LOL....I've never been able to do that, Jean. Never. Too shy. Never could get the right words out 
I would hope that women wouldn't get offended by the interest a man would show in these instances, though.
Because the intention is not to be offensive. It's to get to know the woman better.

You? The Queens Casanova? The Prince of Pickups? The Heartbreaker? I thought you'd be the absolute master of choosing the right words.

"just hitting on" girls [or guys, or whoever] is a numbers game.
See a girl you think is pretty or is engaged in an interesting activity?
Walk up and ask if you can take her out sometime.
"I really like watching the sunlight reflect off your hair. Can I take you on a picnic this weekend?"
"I see you're reading The Lost Girls. Can I buy you a coffee at that Starbucks so we can discuss Alan Moore?"
The secret is anticipating failure.
Because the whole endeavor took sixty seconds, you're not really invested in the outcome - and you didn't friendzone yourself. It's also efficient.
You might not ever get "comfortable" walking up to a girl to hit on her, but you will hone your technique through meatspace experience - and that's how you'll find what really works for you, because you're an individual and some things will work for you and some won't.
You will also likely develop a bit of a thick skin because you will be experiencing "casual" rejection [versus when you put more time into a girl before trying to take it to the next level] and the fact that it's not stinging as bad should make the whole ordeal a bit less intimidating.
Doesn't work for everybody... but if you wanna do something different, it may be worth a try.

Unless you have male model good looks that approach is going to fail 99% of the time. With model looks it will probably only fail 50% of the time.
Girls just aren't going to agree to dates with random strangers.
Yes, but you have to love a world where Alan Moore's "Lost Girls" can become part of a pickup line!

No girl will go out with somebody who refers to real life as "Meatspace."
