I was @ Circuit City shopping in the video section looking for the movie The Tao of Steve when I spot this HB in the next lane, and I just stared at her like a AFC and didn't say a word, I could come up with an oppener, my mind when blank, and I was scared to talk to her, I think it was the weed that I smoked just a bit earlier in the parking lot.

What oppener whould of you guys used to open up this one set?

Remember the 3 second rule. Don't wait to long to approach, when you do that you will start to think to much.

Your in a video store, you should have used a situational opener.
Walk up and say
"Have you seen this movie before? I saw it with my ex-girlfriend and it was horrible. " or if your in an electionics isle say "Don't buy that (point to an object) my ex-girlfriend bought it for me and it broke within a month."

I had this probelm in Taget once. This HB 7 walked up next to me after coming strait from the line(so I took it as an IOI). She started looking the Zune section and I mentioned I had one and loved it. But I think it was Juggler who mentioned you should be able to hold 90% of the conversation because they, some of the time, will be a little freaked by meeting a new person. After about 5 mins I had put in my 90% and she had really nothing to say she seemed kinda shy, so I left.

Your first mistake was thinking too much. Which opener you use is irrelevant, so long as it is non-threatening. Walk in and say something like "Could I get your opinion on something? <insert inane yet interesting description of a situation here>". From there build some comfort and number close.
