Have the opening line (then let him lead)

What if the guy you’ve been eyeing doesn’t catch on that you’d love for him to talk to you? You might have to take matters into your own hands by being the first person to say something. Remember, you’re not going to ask him out. You’re just opening a window for him to meet you. Don’t worry if it doesn’t sound original. If it starts a conversation, it doesn’t matter what was said or who spoke first!

Top Ten Opening Lines

• “How are the margaritas here?”“Do you have the time?
• “You look familiar.”
• “Do you live around here? I was wondering if you knew of a good book store nearby.”
• “This cell phone is new—can you figure out how to change the ring?”
• “Have you been here before?” (Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t a cheesy pickup line if asked sincerely.)
• “Is that a good book? I’m looking for something great to read.”
• “If you’re done with it, do you think I could check out the arts section of your paper?”
• “Would you mind watching my stuff while I grab another coffee?”
•  “Hi.”
