| You are in the toughest phase of trying to develop a game, that uncomfortable beginning where you are not sure of what to do. You should just go do what ever you can until you don't feel this way. Develop a plan and attempt to execute that plan until that uncertainty ceases to exist.
I can list some things that can help you, but you should keep in mind that when beginning you should just think of what you want to communicate to a girl and how you would do that without tactic, just purely communicate your intentions to her. The more you try to memorize the more likely you will blank out when you finally do approach, get nervous because of the pressure and suddenly you will know nothing, remember nothing and manage to say nothing. Don't fall into that trap, just keep it as simple and pure as you can.
You can start with hi, go from there, see if she says hi back, try to read her, is she hesitant, is she uncomfortable, is she comfortable, is she happy, is she sad, is she upbeat, is she skeptical, etc. etc.
You can tell her why you came to talk to her (be honest), you can tell her you are not going to take too much of her time, you can introduce yourself, exchange names, try to rhyme her name with another word so you can remember it, if you are really nervous and cat has your tongue you should tell her that so it explains and justifies your body language
some regular shit tests you'll get on trying to approach would be
do you do this a lot? -no, but I had to do this for you
how many girls have you said that to so far? -just you, and I'd do it again
are you drunk? -no, I'm just nervous but had to talk to you
you can start by sharing logistics before you start a conversation, so for example, I live close by in XYZ place, are you from (insert your city here), you can make positive observations about her that assume positive things (is she a dancer, is she an actress, is she a buisness woman, is she spanish, is she irish, is she viet, is she a brazilian etc. etc.)
you can ask her about her schedule
before asking for information about logistics, give information about your own logistics to make her feel more comfortable about it, if she challenges you on why you want the information let her know that you plan to invite her out for a date and are trying to figure out how to plan it
you can continue and try to find out 5-10 things about her, things unrelated to her appearance, when you find anything that you mutually have interests in let her know you like that about her, after you have a general understanding of who she is on a very base level you should tell her you've decided that you'd like to get to know her better and want to take her out, repeat why, she's XYZ, she's pretty, she's YYZ
ex. well, you're friendly, you're cute, you work for a huge company so you're probably really smart and you like animals, you gotta let me take you out for a drink tonight if that works for you, I want to see you again but I have to go
then continue and either get your excuse or rejection or plan your date and grab her number to make it happen, continue this as long as you can push yourself until you have a few dates lined up
do your best to stay as calm as you can, answer honestly, attempt to be the one making the plans, driving the conversation topics and giving your input in a proactive way, you don't have to accomplish or achieve anything just keep in mind what your goal is and think of finding someone who suits your goal as a scavenger hunt
if you can stay relaxed and have an idea in your head that you want to see realized and are comfortable with shooting for that idea, your body language will reflect that, a calm guy with a charming smile and ease says a lot more about him then a sweating nervous wreck with shaky hands, it's just easier to trust a guy who seems sure of what he is saying while giving off a friendly, calm warm vibe
the object of a good opener, is to open a conversation, if one begins, your opener was a success
