Ok so here's a rough routine I put together for a minimum of a two set but I guess it could work for Mixed sets with a couple of lines added in. This is all style's stuff but I'm a newbie so could you guys rate this?

ENTER SET

ME: Hey Guys (pause) I’m just heading back to my friends but before I do, let me get your opinion on something. How about it?
SET: Sure thing/OK/etc
(Sit Down)
ME: Ok my friend Lisa over there (gesture over to friends) has been seeing Dave (carry on gesturing) for six months now and they’ve just moved in together to a new flat just outside Exeter. So of course all of their stuff is in boxes right? Well Lisa noticed this shoe box tucked under the new bed hidden well away. So she looked inside and found photos and letters and even printed e-mails from Dave’s past relationships. Now she’s really upset with this but he won’t get rid of them. What do you think about that?
SET: (Will Hopefully Express Opinion)
ME: Yeah totally I mean if it was me I’d want all of that stuff gone immediately.
(Immediately Change Subject)
ME: Anyway just quickly because you know they’ll start to miss me (cheeky grin) how do you all know each other?
SET: (Explains How They Know Each Other)
ME: Ah Ok you see you two (point at them) seem to know each other quite well in fact I’d say you have the same smile. Ok lets see (re-arrange them next to each other). Now Smile! (Do smile gesture). Ok now let me show you something cool, do you two (pause) use the same toothpaste?
(Interpret Responses)
ME: See you learn something new everyday!
ME: Speaking of learning, you guys look kind of studentish what are you studying?
SET: (Blah blah blah)
ME: Hey that sounds pretty cool, you know I study Psychology hence these silly games I play with people like that best friend’s thing. It’s a bit of fun and people seem to enjoy them so I guess I’ll keep playing them haha.
ME: I know earlier I said you have the same smiles but yours definitely shows a glimmer of a dark side missy. This is clearly a Bitter/Sweet relationship. You’re the evil one and you’re the nice one.
ME: So now a bit of fun before I ditch you guys. Do you two have phones that can show a picture when someone calls? Ok well first of all here’s my phone now type your number in and call it but don’t pick up. How about that we just exchanged numbers shazzam! Ok now you (the other one) take this phone and take a picture of us. Come here (arm around and pose for camera). Ok now type your name in here.
(Rinse and Repeat for Second Girl)
ME: Now I’ll expect a text from you guys later on, don’t make me have to send an angry one to you!

This will be quite critical. Just want to help a fellow exonian become a pua :D.

ME: Hey Guys (pause) I’m just heading back to my friends but before I do, let me get your opinion on something. How about it?
SET: Sure thing/OK/etc
(Sit Down)

That FTC gives them the opportunity for them to say 'no' before you've even begun. Try changing the last couple of sentences to 'I need an opinion on something. Right my friend Lisa over there...' etc. Don't even ask them if you can ask the question.


ME: Ok my friend Lisa over there (gesture over to friends) has been seeing Dave (carry on gesturing) for six months now and they’ve just moved in together to a new flat just outside Exeter. So of course all of their stuff is in boxes right? Well Lisa noticed this shoe box tucked under the new bed hidden well away. So she looked inside and found photos and letters and even printed e-mails from Dave’s past relationships. Now she’s really upset with this but he won’t get rid of them. What do you think about that?
SET: (Will Hopefully Express Opinion)

I've kind of done the jealous girlfriend thing to death in Exeter when I was starting. Don't be surprised if someone calls you on it. I'd change that.

Although I find that opinion openers aren't the best for opening day game anyway. I usually ask for directions to an awesome club, or music store they can reccommend, followed by an amusing story based on 'i hope you're not giving me bogus directions, because this one time...'. Then I say thanks, and take a couple of steps away, then I turn and am all like 'oh by the way you guys seem cool, maybe you can help me out with a female opinion on something'.

ME: Yeah totally I mean if it was me I’d want all of that stuff gone immediately.
(Immediately Change Subject)
ME: Anyway just quickly because you know they’ll start to miss me (cheeky grin) how do you all know each other?
SET: (Explains How They Know Each Other)

If you change the subject so soon, it looks like you really don't care about the answer and have just said it to talk to them. And we all know that this was burning on your mind, and they just happened to be the first people you felt like asking :cool:.

Try adding on a second part, like style does 'actually this is a two part question'. Then changing the subject. Oh and don't change the subject to 'how do you all know each other'. Make it seem like something caught your attention about them, and you had to comment on it.

ME: Ah Ok you see you two (point at them) seem to know each other quite well in fact I’d say you have the same smile. Ok lets see (re-arrange them next to each other). Now Smile! (Do smile gesture). Ok now let me show you something cool, do you two (pause) use the same toothpaste?

Like I say it has to sound natural, not scripted. There's nothing more offputting to a girl than what she perceives as a pick up line. So you have to transition properly.

This could work, if you were like 'hey your nose wiggles when you smile, thats so sweet', then when they both smile, be all like 'hey you know you guys have the same smile, you seem like good friends, wait do you want to see something awesome? My friend told me about the best friends test yesterday, I've been dying to use it. You guys can be my guinea pigs' and go into the best friends test.

ME: See you learn something new everyday!
ME: Speaking of learning, you guys look kind of studentish what are you studying?
SET: (Blah blah blah)

Boring question, plus if you aren't a good actor it will sound cheesy as anything when you say 'speaking of learning'.

ME: Hey that sounds pretty cool, you know I study Psychology hence these silly games I play with people like that best friend’s thing. It’s a bit of fun and people seem to enjoy them so I guess I’ll keep playing them haha.

You're qualifying and making excuses for yourself. Don't do it.

ME: I know earlier I said you have the same smiles but yours definitely shows a glimmer of a dark side missy. This is clearly a Bitter/Sweet relationship. You’re the evil one and you’re the nice one.

This is good. Except I'd reword it.

ME: So now a bit of fun before I ditch you guys. Do you two have phones that can show a picture when someone calls? Ok well first of all here’s my phone now type your number in and call it but don’t pick up. How about that we just exchanged numbers shazzam! Ok now you (the other one) take this phone and take a picture of us. Come here (arm around and pose for camera). Ok now type your name in here.
(Rinse and Repeat for Second Girl)

Ok I don't think you'll get a number close from all this unless you look like brad pitt. And probably not even then. To be honest you're better off just working on each sticking point individually instead of trying to come up with a foolproof set of routines. If you script everything, it will probably sound scripted.

ME: Now I’ll expect a text from you guys later on, don’t make me have to send an angry one to you!

EXIT SET

This insinuates that you care whether they phone you or not. you don't. If they don't call you, they missed out on a great time, and you're meeting loads of other girls instead.

Ah yeah I was giving up but I sorted out some inner game and figured I'd persevere and get successful so here I am back in this world haha.

Yeah I met him once before he headed back to London or wherever it was he went he's a cool chap.
