This is a quick, silly opener than can work in a variety of scenarios....school, bar, etc.
Say your at a bar named XXX Bar, walk up to her and with a grin say "I get lost easily, I need your help...can you point me in the direction of XXX Bar." They almost always laugh and are like "umm...your AT XXX Bar." Act like a goof, laughing at yourself, and move into your routine.
I did this in the library to a girl studying, we were in the library surrounded by books and I asked where the library was, lol, she couldn't stop laughing. Took a seat next to her and went into my routine, pulled her number within 2 minutes and took her out for sandwhiches the next day.
I like this one.
If you can start your interaction off with getting them to laugh, you've started in the best possible way. First impressions and all that.
A similar one this put me in mind of I read a while back was "Excuse me. Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?"
