  • Wink playfully and smoothly shift into genuine conversation.

3. The “Mistaken Identity” Opener

  • Run up to someone excitedly, look deeply surprised, and exclaim, “Oh my gosh, it’s YOU! Wait…no, it isn’t. But can we pretend you’re a celebrity anyway? I really need this.”

4. The “Weirdly Specific Compliment” Opener

  • Approach with a serious look and say something like, “I just needed to tell you that you have the most perfectly symmetrical elbows I’ve ever seen. What’s your secret?”
  • Their confusion and amusement lead naturally into friendly conversation.

5. The “Time Traveler” Opener

  • Walk up dramatically and urgently whisper, “Quick! What year is it?” When they respond, look deeply relieved and say, “Perfect, I’m not too late. Hi, I’m [Name].”
  • Enjoy the laughs and smoothly transition to a friendly chat.

6. The “Broken Chair” Opener

  • Approach a group where someone is seated, point confidently at their chair, and say, “Excuse me, your chair is actually broken—I need to replace it real quick.”
