Compliment for approaching hb8+?

I saw a rare hb9 in my approaching city today and almost felt like it was a trap.

The hb9 was looking in the shop reflections to presumably check herself out which made me doubly nervous.

I then saw the hb9 standing around suspiciously outside a weatherspoon's pub.

I could tell the hb9 was definitely a 20 something, so there was no age based approach anxiety.

Nope, just plain old approach anxiety. I could tell going up to hef and telling her she looked great wasn't going to cut it.

So then I thought what if I just ask her to hang out without complimenting her? To let her know I am not just impressed with her being an hb9?

But that may not work because I am average.

So what do I even say to an hb9 or 8 to approach them with?

Well, I had this scenario again on the campus. Buy this time, she looked young as well. Like, borderline legal, but she was on the campus, so must have been at least 18.

I wouldn't have approached her in the high street, let's put it that way.

It was a classic scenario of my conditioned mind coming up with excuses. Like "she is too pretty, too young, what would we have in common, what would people think, etc, etc".

She was also in a two set with her less attractive friend and I always feel like I don't want to boost up the more classically pretty one with a compliment in front of her more plain friend.

She had a slim figure with narrow hips. I think the narrowness of her hips put me off a bit and set off my "underaged warning" alarm because you see a lot of teens with those weird narrow hips. But her face was pretty, but from behind, I couldn't verify her age for a committed front stop.

I worried that what if they are just teenaged girls passing through an open campus.

I almost did the run up, but then when I saw her face, I got the classic "she's underaged" fear that I get so I pretended to jog past instead.

She was none the wiser and they were walking towards a quieter area of the campus as well so it wasn't the easiest.

I know I should do the approach for the sake of the rep but these younger girls I really struggle with.

Take it as female pAImAI and tease her for checking herself out. She laughs, hopefully. Then follow up with, "oh actually, you are super pretty, I might as well say hi" and go into whatever you normally do on an approach.

I was out on daygame yesterday and still struggle with this. Saw an hb9 in the high street moving fast and got in my head. Is "Hi, you look amazing" really a good opener? I am sure she knows that.

What kind of non appearance based opener can I use which is congruent with stopping someone in the street?

It's not about whether she KNOWS it. It's about getting yourself to talk to her and making her feel good (ideally). Doesn't always work, but the only way to learn is to try it.

That said, a better opener than "You look amazing" would be "I like your XYZ" (whatever you like about her).
