Your method is great.... if your goal is to just collect phone numbers.
The time constraint thing, I just don't see a situation cropping up where you would 'only have 2mins' to chat up a girl. Sure, you might need to catch a train, but it's not gonna happen every day. You need to work on better schedule planning and getting on top of your shit if you're constantly in that much of a rush 24/7.
Lately I've been trying to gain more control of "unideal" situations. Like opening a big seated group with the ten surrounded by an AMOG and his AFCs or some other AFB(itch)s (these girls are more than obstacles). There are so many parameters that you need to take into account and with lots of practice I believe you can turn it into a plausible scenario but first you gotta get some control of all these parameters.
A month ago I opened a seated 20-set (all girls) and although I approached and won the right couch, there was an AFB on the left couch who kept shouting (hysterically) - she was calling the security - so I tried to calm her down (she was telling me to get the fuck out of there and I was telling her that I love her) and basically she forced me to leave! And I hadn't even approached the ten yet!
This kind of shit occurred to me so many times with the big sets. With the standing ones I have more control but when you hang out at bars, usually the tens are found in seated sets. One way of approaching the tens is to wait for them to wander around the bar for a few minutes (e.g. go to the bathroom), before their AFB friends dragged them back to their table. And even in those cases it might be more wise to open her friends just to avoid any cockblocking. Another case is to wait for the set to leave the bar, in which case you have a walking target which makes it even harder.
At this point of my game, I view all the above as scenarios with time constraints. I've tried different methods and techniques and the best method that gave me the opportunity to encounter my targets again (2 out of 3) is the one mentioned in my original post.
This method is clearly in contrast with the rest of my game which is applicable to more ideal cases. Hopefully, I've become clear in what I mean by a time constrained approach and if you guys know any ways which will HOOK you in such sets let me know. (Hence, I've posting in the PUA lounge section and not in the routines section.)
P.S. I will not comment on the "number does not equal sex" because I never argued the opposite! (When I moved to London it took me about three months to realize this and by that time, the acronym PUA would probably remind me of some sandwich.)
