Walk up to an HB and say Hi or Hello I'm not crazy/psycho or trying to hit on you but you look fucking amazing/awesome/stunning, and ask for advice on a gift(clothing) since I'm new to the mall(I'm not), followed by a story about how she's my best friends little sister, and how I consider him a brother and her a little sister, because I've known them ever since I moved here(Florida), giving her a chance to ask where I'm from, me taking it as an IOI, and taking the conversation from there

Any thoughts?

Thanks man, that part about what she would have bought is better since if I asked her for advice she would tell me where to go, already telling me what to do... Women xD, where as asking her what she would have bought would get more of a personal reply like, '' I like, I would have bought ", letting me now her interests/likes, leaving space for teasing,negs, and making up stories about stuff she likes for DHV, I'm fairly new to Pua but Im trying to catch on as quickly as possible
