I will intertwine my questions, between what I’ve already put together:

1) The best opener is a simple introduction. It’s more important you hold a good frame and come off as confident, charismatic. 2) You need to let it be known why you’re talking to her. (This where I run into trouble. How to limit/avoid validation? How to balance direct and indirect?) 3) You want to have a bit of convo so as to also get some banter, rapport, teasing (disqualifying and qualifying) in. 4) I’m fine with closing. Just look for high interest and ask for number. - My last problem is more of an issue with frame. I’m not sure if I should smile or not upon opening. Holding frame gives me value, but do I then remove comfort?

As you can see, my questions lie within #2 and the final bullet point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
