How would you approach a girl you've never met before?

Hey, Im anon! Ur really pretty /u seem like a nice person/ some generic lane and i would like to take u to have a coffee/dinner may i have ur DMN DIGITS

"Hi... I noticed (something about her that isn't a physical feature - like clothing, book she's reading etc.). You seem really cool. My name is (Anon) by the way - would you like to go for a coffee some time?"

Something along these lines. You could compliment her hair or eyes or tattoos or something, but imo that's too unoriginal unless you're actually saying something interesting beyond "I like your ____"

Basically, you need to come up with a convincing pretext for why you approached her that isn't 'You're hot and I'd like to fuck you.' Even better if the pretext is flattering, interesting or unconventional.

Of course, if you're a guy with supermodel looks you could just babble nonsense in her general direction and that would probably work fine

Is saying something cheesy like this acceptable?

"Hey, I know this sounds ridiculous but I needed to say hi to you. It would have nagged at me all day. My names anon, oh nice to meet you (redacted), where are you headed?" And then just blah blah wherever the conversation flows

Does cheesy work?

What if shes a cashier or work at a fastfood place? Is it okay to simply ask for her number without the pretext in this case? Like "I dont want to hold up the line for too long but could i get your number?"
