"Hey! Nice tits!" Well, no, not really. *g* Anyway: shouldn´t you be called SunTzu (in case you are referring to the guy who wrote The Art of War)?

Find an excuse to say something that involves the other person. Doesn't have to be an opening line, quote or anything then you talk and you real personality comes out, and hers and it goes from there.

Generally I use...
"I'm not all that great at the art of the pick up so I'll get right down to it. Would you like to have dinner <insert day>?"
It's actually relatively successful as lame as it may sound.

A friendly smile & "Hi" has always worked for me.

hand her a card.
Give her your card.
Have neatly printed on it -- this poem
When we are so far apart,
Can Love break your tender heart.
I love you darling, I really do
Sleep is so sweet when I dream of you.
All of you is like a rose,
Night is here and I must close.
With this I leave you one thought in mind
You must read the first word of every line.
It may not be as simple as "Hi - my name is --- what's yours?" but it sure beats the heck out of "nice tits -- wanna F*ck?"

I agree that a straightforward, "Hi, my name is ________" with a warm smile is the best... You don't have to be clever or bold, just introduce yourself in a friendly way...not hormonally overcharged.

Re: direct
I think this both begs the question, and sets up failure.
Sets up failure cause so many women get a charge out of hurtful combacks , like " So, why do I care.". A more playful opener avoids being serious, thus exposed.
Begs the question, because, if you say " hi", you still need a follwup, after she say " hi, I'm bridget..."

Umm... no offense, but that's kind of creepy.

Regardless of what you say, it will be dependent upon whether the other person is receptive to you.
Just be yourself, say hello. If they are not receptive then don't worry about it.. there is someone out there who will be!
I don't really care for people to use a "line" on me, and am actually quite disdainful of them. I will usually come back with something that shows my abhorence of pick up lines. Every once in awhile I get someone completely clueless who thinks that when I say.. "Why yes, the angels wept, the heavens thundered, and the earth was shattered", that it is encouragement. (In response to the "Did it hurt.... when you fell from heaven).
Just be yourself... that is usually the most charming!

no, the real me is just too shy. I blew great chances with wonderful women, because I cou;dn't get past "hi". Even when I did, my " charm" always got the " lets be friends" speech, or I imagined it did, and passed on interested women- one got married to Mr. wrong cause she got tired of waiting for me to ask her out; another slept with my roommmate cause she was tired of waiting for me to ask; another ....well, you get the picture

Ahh.. such a dilema for shy people. More so when both parties are shy.
More often than not the opposite sex likes for potential partners to be bold and confident. I know I do.. but I am also very charmed by shy introverts. I have a very "loud" personality.. and can't ever imagine waiting around for someone to make a move. If I have even the slightest inclination that someone is interested, I will act upon it. Do I get rejected?? Well, I am a girl.. so the odds are low of that happening.. Personally I feel that if you can't be yourself and approach someone, then why bother? If they are a bitch and say something like.. "as if I care".. then you wouldn't want to go out with them anyway.
Have things changed for you Sir??

do you have a mirror in your pocket? cuz i can see myself in your pants!
that shirt is very becoming on you. of course, if i were on you, i'd be coming too.
do you come here often? because i'm about to cum here right now.
yep, there's a thousand of them, and not a one of them has ever worked on me or anyone i know. try starting off with a compliment, like "oh, nice tattoo!" or "hey, i really like that dress" and then you can start a little mini-conversation about whatever it is that you decided to compliment or mention. if you guys have chemistry, you'll be chatting in no time! i know that i always appreciate something specific to me rather than some generic line. it's a good way to approach, and leaves an avenue for her to elaborate, or for you to ask questions. ^_^
