Ice-Breakers

The most important thing to remember when using icebreakers is your confidence with them. Confidence will be a continued theme throughout this site. Without it, you will crash and burn! To ensure you are confident and comfortable with your delivery, pick icebreakers that match your style. These aren't pick-up lines. Pick-up lines are a pathetic waste of both your time and that of your target. Your job is to identify with her interests, find her dreams and goals. If you go up to her with pussy on the brain, you aren't getting any. You need to show interest in her first and in what she finds important. Icebreakers will allow you to open the door of conversation.

Setting up a great icebreaker:

    1. An icebreaker is used to increase the comfort level of both you and your target. Icebreakers and pick-up lines are very different at this site. An icebreaker is a line that is delivered after surveying your target. It allows you to strike correctly the first time. Pick-up lines are a swing in the dark. There is no way to know how a girl will respond. This site is all about making every step a calculated process, and it is the only way to generate results.
    2. Use the data you picked up in the approach, and find a fun, friendly statement to make your target feel at ease. The approach section is the crucial piece to the icebreaker. There is no possible way to calculate success without it. The approach teaches you step-by-step the tools needed to create a successful icebreaker. So if you're skipping ahead, go back. The following information will be worthless without reading the approach first.
    3. An important thing to consider before breaking the ice is topic ideas. After the approach step, you should have some idea what this lady is into (i.e. types of music, movies, sports, popularity, self esteem, maintenance level, etc). Ensure your ace in the hole is ready. The last thing you want is an uncomfortable silence where the conversation has died and left no place to go. When you're ready for everything, you won't be surprised by anything.
    4. Example: If she is with friends and your playing pool, try this GAME. (Your opener) "Hey, I'm not getting any mercy over here, you play?" (Her response) "Yes." (Your response) " Come give me a hand!" (Her response) "No." (Your response) "Well, misery loves company, so come on." Remember, you already have a sense of her interests at this point, so mold the above to what you've learned in the approach.
    5.Try to make statements instead of asking questions, this will take some practice. Asking questions is just a habit, which can be broken. Making statements displays confidence and makes it difficult for the target to back out. Needless to say, questions are necessary but only after you have captured them in communication. Once the conversation is in place, you need to focus back on the questions (He who asks the questions controls the conversation). It has to be a gentle transfer of information between you and your new lady friend. You should tag your information on the end of hers. This way, you don't appear to be controlling the conversation. If you sit back and drill her with questions, it will become more of an interrogation than a conversation. By adding
