5) Find something you have in common.

One of the best openers of all time is finding common ground between you and the girl you’re interested in. If you’re running into a random girl on the bus, that can be a difficult thing to figure out unless you see her holding a book you’ve read. Having common ground is very effective because it virtually guarantees conversation fodder (and the longer the conversation, the better your chances are of getting her number), but because it can be difficult to figure out common ground between you and a stranger, this type of opener is best executed in places where group activities are taking place, like at a dog park or on a paintball field. Starting a conversation with a stranger on the street is a stab in the dark. You don’t know what she’s into or what she might want to discuss. But in a social setting you don’t have to figure out what she’s into so you know how to start a conversation, because just by being there she’s already letting you know. Bonus points: women are more open to approaches from men when they are in a social or group setting. Men in a social setting have an assumed pre-approval from the other people there and have less of a stranger factor.

If you see her reading THIS book, then you really have something in common.
