Are you sick and tired of being afraid to approach an attractive, interesting woman? Have you ever wanted to impress your friends with how easily you can strike up a meaningful conversation with a woman, anywhere, anytime? Well this book was created for just that purpose!

My name is Adam Lyons and over the last few years I’ve become recognized as one of the world’s top 3 experts in dating and attraction. I was a regular columnist for the world’s leading online men’s magazine Ask Men as well as an advisor and contributor, for newspapers, magazines, and TV shows across the world. This is a far cry from my scrawny 15 year-old self who was voted “Least Likely to 2 CREATED BY ADAM LYONS

Get a Girlfriend.” Not only have I been recognized as an International Affiliate Member of the American Psychological Association, but I’ve actually gone out into the field and tested all of the methods and ideas available. This incredibly useful book, which draws from the more comprehensive teachings available in my ‘Comfort Building’ DVD program, is jam-packed with dozens of specifically categorized opening lines and ice-breakers that are so simple and yet so effective…and will help you to captivate your audience and increase their willingness to be with you. The book is divided into 3 categories: 1. Functional lines are the easiest ones to remember! People are more likely to respond to these because they are simple questions that any decent human would respond to. 2. Complimentary lines are a little bit more romantic since they focus on the girl and will most likely make her blush. 3. Observational lines are based on the situation, so you'll need to be observant to what opportunities are around you to use these lines. While you can jump around the book to find your favorites, I highly suggest reading it from beginning to end so you don’t miss out on any lines. Finally, the book ends with an important chapter detailing the most common mistakes to avoid when chatting up ladies. The beauty of 101 Ways to Break the Ice is that it is so easy to use! Immediately you can start incorporating these valuable techniques into any social situation to see just how effective they really are! The key here is that women are far more likely to respond to ice-breakers that are genuine, witty and different, as opposed to, cheesy pick-up lines that merely insult their intelligence and make you look desperate and boring. I will teach you the difference between this: BAD: “Did you know that they changed the alphabet? They put ‘U and ‘I’ together… And this: GOOD: “You have the most incredible ‘girl-next-door’ look about you. I just had to come meet you.” (#45 Page 11) 3 CREATED BY ADAM LYONS

CHAPTER 2: FUNCTIONAL LINES Functional lines focus on asking for basic information that almost guarantees a response. You can use these anywhere! 1. Where is the nearest Starbucks? 2. Weird question... you don't happen to know the best place to see the stars around here do you? 3. Where is the restroom in here? 4. Sorry to bother you, but what is that you're having?

Where can I get into trouble around here?

8. Where's the best place to catch a cab around here? 9. You happen to know what time the subway arrives? 10. Excuse me, are the police very good runners in this town? 11. You guys happen to have any gum or mints? My breath is an atrocity. 12. Are there any 24-hour coffee shops around here? . 5 CREATED BY ADAM LYONS

CHAPTER 3: COMPLIMENTARY LINES You are already looking at her so focus on what she’s wearing or what her style is and use it to get the conversation started. She’ll be impressed by your compliment and attention to details. 32. You have a great look. 33. Excuse me, did you intentionally match the hardware on your shoes and purse because that's very impressive. 34. I love how you matched your makeup and your nail polish. Is that a Birkin bag? It’s fabulous. 35. (If you see red soled heels/shoes) I normally don't like tall heels, but I noticed you're wearing Christian Louboutins because when you walk the red on our soles have more room to flash. They look terribly classy. 36. You're so cute. I'd be kicking myself if I didn't come over and say hi. My name is... 37. You've probably heard this a lot, but I still have to tell you, you walk in heels like most girls walk in sneakers.

38. (If you see a scarf with skulls) Excuse me, that's a great scarf. Is it Alexander McQueen? 8 CREATED BY ADAM LYONS .

