Visual opener


How to open a conversation?

There are a lot of pick up lines, icebreakers and openers in Internet, how to start conversation, to draw attention, etc, mainly for men, but for women, too. The first step, the very first sentence or even the first word seems to be the most important one. It's very hard to say something, because you can fail just at the first step. And, unfortunately, there is usually nothing to say anyway.

It's quite ridiculous to ask directions or time at the first attempt. It's quite hard to make a compliment or something similar. If there is no ideas around, no pretext, not even a wink, you are lost. You can't do anything.

But why to open conversation with verbalizing, if it's so hard? You have more opportunities. You have your sight, you can look at something, you can smile, you can point or touch and so on.

But if you have something interesting with you, it makes all the opening procedures much easier. If you have something written already, worth to comment, provoke, if in your possession is something exclusive, unic, if there is anything to look, to read, to add, to interact - that works without initial words.

Using visual opener instead of verbal ones makes beginnings much more natural and comfortable.
