I just created a Valentine’s Day themed opener which you can use for the next few weeks! Seasonal openers are pretty thin on the ground. There are especially few for Valentine’s Day. With some slight tweaking you can make it work all year round:
“Let me ask you something…My friend had a difficult situation on Valentines Day. He basically planned to take his girlfriend for an amazing dinner, but a few days before she said she had to work. That was fine, they had a great day the day before. But, on Valentines day, he remembered he needed to cancel the table, but while his girl was at work, he had a thought. He had a friend who was single, and she was his good friend, he thought it would be a really kind thing to do to take her since she had just split up with her boyfriend and was feeling down. He tried to call his girl but she was at work and didn’t answer. He went ahead and went to dinner with this girl, when his girlfriend came home from work, she went mad! They almost split up and still might. We were talking about it and disagreed on whether he was wrong or not, what do you thinik?”
MMMM… i saw this post and i was a little negative about reading it since is not longer valentine season but yeah, that could work all year long, i think i would add something like “the friend of his is actually his ex-girlfriend but he doesn´t feel anything for her anymore… well at least that´s what he says” so the Hb got more hooked and put herself in that position, then you can take the “bad” side, i mean, from her point of view, like “i don´t think that´s bad, i go out with female friends all the time, what´s the matter?” there she can start arguing with you and spice up the conversation a little, you change the frame to make her more emotional and take the arguing off and transition, the other plus here is that you put her already on the frame that you date a lot of women.
POKER
The thing thats great about this opener is that its so open ended. Its almost impossible to call who would be right or wrong in this situation, which makes it really interesting for a girl to comment on. Also it allows for a quick transition. If she sides with the guy you can reply. ‘Oh so you’re one of those girls that likes to be in a relationship where there is a deep sense of trust? It sounds like you’ve had some great boyfriends, have you ever been in love?’ Bang, you’re talking about something deep that evokes emotion. Or if she sides with the girl you say ‘it sounds like you have trouble trusting certain guys. It must be really difficult for girls to find a suitable guy. You get a lot of guys with natural charisma, everyone wants to be around them, but the popularity gets to their head and they end up being players. But my friend says you can only fully trust your partner if you’re in love with them. I’m not sure if this is true or not, what do you think? When she replies ask how she knows this and if she has ever been in love?
