I did not think of this idea, its just part of my collection. Probably my most used opener since i like to open big groups best. (Dont use the exact wording because it tends to make some people not understand what your trying to say, keep it simpler)

The way to a girl or her friends, is having interesting things to say. A lot of the time guys use canned lines. While people make joke about these lines REAL canned lines come off as if your starting a conversation. Without anything of intrest to say, your game will fizzle out and you’ll be left in an awkward silence, and be forced to run away tail between your legs. A couple of good openers that have worked good for me in the past especially when opening up a two or three set (amount of girls in a group) is this.

ladies, can I ask you guys a question? A friend of mine was talking to me over there and seriously he actually believes that buying his girlfriend (insert object here) will make her melt in his hands. I gotta know since I’m over here is that true?

This will enact a natural response to answer a question given. Women won’t feel like your coming onto them and you can easily gauge their intrest level by how they answer the question. If they give a quick retort NO!. Then say thanks and eject. If they add a little bit of their own advice mixed in with a little laughter. Move in and escalate.. because that’s a huge IOI (indicator of interest)!

Haha, thanks I’ll tell him. (walk away and then turn back quickly) I almost forgot, what’s your names? so I can tell him about the sexy ladies i asked to give him advice. Note: Shake their hands as they introduce themselvs. (Its extremely important to show INTENT in a pickup because without a clear line drawn indirectly stating I think your beautiful and would love to go out with you made. The women your picking up will think your just a FRIENDLY GUY and friendly guys don’t get the girl.)

I find a little humor goes a long way to really get women in the right mood/mindset when the girl you have your eye on shakes your hand, just say..
pshhh what kinda handshake was that?
If she has ANY interest she’ll laugh and defend herself in a playful manner. This is KEY if you don’t get IOI’s such as laughing and engagement in your conversation YOU NEED TO EJECT!
Hopefully this helps some garner new material to sarge with, I’ll be back later with openers you can use in a public setting such as a grocery stores/movie stores etc.

After shaking her hand you can use the handshake cold read ive posted to engage in conversation WHILE keeping that time restraint of returning to your friends.
