An '''approach invitation''' ('''AI''') is an [[IOI]] that specifically means you may come over: held eye contact with a "well?" face, a smile from across the room, a comment thrown in your direction. A '''dead AI''' is the same look with no follow-through from her, or a look you invented. Mystery-era teaching said hunt AIs in clubs. [[Daygame]] and the [[Newbie assignment]] do not wait for them; they install the habit of opening anyway.
