O.K.
I'm in the mall and see a really hot girl who looks like she lives in hottopic or spencers (hubba, hubba) i turn away and somehow strap on the pair to approach her. The "Conversation" goes like this:
Me: Excuse me, can i ask for your opinion in a dispute i'm having?"

Her: (turns around and looks me up and down, smiles. Yeah, an IOI, AFC's born with ""good-looks"" get em all the time) Sure

Me: My friend has a girlfriend who's jealous of him having a picture of his ex on his dresser... it's not a nude picture or anything, just a regular picture. i want to know, is it wrong for him to have it???" ***Yeah, i stole this from Style's book "The Game"

Her: I don't think so, if it's just a regular picture.

HERE's where i die... right when it begins, i just have nothing, i draw a blank... everything comes out wrong (it even starts wrong as i've typed the opener verbadum!! I can't talk right!!!)
Here's what i want to know:
A: What the hell is goin on?
B: What can i do about it?
SAVE ME!!!!

You're inner game is out of wack. You are viewing this person as a target (as Mystery and Style so unfortunately named and popularized). She isn't a target. If she was then she would have arrows sticking out of her. You are 'putting the pussy on the pedestal' and shooting yourself in the foot before even beginning. You don't need to know what 'lines' you need to conquer her. You don't need to count IOI's and use practiced gambits to get her to like you.

Your inability to have a conversation with her stems from the fact that you see her as a prize, not as a person. You are focused on the outcome, rather than the moment, the process. Relax. Dissociate yourself from the situation, and detach yourself from any perceived outcomes (whether positive or negative). She is a guest in your reality, and you just really want to know her opinion on this topic. As you talk more, you just magically find yourself more interested in her and comfortable teasing her. This should be your process.

Hot girls are people too! For Christs sake, it's one of the most frustrating things for me to see, and definitely for those poor girls that have guys clamoring over their attention and treating them like royalty. You are SO transparent when doing this. Hot girls know, without question, that if a guy is being nice, nervous, or needy, then he:
1. Has an agenda. He wants to get into her pants.
2. Is HIDING his agenda, and hence being insincere.
If you were to throw out all the 'Game' material and talk to these girls like you would any other person, you would do loads better than you are now (although at some point you would need to sexually escalate). You can internalize better representations of your reality. Learn to weed through the socially programmed bullshit you have crammed into your head and change your perceptions to better suite your goals. There are many programs and books out there which can point you in the right direction. NLP is a good place to look as well.

Also, you need to make yourself comfortable with discomfort. Anything worth doing well, is worth doing badly at first. Talk to strangers, talk to hot girls, be SOCIAL! You have all the resources you need within yourself. You are only looking for permission to unlock these. Save yourself! The victim mentality is the worst perceptual filter you can possibly have. Change your feelings, change your perceptions, and your identity will change.