39. Are you in fashion? That outfit is very Avant Garde. 40. I don't know if it's your feet or those shoes, but I can't help but think that when women spend a ton of money on shoes, that's what they hope is going to happen. 41. Your tan is magnificent; I'm finding it hard to think when your skin is in my line of vision. 42. You have beautiful eyes... especially the left one. 43. I love your ponytail, most girls just look lazy with their hair up, but on you it really shows off your neck and jawline. Is that intentional? 44. Your outfit is awesome; you look like you just stepped out of a music video. 45. You have the most incredible girl-next-door look about you. I had to come meet you. 46. You look like the queen of all strippers. 47. You have fantastic eye contact. It's kind of intimidating. 48. Those stockings are really cool. Do they tear much? 49. I love those glasses. You've got a whole sexy librarian thing going on. It's really working for you. 50. You look like a schoolgirl who never leaves the principles office. 51. You can't be from around here. Your sense of style is amazing; are you from New York? 52. You have great arms—the muscle definition is really impressive. Can I feel? (Don't wait for answer.)

53. Your hair is so shiny—you look like you stepped out of a shampoo commercial. 54. I couldn't help notice how you just (whatever cool thing they just did). You're like the honey badger, you don't give a shit. 55. I hope I'm not bothering you but... You look like someone I was afraid I'd never meet.

CHAPTER 4: OBSERVATIONAL LINES Be observational! These openers are not so much questions directed at the girl but rather statements designed to get her to open up to you. For this chapter, you must often be loud enough to ensure she hears you. 56. (When a girl is looking at choices) That's the best one. 57. (Look at the girl, then double take and tilt your head as though seeing someone you recognize, bringing your hand up to point, then looking away as though not sure.) 58. (Yelling upon any disappointment) This always happens to me! 59. I just can't get this song out of my head. Oh wait, (removing ear buds) that's better. 60. You guys look like you'd know where to get drugs. 61. (Kneeling next to a girl to tie your shoe) My knots always go the wrong way. 62. The line between hipster and douchebag is so thin these days. 63. Your outfit is so tastefully provocative; teach me your hipster ways. 64. What do girls prefer, devil-may-care hair or devil-may-care attitude? 65. (For a girl studying but seemingly distracted) It's so hard to focus on schoolwork when you're supposed to. 66. (Sitting next to a girl at the airport) Don't you just wish you were going to Vegas? 67. (In Vegas, or anywhere everyone is dressed up, next to a girl who is dressed down) Wow, everyone is so done up. 11 CREATED BY ADAM LYONS .

68. (Next to a girl who is really dressed up) Wow, who are you trying to impress? 69. Interesting decor in here, I wonder what period it is! 70. (At a birthday or New Year’s party) I wonder how many candles/balloons/hats there are in here. I need to find a rain man. 71. This is a great song—I wonder who the artist is. 72. (Based on what song is playing) Omg... Do you guys love Lady GaGa/Ke$ha/Beyonce as much as I do? 73. (Girl in produce section) How do I know when is ripe? 74. (If you see a birthday girl) Happy birthday! 75. (In a library or a loud environment, type on your phone) Hello, my name is (then hand her the phone, go back and forth. Also works well with the deaf) 76. (In a very old place) I heard this place is haunted. 77. (If you see a girl looking at guy) I think he's wearing Spanx. 78. (If you see a girl looking at flamboyantly dressed guy) That guy is... FABULOUS! 79. (In an art museum) I heard they have an exhibit of art done by animals. (When she says "really?" Stare at her, and then slowly shake your head) 80. (If you see a girl looking at trashy girl) She looks like she's looking for a guy to take her to TGI Fridays.

81. (If you see a bored looking girl) You look like you'd rather be anywhere but here 82. (If you see a girl alone and looking around) Your friends wander off? 83. (If you see a classy group) My friends are all talking about sports, so I thought I'd come meet you since you are classy and intelligent looking. I hope that's not too weird. 84. (If you see a big group) You guys look like a lot of fun, what's the occasion? 85. (If you see a girl who obviously dislikes another girl) You think she’s wearing anything under that skirt? My money’s on herpes. 86. (If you see a classy girl in high heels) You look like you should be holding a Cosmo. 87. (If you see a girl texting while friends talk) Hey! No texting your boyfriend during girls’ night. 88. (If you see a girl looking at guys) Which one is your favorite? 89. (If you see a bored looking girl with fun friends) Are you the DD? You look like your friends are several drinks ahead of you. 90. (If you see a girl who has just been approached) Do you think that line works . 13 CREATED BY ADAM LYONS

on anybody? 91. (If you see a girl looking at badly dressed girl) What do you think she was thinking when she bought those shoes? 92. (If you see a girl who is getting eye contact from guys) I think he likes you. 93. (If you see a tiny skinny girl) You're so tiny and delicate. You go to steakhouses and order salad, don't you? 94.

