Does Day Game count? Here's one I've been using quite a bit recently, which has garnered mixed results.
PUA: Excuse me. Hey there, now I'm usually good with picking this (stall for a while, possible leaning back and subtlely pointing while smiling)... are you a tourist, visiting from another country?
HB: Yes (usually half the battle is already won).
HB: No (well, at least you've opened in a fun way).
Then you can easily transition into travel, geography and family related threads.
I am conflicted about this opener. I like the tourist semi-neg and the little spike saying "I am usually good at this".... but what is the motivation for saying it? I can't see any way that this would pass as spontaneous. That being said it has a lot of interesting directions for conversation....
Interesting.
