I've been trying some street stop approaches. That is approaching a lady who is walking along a street but is well dressed or stylish in some way and doesn't look like she is in a hurry. It has always been day time so far. The trouble that I'm having is that I have a double barreled opener and I can never get to the second bit. The start of the opener is to tell her that she looks good/cute/attractive. Then I would tell her the unique thing that I noticed about her that made me think of approaching. The trouble is that after the first bit, she smiles, thanks me for the compliment and goes walking. I have tried asking some of them to stop so that I can tell them what I noticed about them but they don't. I know that I'm not supposed to chase after them (that's the motto of this website!) so if she doesn't stop, that's the end of the approach.
The trouble is that I have poor fundamentals. As soon as I open with this direct opener, she sees visually what I am offering, decides there and then that she doesn't want the interaction to continue and goes along. If I had a few more minutes to talk a little bit, I think that the interaction could be more enjoyable. I know that there is a whole gamut of openers that one can use, but specifically for the street stop, some just wouldn't seem sensible. E.g. I can't street stop her just to say "this street seems to be full of people who don't know where they're going, don't you think!?" if it's not night game. I can't think of anything besides direct for a street stop. So what are some suggestions for openers that have given you success? Thanks.
