How do you pick up a girl on the elevator smoothly?

I'm 26 and just moved to a new high-rise apartment with tons of young cute and sexy women coming constantly in and out of the building, - its college 2.0. As such, I'm continuously running into attractive women on the elevator, but there always seems to be a time constraint to get their number or try and move them to hangout then and there. By the time I get the girls name, the elevator's already at her floor. I hate to want to wait until I see the girl again around the complex to deep dive her and make a connect to move things forward. I always feel like its a race against time.

Any advice how to do this smoothly? Would it be too weird if I played it off like we live on the same floor, then tell her where I actually live (if we end up hanging out)? I figured to just be direct with an opener so she knows my aim right off the bat.

Take my advice with a grain of salt since I don't have a track record of success, but it seems like you have the ability to smoothly open a woman in the elevator, which I thought that they generally feel more guarded in it since there's no escape route. So if you're talking to a woman while it is going up/down, I think you should keep track of what floor she is going to and when it approaches that floor, make sure one of you are talking still, and lead her out (Leading her out I think would demonstrate a stronger frame than following her out, just think about it) communicating nonverbally that you were going on that floor too like it's the natural thing. If she explicitly asks you if you live on this floor or w/e, maybe just briefly say you enjoy her presence and keep talking about what you were talking about.

Edit: I reread your post and you have a sense of urgency, which is completely unnecessary as long as you lead her out on the same floor. It's probably more appropriate to set up a date and then get her number (I flop on the order of this a lot unfortunately) then skillfully close and once you're at the date then deep dive her and all that rather than trying to deep dive her right then and there.

raysidney,

Try this. Keep the conversation going when you get to her floor. Hold the door open and keep talking. After about 10 seconds say I better let the elevator go and step out. You will look like you are being courteous to others who might need the elevator. You won't look like you are following her but that you just wanted to continue the conversation. Then naturally continue the conversation. By holding the door it tells her you don't live on her floor. Hopefully she will ask you what floor you live on. This would be equal to a girl asking where you live and show interest of coming to your place.
