I've been tryin to stop relying on canned material so much and develop inner game, but finding the transition fairly hard. However, last night it actually went quite well!
This was thanks to a game me and my housemates were playing last night.
The game was; one of us had to wear these silly glasses and go around the club talking to sets. At any point during his conversation, one of the other guys could go up to him and 'stretch', as soon as this happens, they had to immediately drop the topic they're are talking about and start talking about dinosaurs and nothing but!
The objective was to see how long you could keep the girl interested by talking about dinosaurs, which turned out to be in most cases, not long at all.
We all got blown out more often than not and some were pretty hilarious, but i did manage to get a kiss and number close (admittedly i did change the topic after 5 minutes of dinosaur talk, but it was all pretty natural.)
At one point, my mate was doing really well with a hb9, i managed to 'stretch' just as he was number closing, he stopped straight away and asked her what her favourite dinosaur was, she walked away!
Another variation we tryed was instead of talking about dinosaurs, carry on the interaction as normal but with a really cheesy italian accent, without telling them why of course.
But yeah, it's definetly given me more confidence in my natural game because if you can keep a girl interested by talking about dinosaurs then you can keep a girl interested about anything. I also learnt that girls don't yet appreciate the qualities of a cheesy italian accent.
