Past 2 weeks I was trying to make assumptions about the girl to keep the conversation going.
If she is dressed creatively, I say "you look like someone who does something creative for a living"
or, you look like someone who stays in an office.
Then I make assumptions about what she does for fun. "you look like someone who loves the outdoors, someone who likes to read books with coffee. etc.
Been watching some Youtube pickup vids I assume.
Try this; Talk about yourself a bit; it speaks volumes; shows you as a man of value.
To open, try talking about anything going on in the immediate area rather than the focus on her, her, her.
For instance: "Why is that fire hydrant green?" Or WHATEVER is going on / WHATEVER you see in the general area.
What you say doesn't matter anyway: Your eye contact and demeanor tell her all she needs to know that your intentions are not to be her BFF.
