There are several different types of “pick-up lines” at your disposal, and this article is the first of a series to explain the different types and which ones you should use. Believe it or not, your line doesn’t have to be very witty, or even unique. If you’re sociable, and make it clear you’re hear for the fun just like the women are, then the Social Opener may be all you need. This method was popularized especially by Mehow in 2006.

Here are some examples of what the social opener can be:

“Hey guys,”

“You guys look fun, I had to say hi”

“You guys look fun, are you friendly?”

“You guys have a cool energy, I just wanted to see what you were like.”

“Hey, how’s it going?”

You can choose between the short simple “Hi,” or being a little more unique and commenting on the woman’s energy. Either way, the most important thing is to come in looking like you’re having fun already and not needing anything from them. You should have your body facing them, but not leaning in. Just speak louder if they can’t hear you. All you’re doing is spreading the party.

You may wonder why we’re saying “guys” instead of “girls.” In general, when you’re being social, you want to imply that you’re talking to everyone, without a sexual/romantic interest in mind. By using a relatively unisex term, “guys,” you sound less like you’re on the prowl, and the girls will have to work harder to earn your affection.

Whether the woman is alone, in a group of girls, or in a group of guys, the social opener will do well in opening things up. It’s friendly, but not overtly showing romantic or sexual interest.

“What do I say next?” Good question. One thing you could do is have a few pre-planned stories to go into. However, I think it is a better practice to get good at improvising. Speaking on the fly is a very important skill in meeting women. While you are developing this, it will feel awkward as you run out of things to say, but just keep working on it. The more new people you talk to, the easier it will be.

The social opener is probably the easiest and most consistent way to open people, once you are good at it. If people are constantly blowing you off when you use it, there’s probably something really off-key with your body language, tonality, or style. Ask a friend for his input on how you look when approaching, and keep practicing. If you open four groups a night using the social opener, you will find this becomes easier and easier each time.
