1) You have no social proof or value so you are going to crash and burn if you "HIT" on her
2) She is not there to meet guys unless she is sitting in a pub or in a coffee shop, she is there to shop and why must she give a damn about you? She doesn't know you?
3) You are a helpless stranger, you are lost... She has to be inhuman not to help you
4) It is a perfect way for 2 strangers to start a conversation.
(1) Social proof / value means NOTHING on the street. It's just you and her. The only value you have is what you create through your confidence and ability to hold a conversation. ASSUMING you will "crash and burn" is a limiting belief, and a false one at that. Until you actually try it, you can't know! It works for me EVERY DAY
(2) The fact that she is not there to meet guys is what makes the direct opener so much more POWERFUL. Precisely because she's NOT expecting it. You get straight to HER and you get a really honest response, instead of wading through 10-15 minutes of "bitch shield" at a bar.
(3) Yes, prey on her sense of pity. What do you want to project in your first couple of minutes? "Hi I'm fucking confident and ballsy and I think you're hot!" or "Help me I'm lost" ?
(4) So is "Nice weather we're having," but some ways are BETTER than others.
@cutflow -> you don't need to actually say "hot," I just type that to get the message across. Pick something that congruent to who you are and how you talk. I'll often say "really cute," but some might prefer "absolutely gorgeous" or whatever. Backing it up with a specific helps too - i.e. her walk is really confident and sexy, or her style is really unique and cool.
