no one will give you the time of day, if you dont get their attention. saying things like: how are you? to a total stranger is too mundane and therefore you will yield you a mundane answer.
ask yourself this: has what you have been doing gotten you anywhere? if not try something else
you may have to step out of your comfort zone in order to get the desired results.
in brief dont knock it till you tried it.
