The definition of opening a girl

[Godsninja]

Just like the tittle asks, what do you guys say the definition of opening a girl is? I'm surprised that I don't know the answer to this...
I want a real good answer, like the difference between an interaction that's an open, and an interaction that's close, but no cigar.

edit: Or is it as simple as saying, a positive interaction is an open, a negative interaction with barely any dialogue is not???
but then again, there is a gray area in that too where she reacts positively, but the interaction is short lived due to her actions/body language.

I'm baffled here xD

I want to keep track of my openings... but where is the line!?

I think the opening is what comes before the interaction generally (unless you communicating non verbally) (but i guess there is still an opening to communicate non verbally)

I would define opening a girl as the first thing you do e.g. if you make eye contact with her she make it back and you kinda hold it (both known it occurred) i would call that a non-verbal open cause her first impression of you would be the dominant powerful man she held eye contact with (if you have your fundamentals down packed)

And in a verbal situation would be what you initially say to a women before you start interacting e.g. Hey you one of the most curvacious body iv seen in a while, Hi my name is blah blah blah.

Not sure if this is correct in GC terms but in my definition of opening a girl is your first move you make to grabbing her attention.


Not sure if i explained myself well but hope its helpful

I've always seen the opening as starting the interaction/set. Not sure if there is any differentiation with the opening tbh.

I meant what a successful open with a girl would be, not the definition of an opening, (e.g. "hi", "what are you up to today") I meant, when is the interaction considered a successful open, versus an interaction that might look like a successful open, but is not.

This is in response to Marty's first year report card in the Journals section.

He said:

To be included as a girl who opened, she'd have to give her name, I'd make my intentions absolutely clear and at least request a date (unless she'd preempted that already, with a boyfriend objection for instance).

I think it's a great thing to keep track of how many girls you've opened, and it's inspired me to do the same. However, recognizing unsuccessful opens can be misleading, so I figured it ought to be understood a little more.

I guess it determines what your aim of the interaction was

If you aim was to get her number and you got her number then it was successful

If you aim to go get coffee with her and you got her number instead it wouldn't be a failure but it would be a step to successfully completing your goal

not sure if this is what you wanted but meh
