The Opening Lines for Men
Not
only is it necessary to work out an opening line, it can be downright
FUN!. Most of us need the security offered by effective opening
lines, something we can always rely on. Take time to think through
opening lines you could use. Commit the opening lines you have formulated
down to paper before you forget them. Remember, the opening lines
must suit your personality.
Are
They For You?
Before
we go any further, let me try and explain to you why most of us
fear using opening lines, opting instead to perhaps not even approach
the lady in question at all! Most of us are dead scared of using
opening lines because:
We are scared of rejection
We are consumed by inadequacies
We are afraid of being labeled as a fool.
The first two reasons will be dealt with in later chapters. As for
the last one, let me remind you that flirting is simply being friendly!
Those sleazebags that give flirting a bad name are usually looking
for sex, sex and more sex. Something which should be avoided. So
long as you are sincere and treat women the way you want to be treated,
you will avoid being in that category.
Perfecting
Your Opening Lines
Say
your opening lines out loud in front of a mirror until you are able
to roll the words of your tongue naturally and without stammering
of any sort. Remember to accompany your opening line with a good,
natural smile. You must come across as suave, urbane and most importantly,
full of confidence and self-esteem.
Practice
delivering it in private aloud until you are able to deliver your
opening lines fluently and without hesitation or any sign of nervousness.
Use a tape recorder, listen to your tone of voice and adjust it
accordingly. Remember, you'll have to strike whenever opportunity
knocks and you'll have little or no time to practice it beforehand
so get it right in practice.
Imagine
this: Shyam was walking down Brigade Road when he saw this stunning
figure in black sitting in a cafe. Shyam was so nervous that he
rushed into the nearest gents to practice what opening line he would
"try" on her. Needless to say, she was gone by the time
he left the lavatory. We all know Shyam. There is a Shyam in everyone
of us. Let's not be him.
