Hey guys, wondering if anyone could give me a bit of feedback on this routine and suggestions to improve it and plan contingencies.
Me: Wow, you remind me so much of my friends daughter!
Target: How old is she?/I'm not sure that's a good thing./Is that a good thing?
(These responses are the only ones I've had from (somewhere over) 20 times FTing it and they seem to happen due to the natural pause I give in the routine. Are they good, bad, and how might I use them since I know they are the only three responses?)
Me: Seriously, when she grows up I recon she's gonna be just like you. We took her out the park the other day and tried to get her to feed the ducks, but all she would do is chase them. That is so what you would do!
Target: Oh I love ducks/I don't like ducks/Yeah you're right.
(alternatively an obstacle would have overheard and pipes in)
Obstacle: Oh my god, that is exactly like you!
These responses have been roughly 20% love ducks, twice don't like (in which case I usually get on my high horse about how great ducks are, because they're awesome), 20% yeah you're right and finally 60% of the time the obstacle interrupts (which invariably ends in the women laughing).
My aim with this was to have a very quick routine that would seem spontaneous. The only discernable dhv in it is protector of loved ones (i hope at least, since I figure who would go to the park with his friend and their kid if he didn't protect his loved ones).
I could possibly find a way to add that the friend is female to perhaps add a preselection spike.
I'd appreciate any feedback you can give. Even if it's just to say this is a pointless routine and doesn't accomplish anything.
I like it though.
I was thinking in particular since I know the only responses that are practically given how can I use them to continue into something else.
Cheers
Sylph
