Melannie Gregersen explains why silence after a pickup line kills the conversation. Have follow-up topics ready, and learn structured small-talk techniques to keep things flowing instead of awkward.
you have to have something else to say after the pickup line. This is one of the biggest mistakes. Because if you just say, "Hey, how's it going?" and she goes, "I'm good. How are you?" "Good." Like, now it's just gonna get really awkward. So instead, make sure that you have something else to say. That's why when I teach in my Academy, we go through absolutely every step so that you know exactly what to do. And a big part of it is just knowing how to have that small talk and how to create that connection past the pickup line. So do not just say nothing next, because if you do, even "Hey, how's it going?" is not going to work.
