just like "hey, i think you're really attractive so i had to introduce myself" type game to like an hb8-9..would you say it's overdone? i'm sure a lot of the hotter chicks get approached by strangers with the same line..would you say it's corny and too unoriginal?

around campus/on public transportation specifically.

Comment on her style or something that stands out to you, rather than saying "your attractive". Also they may not be approached as much as you think as often the hotter the women the more intimidating they are to guys

Your not getting rejected, you seeing if she has good taste.

Especially on a campus, most people are comfortable meeting people through mutual friends, and often are unused to being approached. Remember, the opener is just to start the conversation and introduce yourself as someone different from the rest.

On a campus, I usually call out to a girl that's passing, like "Hold on a second". Then stop and think for a bit, maybe look around, then when the anticipation is built up, I tell them I was trying to think of a pick up line, but couldn't come up with one. This demonstrates interest while being original and most importantly on a college campus, gives a story to tell her sorority buddies.
