Icebreaking questions

I have been dragged into going speed dating tonight. I am
sure you will all have heard of this - 3 minutes with about
30 girls to try and impress each one with you wit and
repartis.

Anybody got any good suggestions for opening questions? Nice
and witty and clever other than just "err.. so what do you
do then?"

And please no uber-nerdy IDM questions like "what do you
think SAW3 would sound like" or "will HAB ever get
rereleased on CD?"

Thanks for any suggestions!

ask her:

why do you come to this kind of dates?

Yeah, it actually turned out once it was shit, and that she
likes scat.

I swiftly exited after that

Nacmat - good question

Good questions but its a bit aggressive isnt it? And a bit
obvious - like asking a girl in a club "do you come here
often"

Yeah but you only have three minutes.. And in that time you
have to persuade them that they like you enough to want to
meet you again...

what I need is a really good funny and clever opening
question to get their attention.

thats the point. you tell her:

lets forget about the stupid 3 minutes, I just wanna spend
the evening with you. wanna come?

I think thats too agressive.. You need to woo them and
gently seduce them...

Points: 31271 Status: Lurker



you go with a piece of ice and an ice breaker.

she will ask: whats that for?

and you say: its just to my icebreaking method, I am a bit
shy you know...

Actually this thread might be good for all of us..

Do you shave your pussy?
"Does you do uppa de bum?" in Ali G voice.

Or more seriously - think outside the box:
Ask them what kind of questions would impress them - that
kind of shit

The last two girl I got on with were both hit with y 100%
success rate line
"Can I make out with you?"

One of them is now my girlfriend :)

Points: 3803 Status: Regular



nacmat's ideas own.

I'm not bad with girls socially, but it IS hard to just go
up to people and start hitting on them.
They can always tell when you are.
So just tell them you think they're attractive.
I liek the idea about "fuck the 3 minutes, let's go out and
get some icecream and watch a movie or something" or go to a
club.

Try

'Hey,My names ___ jo?___ '

and ****smile****
body lang is VERY important ,look at her feet if poss , they
will face away if she doesnt like u .She will mimick wat u
do if she does like you , she will keep looking at ur mouth
if she wants to kiss you , she's fold her arms if u
intimidate her , she's touch her neck alot if she likes u ,
and her wrists ...and play with her hair..and laugh.etc etc
make sure u keep ur arms uncrossed,and dont move ur arm
behind ur head so ur elbow is on show .try and keep eye
contact without staring maincaly.

try to keep conversation light and breezey but fun.
Be funny but don't try to hard
Be shy n mysterious but dont be a reclusive and sit there
'ummming'
Be pleasant-not super nice.not super harsh and sarcastic.

If you reallly like her
as she gets up to leave gently,dont go psyco n slam ur hand
on hers, put ur hand on her as she gets up to go and say
look , im going to be off now -fancey joining me for a
drink?

Make sure u reli like her tho or if she says no then ur
stuck or if the next person is nicer u'll be kiking urself.

oh and dont say coffee cause its screams 'i only want sex'
for some reasona nd even if thats all u want thats not what
u want her to think.

thats all i can think of
sorry
-A-

Anons suggestions are best so far.. Thanks.

But arent you about 14 or something? How come you know this
kind of stuff already?
You must be a good student of human nature.

I'm 16 and I'm not a particually average teen , i'd rather
go sit and watch people in a park than watch T.v.
And im very shy so i watch other people alot when they talk
rather than join in ...

maybe thats why . or maybe i'm just great :P
hehe j.k :P

I promise you , Unless it's lunch-time or morning (like
before work or lunch break) , If you ask a girl for coffee
ur asking for sex.I dunno why it works like that, i blame
T.v.
But i promise it's true... and like 95% of girls you ask
would agree...

:S I don't make up the rules do i ?!

jarwoski - what u said suits ur av so much! Made me giggle
for a moment there!

anon I think you are an interesting person, but your
stalking website is one of the most scary things I have ever
seen.

If that guy knew you had devoted an entire website to him,
he would probably be deeply disturbed.

Yet if you saw the same site on brad pitt ...

...it would be totally normal.

I think there is quite a difference.

Brad Pitt, by virtue of appearing in movies, agrees to
having his image in the public domain, and thus probably
wouldnt be suprised by any ammount of adulation.

Your object of admiration is a normal guy, who might be
slightly concerned about it all.

But it really doesnt matter anyway.

Just think it wont do you any favours in getting jiggy with
that guy if he found your website. He might suspect you are
a bunny boiler (which i am sure you are not).

Points: 1828 Status: Lurker



You're right - there is a differance =

Brad pitt- is famous world wide, peple do not know him,Only
what the media shows us and the charecters played in
movies.False people < It's the same as being emotionally
attatched to a cartoon charecter.yet if someone is obsessed
and wants to marry the guy its okay 'cause so does everyone
else too therefore everyone accepts it.

Tom lewis ( the guy i ''stalk'') :Not famous world wide ,
but in locally well-known punk band ,very popular with
ladies all over the land,used to go to my school , I know
he's a nice guy - i have even met him etc etc .... yet is
abnormal to appriciate all the good things about him ?And we
are remebering that i don't acctually stalk the guy,think
i'm going to marry him or even have a chance with him ... I
just appriciate how he looks and what he is.

Hmm ... somehow i think i'm not the one to be worried about
...

Hmmm but ur right , it doesn't matter :D

hehehehehe ,Btw hav eu decided what to say yet?

No still havent decided what to say - but will let you know
how it goes tomorrow.

Just be careful with that website thats all. You seem like a
nice and interesting person, but the ammount of effort you
have put in a website concerned with one guy might be
disconcerting to some people, thats all.

Your theory is weak anon... I go for coffee with girls all
the time, and I aint' got no loving from any of em yet!!

Girls are so awesome though... I could talk to them for
ages, well one in particular, and it's amazing... oh my, I
don't mean to get all sappy... I apologize!! :)

Gem and I just laugh at each other all the time now. No time
for Coffee.

Just tell the girls that you're nervous and feel out of
place. Go for the sympathy angle

Funk - Just because they went for cofee with you and knew
that u wanted sex doesn't mean they didnt know they didnt
have to give it - maybe they just wanted free coffee??

And what u just said would NEVER work on me 'cause i'd think
you were gay.Expecially seeing as Tokyojo is being 'dragged'
along if he said them two together he = gay as far as they
know...

:P anyways!!

I am going to tell them I am an international assassin, and
my opening gambit will be to ask them which member of the A
team they always dreamed of becoming.

Then I will start crying just to show I have a sensitive
side as well.

LOL ... Sounds good to me , they'll certainly laugh ... tho
I'm not sure wether they'll be laughing hystericaly in a fit
of terror or laughing at you , or the one we're hoping for
Laughing with you.
