First attempt to open using my own material.

My goal here was not to close, or move on to any advanced stages. I'm trying to take this one step at a time by approaching as many people as I can and having interested conversations that don't focus on me that sharpen my wit.

Oh, by the way, I have such severe Approach Anxiety that I nearly puked after this exchange.

Here is an exchange I had with a nice little blonde at my university.

I began by casually walking up to the girl and opening with this on the spot.

Me: "Wow, those are some fantastic boots! So much classier than those furry ugg feet that I constantly see around campus."

Her: "Yeah, they are great aren't they? I have a pair of UGGs that I'm trying to get rid of, would you like them?

Me: "You know what, I would take you up on that offer, but they really freak me out."

Her: "Why do they freak you out?"

Me: "Because every time I see somebody wearing them I get scared thinking that the person is stepping on a puppy or some other helpless animal."

Her (Laughing): That is hilarious. I'll have to remember that one.

Me: "When you do remember it just remember that I'm letting you take credit for it, but I have to get out of here. It was a pleasure metting you, enjoy the rest of your day."

Very nicely done

Got another small approach today. Here's how the exchange went.

Acquaintance shows me a picture of her with a dog and I reply.

Me: "Wow, that looks just like your brother!"

Her: "Yes, but my brother smells much better."

Me: "I prefer the dog scent myself, it helps stave off women from being too direct with me."

Her (Laughing): "You lose!"

Me (On the Fly): "Wet Dog is a sophisticated scent filled with warm, woodsy hints of mildewy moss and a hint of fresh rain. You just can't appreciate its subtleness."

After that I swiftly turned around walked away. I'll be continuing this approach later.
