I never really liked the "So, are you from XXXX" line. You more often than not get it wrong. A simple "Hey, I'm FVTT" has worked just about every time. Be loud, have a deep voice, and she will notice you and it will work. It has yet to fail for me. Then, quickly jump in with something else to get the conversation going. No need to make sweeping racial assumptions.
Hey man,
I opened around 30 sets with this exact line and a few more with a slight variation ("Hi, what's your name?") and in most cases it worked well to get the woman's attention. Thank you! When I don't have a spontaneous thought, this can now be my default during a nighttime/warm approach. I should note that since I focus mostly on cold-approach daygame, my thought is that your approach may not be as effective during the day; however, I will experiment with it starting tomorrow.
