Lost for Words?!

I have all of a sudden become speech less when it comes to witty openers...
Now i just typically use a direct opener and it works okay, but i can just keep using direct opener.

Can anyone give some advise on some witty, or indirect openers to use in a college campus setting, or a store?

First of all, welcome to the forum Ace.

Second, why do you think you can't keep using direct openers?

"im a douchebag. wana be my friend" I used this at uni but that was for getting friends not dates

Ace, welcome to the forum my friend. In agreement with LA, you can still use direct openers. So, you want to learn a new opener for college settings, here it is.
I was walking along and I noticed this sexy ass asian girl, but she was listening to her ipod. So here's what I do, I walk alongside her, and tap her on the shoulder. Immediately one earplug comes down, and I stop the forward motion(this is so key, stop her by stopping yourself from taking another step) Now I say, " Some guy told me to get your attention for me" Her, usual reponse would be "what?" That's when you can take it wherever you choose, but I chose to steer the convo toward myself at that point, always in a funny manner. peace,lvoe and succe SS

Ace, here's one I used months and months ago that I think is also a good example that you could modify for a campus setting. I used it in a club.

I got on the phone with a friend as I was in the bathroom. I had an ex-g/f in there at the time and didn't want her to have a reason to talk to me, so I got on the phone. Anyway, walked out of the bathroom, immediately saw a two set I wanted to open, walked over to them, while on the phone, asked them "give me your opinion, if you and a guy both really liked each other but were both too stubborn to admit it, what would you do?" I think they said I should make her admit it or something like that. I said "nah, wouldn't work. She's too stubborn." Or something similar. At which time they looked at each other and said "she's a bitch." I still had the phone up to my ear, so I moved the mouth piece back to my mouth and said "Oh, I'll tell her she's a bitch then." With a smile on my face. They both busted up laughing and told my friend I would call her later. Voila, opened.

By the way, the friend on the phone wasn't the girl I posed the question about, lol. So, modify that for your setting. That was just something I came up with on the fly, so you CAN be direct and creative on the fly.

pua "hey I need a female perspective on something."

hb "ok what is it?"

pua "Do you think a guy should be direct or indirect when asking a girl out?"

hb "what do you mean by indirect?

pua "something lame like, have you got the time?"

hb "OH definitely direct!"

pua "wanna go out?"
