No, it makes you seem like a newb, and that you're new to the area. As well as questions that a smartphone can answer.An easy opener is to say “excuse me do you know any good restaurants around here” or coffee shops etc.
Here's 2 simple ways. For when the chick is leaving the beach.While this is true, it doesn't mean use a shty line as possible. You might as well use a good line that a girl that isn't into you to begin with, to use on, and impress her with that."Hey. Im sure you get this all the time but you are so beautiful."
Gauge her response. Did she stop? Did she smile? Is she receptive?
If at least she stop to talk to you, ask her name. Then ask her "Would you like to hang out sometime?"
Is she didnt stop and is not receptive you wish her a good day a be on your way. Dont overthink it. Remember Rollo: Rejection is better than regret.
Drop a $20 bill on the ground behind her, then run around to the side of her, and say "Scuse me ma'am, I can't believe you just walked past a $20 bill and didn't notice it.
Another line, is to say,"Scuse me ma'am, there was a few dudes that took pics of you. Did you catch them?"
Use this line when she had spend a time wearing a thong, with butt facing up. So she is unable to see her surroundings...
And then you'll know by her reactions if she likes you or not. If she says stuff like "Oh, that happens all the time / men take pics of me all the time" that usually means she's hooked.
