Thats a pretty good approach for beginners such as myself. I will definately try that out, no matter how sad it sounds saying your learning to talk to girls, honestly, some girls think that shit is cute so it would probably work
I would pull the good old, I am new to this part of (City) or (Country). Do you know where blablabla, you can get a name, a number and a date all in one and even on the first day if she is not busy. Just keep talking to her, show your relaxed and feeling comfortable so that she will feel those vibes and your chances will improve. Even make up a coffee shop that is non existent, as long as it gets the girl to stop and engage in a convo with you. I did that twice and both ended with a number and a date, and shockingly the final one was a relationship for abit
