you?" Then I looked at her friend, "Can I believe her or is she just a liar? She looks like trouble..."
HBs: The target just had a fake shocked look on her face...the friend laughed. "Yes, you can trust her."
Me: "Are you sure? I bet she 'borrows' your clothes all the time and doesn't return them."
HB Target: "Stop it!" Then, she slaps my arm a little bit.
The touch...when they touch you're in. This is usually the point at which I reward her by opening my body fully towards, maybe a wink and smile.
By the time we got through line they had invited me to eat with them. I really didn't have time, but I decided to take them up on their offer. Number closed the target.
My opener was totally congruent to my personality, and says a lot about how I'm actually concerned with my appearance and I'm not afraid to enlist others to aid me this quest. I used some very light negs, which I don't even consider to be negs so much as I'm just teasing them, something I do to everyone. I was basically just talking to them, which is easy for me because I'm fucking funny as hell
Anyway, the point is that you need to be spontaneous and yourself. If I didn't think I really had something on my butt, I never would have opened them. Not because I couldn't, but because I didn't really want to. I used them so they could do me a favor, not to run Game on. That shit comes out naturally in all my interactions.
The something on my butt opener was cash money though and I *might* try it again.
