Engaging Conversation Starters

This document provides two examples of basic opening routines for starting a conversation with a target person and their friends. The routines involve bringing up a lighthearted or intriguing topic to get the group talking, then potentially isolating the target person with a challenge or game before making a smooth exit. Both examples begin by posing a thought-provoking or playful question to the group, then direct a negative comment at the target ("OMG, ADD Girl") before continuing the discussion or challenging the target individually before leaving.

Basic Starting Stack, Example 1

Opener (A1)
“Hey Guys, How long should you wait before changing your Facebook status to Single” 

False Time Constraint


“I can only stay a moment”

Neg (target)
“Does she have an Off Button? (role eyes and smile)

Observation (A2)**
(look like you are about to walk off and then notice something)

“Wow, you guys have been friends for a while right! – [Girl Coding Routine]

Exit
That’s it – just to get you talking – dont forget a fun playful vibe and attitude, if you then have to exit
simply say: “Ok Guys, that’s all you get, I so cant be rude to my friends” Smile and Exit

Basic Starting Stack, Example 2


Opener (A1)
“Breast Enlargements, Yes or No?” 

False Time Constraint


“Hey, real quick as my friends and I are celebrating [open loop]”

Opener (A1) continued.


“Would you tell your good buddy that his girlfriend was planning to have her breasts done for his
birthday (pause) if you knew he wouldn't like it?”

Neg (target)
“OMG, ADD Girl (role eyes and smile) annnnd back to me”

Opener (A1) story part.


“The thing is, her twin sister just had hers done – do you think she’s really doing it because of her or
for him?…. I mean, would a girl really go under the knife just to be competitive with another girl”
[this is an example of a phased opinion opener that drips intreague with each phase - you have to
have a friendly vibe to pull this one off - all in the delivery   ]

Challenge (A2)**
(look like you are about to walk off and then notice something)

“You know you look like you could be a good liar – lets find out!” – [Lying Game/5 Questions]

Exit
“Gotta rejoin my friends, Pleasure meeting you – come by and say Hi later!” Smile and Exit
