Why not just use canned lines??
Canned lines can be good for some people, constrictive for others.I’ve worked with students who require them because they are linear-thinkers and respond better to a step-by-step structure, and others who stop using them and find it an absolute epiphany.So do whatever works for you.The whole idea of Real Social Dynamics is you aren’t using a “cookie cutter method” — but rather “being your own guru” and cultivating the ability to determine what works best for YOU.The one thing I WOULD say is to be realistic with yourself.If you’re using canned lines as a personality shield to lesson the sting of rejection (because you can say “It’s just the delivery of my lines”) or because you’re too lazy to get good at spontaneous conversation — you’re really holding back your longterm development.OTOH if you find them helpful, keep using them.
