I am still in the beginner phase of this but have gotten halfway decent at opening, I mostly go with the usual 'hey I know this is super random but I just thought you were cute and wanted to meet you.' I am relieved when she replies 'Thanks but I have a boyfriend', this gives me an excuse to get the hell outta dodge.

But when she doesn't say that then that's when the awkward silences begin...

  • 'So, you from around here?
  • 'Yeah'
  • 'Cool'
  • 'What do you think of this mall?'
  • 'It's good'
  • 'Cool, cool'
  • 'Ok well nice to meet you'
  • 'Cya later'

My question would be what the hell do you say after the opener? How do you transition?
