I'm doing fine with girls I know, and friends of friends. I've also gotten better with my AA, but I feel I could get rid of it completely if I could try a few random approaches. I'm not looking to get any numbers (but that would be nice), I just want to find a basic method for myself to talk to someone at the beach/mall/ etc that I can build off of and make my own.

If it makes any difference, I'm 17.
