I was at my local gym playing basketball when I realized a girl was practicing (cheerleading I think) by herself. It was pretty early in the day so she was the first person I talked to that day. I also wasn’t warmed up which is why I ended up fumbling. I used a situational opener:
“Hey you’re practicing by yourself” (usually these girls practice in groups)
Her: “yeah, I’m hoping to try out for the team this year” (she was holding her phone and looking back at it so I didn’t have her full attention)
I talked about her experience with the sport but she just didn’t seem to hook and I left the conversation on a casual note.
I’ve had this happen and I know where I went wrong;
- I should have used more hooking techniques. E.g cold reads (“practicing by yourself? You’re definitely the try hard in the team, right?”) or intrigue (“you know who you remind me of?”)
- She didn’t give me much to work with so I couldn’t even move to qualifying
It’s just that most of my daygame sets hook without me using technique that I forget to use them when the hook doesn’t come as easy. I mostly pull out hooking techniques in night game. She was also the first person I talked to that day so very low momentum.
