lighten up, its a joke, and if you have a sense of humor you will find it easy to talk to woman, If you make them laugh at least your getting a response. Its suppose to be stupid and if you play it well you can say about anything. Confidence is actually attractive.
This is absolute truth...
Running routines is stupid. don't try to mimic the approach of another man. Just be yourself. The best way, i found, is to basically find a flaw in the girl... if she has no apparent flaws say her butt stinks or something (to yourself) make her seem much less "unobtainable" and that if she does say no it's like "so what? you look like kermit the frog anyway, you funny looking broad"
It actually makes it a lot easier to be gracious in rejection if you have a flaw you picked out, but decide not to shoot it back at her. You can be like "okay, thanks for your time, I'm sorry to bother you" and she'll think you're an amazing gentleman.
Clearly this is only so that you can get over the initial hesitance to approach. It's not good to denigrate someone constantly because you'll start believing these flaws are real. They could just be temporary or made up but it helps you realize they're people too.
Personally, i just look for an opening about anything. I was visiting Falling Water (a frank wright joint) and there was this cutie pie Brunette studying at the visitors art gallery. she was attending the help desk. So i look over and say "Looks like it's a good book

"
She looks up and smiles "oh man it's so boring..." i say "aren't they all? What's it about?" and a conversation ensues. Apparently she was going to university and she just had a bit of a job attending the gallery for extra pocket change. I wasn't looking for anything from her but it was just to make sure my "approach skills" are still up to date.
HOnestly, i still get a little nervous when I approach attractive women... Like this one that was a divorcee. She was hyper sexy... Cute Brunette with glasses. she was walking SUPER fast, so I was struggling to catch up to say something... She walked out into the street without looking and almost got hit by a car...
OPENING! hahahaha
Said "Wow, they drive fast out here... Almost as fast as you walk!" She turned around and smiled, So I just expounded on how fast she was walking, that i liked her shoes, I walked her to her car and we ended up having coffee
