said with enthusiastic sarcasm to match the mood of the venue. Whensaid everywhere else, it is said with relaxed sarcasm, unless shereally is having lots of fun then you can just say it straight. Inboth instances you crack a very slight smirk to let her know that youare being sarcastic. Say the "Hey" with a healthy volume to gether attention so that she makes eye contact with you. Once she doesmake eye contact, deliver the rest of the line. She will respond backwith laughter or something simple like "Really?" or "I know, Iam!" She is now opened. The reason this line works well is becauseyou are joking that she appears boring, so you the interaction oftenstarts with her qualifying herself to you. (By "qualifying herself"I mean she is explaining or rationalizing a perceived flaw.)

When I use this opener, I either followby making a comment about our shared environment or somethingsituational, or I stack another opener after it, such as this secondone.

Here you are going to guess where she is from, whetherit be a city, state, or country. I like using this opener on girlswho are obviously not American because you dive into a guessing gameof what country she is from. It’s win-win for you because if you
