This happens a lot in cold approach. A part of them is in a state of mild shock that they're even talking to you because they don't expect you to actually walk up to them. The IOI was subconscious - once they're consciously enjoying you being there it becomes much more normal.
Dude that line is golden. Will be trying that on my next cold approach.
