This comes off as scripted.
But if it's not, his opener is awful: "I know it's a little random but I found you attractive and I wanted to come say hi to you."
When you make an approach an out-and-out obvious "approach," you set yourself up to fail because you make what should be implicit explicit. You know how we complain that feminist college types want every "escalation" to have verbal consent? And how that sucks the mystery and romance out of things? That's what this approach does.
Try having a conversation or asking for a favor and letting it build from there. In all seriousness, "I feel sick -- do you have any Alka-Seltzer?" would have honestly been a better opener.
It's just the direct v indirect argument really. This dude has got quite a lot of videos up and does both.
