I'll keep this brief since tbh the girl done all the work for me.
Was at the tube station (subway for our American friends) and had been waiting for a good 5 minutes. Had just gone 4 so all the school kids were pilling in and was getting quite crowded. Was listening to my mp3 player when I chanced to look to my left. As I did so, my gaze met with this HB7, who rolled her eyes to signal her shared exasperation with the situation. I smiled back and then she opened me.
Girl: this has been ages, blah blah
Me: yeah, shattered after playing footie with my friends, just want to get home now for a rub down
Girl: do you live round here?
Me: not far, just xxxxx, how about you
Girl: yeah, just off to work in xxxxx
Me: bit late to be starting work now, are you sure you're not just making things up to sound cool?
Girl: no, no, programmer for xxxx film festival, have directed some films blah blah
From here I kinoed as reward for interesting line of work. Told her I was off in two stops. We fluffed about work for two stops and I suggested we should meet for a coffee sometime. She agreed, took out her phone and took my number!
As I said, she done most of the work. Given that she opened me, and the real life time constraint I decided I’d only be moving backwards by opening her or trying to crowbar canned DHV’s in. Instead I relied on confident, disinterested body language (facing away from her), kino, dropping in the bit about football (active) with team I captained (leader of men), as well as by trying to be C&F. Seemed to work, she text me saying hello and giving me her number, and then a smiley face when I told her it was nice to met her and that I'd be seeing her soon.

Wanna grab that coffee later?
I finish uparound 3 so anytime after that is good.
