Steal My Lines Cheat Sheet

The following are examples of typical lines for each of these waypoints in the
interaction. Understand them and use them as “training wheels”, but the long-term
goal should be creating your own versions.

Open

You’re adorable, I wanted to meet you.

Hi, I’m [NAME]

You’re cute, are you also interesting?

You seemed like you wouldn’t be boring.

I need your opinion on XXXX

Wow, that’s the most ridiculous look I’ve ever seen.

Premise

You’re actually kind of cute

I can’t decide between loving you and running away

You’re cute, but you seem like trouble

I like you, so far… but I think we should take things slow

You’re kinda cool… you can be my girlfriend for the next 5 minutes
I thought I loved you until you said that

I don’t think we’re gonna get along

Evaluate

At first, I thought you were a bit weird, but now you’re kind of okay

You’re cute, but what do you have going for you besides your looks that would make
me want to know you better?

I’m really into X, how about you? (for example: “I love the gym… wait, do you work
out at all?”)

I hope you’re not one of those girls who X. (for example, “who can’t be spontaneous
and has to plan everything three years in advance”).

Your friend seems cool, but I’m not sure… do you vouch for her?

Narrative (Difficult to have specific lines here)

What do you love about what you do for a living?

What is the craziest thing you’ve done that didn’t get you arrested?

It’s so strange that I like you, I normally don’t trust strangers

You are by far the coolest girl I’ve met… in the last couple hours… who is 5’6”… and
wearing red ;)

I like that we like each other.

Close

It was nice talking to you, what’s your #?

Are you more of a coffee person or a smoothie person?

What’s your view on drinks and witty banter with cute boys?
I suppose I could take you somewhere, but I have to be back, so you can’t keep me
out all night

There’s one more place I’d like to show you, briefly

Are your friends chill, or do they require that you check in with them every 30
seconds or they’ll file a missing persons report?

It’s really loud in here, let’s step outside for just a second so we can breath and not
have beer spilled on us.

Oh, I’m actually going the same way… shall we split a cab?