CHAPTER 5: MISCELLANEOUS LINES Even if it’s not the best idea, a man should have the balls to be able to just go introduce himself. ‘Hello my name is…’ 95. (If you get eye contact and a smile) You're terribly cute, I wanted to meet you, I'm ... 96. How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice. 97. (Have a restaurant opinion argument): My friend and I are having a disagreement, help us out: Rolls or cornbread? Chicken or beef? Salmon or tuna? If you're at a steakhouse, is it ok to order something other than steak? 98. Please tell my friend that putting ketchup on his mashed potatoes is gross. 99. Who would win in a fight between Chris Brown and Beyoncé?

100. What's the best pickup line you've ever heard, because I want to meet you, and I'd like to use that one. 101. (If you see a cute friendly looking girl) I choose you Pikachu! 15 CREATED BY ADAM LYONS

CHAPTER 6: WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW? By now, 101 Ways to Break the Ice has given you some ideas on how to get the conversations started. However, successfully luring her in is only the first step – there’s so much more to learn, especially if you want to: - Get her to respond positively to your calls or text messages - Have women genuinely want to be around you and spend time with you - Ensure a second date! For example, it’s important to know how to avoid the 3 most common mistakes most men make when chatting up ladies. Over the years, and through thousands of failed attempts and dismal conversations, I’ve honed my skills to teach men the secrets of attraction. When you understand the principles of dating and attraction, you can turn it on whenever you want. Not only will you never be alone, but you will also be able to get the kind of girlfriend you’ve always wanted. I’ve narrowed down the top 3 reasons for failure when chatting up the ladies, using this simple acronym, ICE: Interrogation, Centering the Convo on Yourself, and Exaggerating the Truth. Mistake #1 – Interrogation You’re innocently asking her questions in an attempt to keep the conversation going and to find out more about her. When you notice that the welcoming, intriguing girl who loved your opening line has suddenly turned cold and a little dismissive. So what happened?? A common mistake most men make is that they inadvertently turn a natural conversation into an inquisition, bombarding the poor girl with question after 16 CREATED BY ADAM LYONS

question. A conversation needs to be natural…it needs fluidity, and once you know this and can do it naturally without making her feel like she’s being cross-examined, you’ll find her a lot more receptive and inviting. Mistake #2 – Centering the Conversation Around You While it’s great to share your interests, your likes and dislikes, beware of hijacking the conversation and talking almost exclusively about yourself. This makes you look a little selfish and can alienate the lady. Example (Bad): Guy: “So, what's your favorite food?” Girl: “Oh, I like Italian.” Guy: “Me too. I prefer Chinese food though, especially from the Szechuan region – the spiciness has just the right kick. It’s my favorite food to cook actually.” Example (Good): Guy: “So, what's your favorite food?” Girl: “Oh, I like Italian.” Guy: “Me too. I love Chinese though. Have you been to any good Italian restaurants around here?” By focusing on some topics that she enjoys, without crossing into ‘Mistake #1,’ you’ll find that the conversation has a much more natural flow to it, thus greatly increasing your chances of success. Mistake #3 – Exaggerating the Truth People frequently lie about themselves in order to keep the conversation going and make a good impression. While this may seem like a good idea – it isn't. With a little practice and by using the tips and strategies in this book, you’ll have greater success and will feel more comfortable simply being yourself. Remember, she’s far more likely to be attracted to the real you! Meeting and talking to new people, especially good-looking, elegant women, can be tough. But having the skills and confidence to do it…and do it right…can be lifechanging! . 17 CREATED BY ADAM LYONS
