Hey Lads

I've taken a step back from the game for a few months, just been focused on work . Yesterday I went out with the guys first time in a while. I opened couple of girls, some went well, some didn't, but I completely forgot how to escalate/what to say after you open a girl to play her emotions. I got the opener down. I know that my physical signals are good, strong eye contact, taking space, intent. I know that it doesn't really matter what you say rather than how you say it, however, after I open, I seem to get into "interview mode" as in ..."where are you from, what do you do" type thing just like when I first started game. Any tips or lines would be appreciated.

Thanks!
