The 5 Questions Game

Hey guys,

Got another classic for you today. This is a fun little game to play with the girl, and works pretty much any time during your conversation. Keeps the conversation flowing and keeps it light and playful. Sometimes it can even net you a little reward (like a drink) if you play it right. Here's how it goes:

Tell the girl you want to play a game called the 5 questions game. Tell her the game is really easy, and that all you do is ask her 5 questions. All she has to do is answer all 5 questions wrong. If she can do that, she wins. If she answers one right, you win. Then you tell her that to make things interesting, you'll bet something on it. Bet whatever you want, I like to go with a drink or something like that. NOTE: This is not the time to try to squeeze her number out of her. Don't be the creeper that uses every little trick and conversation thread to try and get a kiss or a phone number. Instead, keep it light, something that you bet just for the sake of making things interesting (this is why a drink is effective).

Once she agrees, ask her 2 questions (the first two don't matter, they're just a set up to get her confident that you aren't trying to trick her). Something like "What's your name?" and "Where do you go to school?" will suffice. For the 3rd question, ask "What's a famous type of male cologne?". She will answer something made up, but when she does, tease that her answer probably is some kind of famous cologne in Sweden or something. The idea behind this is to get her mind off of the game for a second. Once you guys are done laughing about the new line of "Badstench" cologne in Sweden, ask her "Which question are we on?". Now at this point, she might slip up and say 4th, then the game is over and you win. But sometimes she'll catch that and will give you the wrong answer. At this point you act like she got you, and that she won. Start to shake your head in frustration and say to her (almost as a side comment) "Oh man, have you played this game before or something?" and she'll obviously say something like "NO!" at which point you smile, tell her that was your 5th question and claim your drink. Clever, isn't it?

So a quick recap of the 5 questions you ask:
1. What's your name?
2. Where do you go to school?
3. What's a famous type of cologne
(Start talking about the cologne for a second)
4. What question are we on?
5. Oh man, have you played this before or something?

Give it a shot and tell us about your success in the comments. The great thing is even if you lose the game, it's not like the conversation is a flop. Congratulate the girl and stack forward onto a different topic. Keep in mind that even if she wins, you still get her alone for a bit while you two get a drink. So really, it's win-win. A great one to keep in the playbook...

Cheers boys! Happy hunting.
