Hold off. Don't go personal until you get that look of interest from her. Just my two cents.

"How you doing?" is pretty direct.

It all depends how you use it. Tonality is important. You can say it in an agressive.."hey come talk to me"..sort of way. Or, you can say it in a more innocent, friendly sort of tone.

I like to use it with a harmless, non threatning vibe. I am just being freindly.

I don't say it like "Joey" from the show "Friends". I don't want to appear like a douchbag PUA. I just want to appear like a confident man who is easy to talk to.

Plus, if "hi how are you?" worked so well, I'm sure Roosh would have worked it into his day game model.

Actually, Roosh wrote a whole section called "Elderly Chat". It about friendly, harmless, conversation. This is exactly that. A freindly conversation starter.

This move works well when you are in close proximity to a girl. Maybe in line at the store, shopping in the same section, at the gym, at the farmers market, a girl sitting right next to you, etc.

This is my default line when a girl is giving me eye contact. When I see a girl looking at me, I just say..."hey whats up".
Simple as that. Conversation is started.

Here are a few examples of how I have used this recently to start conversations and get numbers which led to dates.

Standing at the counter at Whole Foods:

She looked at me and we made eye contact, I immediately opened,

me: hi
her: hey
me: I love those salmon burgers
her: oh, i know i'm addicted to these things
me: do you ever make them yourself?
her: well, i've tried but i havent had much success.
me: i know, its kind of tricky

Got her number. She invited me to her house warming party.

Example #2

At the gym cafe, girl is in front of me in line:

She looked back at me,

me: hi, how are you?
her: great, thanks, just trying to decide what I want
me: I like the soup and sandwich deal
her: really I've never tried it
me: its good, they make the soup here and they give you alot
her: really, i normally make 2 meals out of the lunch specials
me: this is perfect for that because its the most amount of food

I saw her at the gym a week later and she smiled and said hi to me. I got her number about a month later and we went out for a drink. Never banged her but I think I was close. All because of just saying "HI".

Smiling is important. Don't look at her like a lion looking at a piece of meat. An innocent, freindly vibe is key.
