Sometimes, usually more than 3 times a week I got a girl looking at me in the subway, I think this is IOIs , bc if they weren't they would not keep looking, I also have the habit to look at people a lot, instead of americans that are always looking outside the window or their own stuff (books, etc).
What should I do? I have no idea how to approach in that kind of place, bc it could I fear and It seens too agressive to come near the person and start asking something (obvious), should I look back and send an smile? what after that? i dont know which is better for subway. I just started reading the game (1st book)

To what I've learned there is really nothing you can do wrong besides not doing anything. If you don't want to go for canned material, you can use the fact that you are a foreigner to your advantage. If there is a seat next to her, move there, and you could open with a direct opener since you are in a public situation. Go with something like (not field tested or anything):
You: " Hey, I would like to get a women's opinion on something. I'm not from the States, so I wanted to know if it's socialy acceptable for guys here to start converstions with random girls?"
Her: (Yes/No/What?...)
You: " Like I said, I haven't been here for a lot of times, but I rarely see guys with balls enough to go talk to girls they don't know. They seem too concerned on them selves to even notice anybody else. Do you have an idea why that is?"
Or something like that... I'm sure there are a lot of better ways, but that should do fine. If you feel too anxious about it, just say 'Hi' or ' Hey, do you know which subway exit goes to blablalbla'. You will start to fell more confortable the more you do it. One of the keys is not to wait too long before going to see her (3 second rule). If you wait too much, you will only become more nervous about doing so. So act quickly after you have establised eye contact. Do it calmly, and smile.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

I will try this opening of yours, but tell me something, Is it better to smile (when she is far away) or not smile and approach?

As for smiling, try to smile before making eye contact. Not a huge grin, just a small coy smile. Or you can go ehead and smile after the contact and see were that takes you.
