It's not the action itself of cold approaching that causes me a problem, more the follow-up. For example, a typical approach I have:
Me: Hey there! How are you?
Her: Blabla
Me: I'll be honest with you, I noticed you when I got in the room and decided I wanted to meet you. What's your name?
Her: "X"
Me (pull out my hand): Nice to me you, X, I'm Nick.
Doing this part is very easy. The follow-up is harder though. Obviously if I have something that I can use to my advantage, it ain't that bad. For example, she's wearing a funky (or nice-looking) piece of clothing, I might continue the conversation toward this angle. However there isn't always a good excuse like that.
If you guys got nothing situational once you started the cold approach, how do you usually maintain the conversation? I was thinking, maybe something simple as asking "So, how was your day so far" and use some cues to spark a conversation...
