It was some years ago when I lived in UK. A guy approached me when I was sitting on a bench and having a cigarette and asked me if I have a spare fag. I gave him a one and he started some rumble about weather and about Polish people in England. So far he seemed to be just a friendly guy. Anyway at some point he looked at me and said:” I bought new shades today ( he was wearing a black sunglasses) How do you like them?” He moves his sunglasses and looked deep into my eyes.

At this point it was obvious to me that he is a gay hitting on me so I said: “yeah, they are fine” and I left.

Now I think it could be a line to pick up girls. For example I could ask for direction and then use this routine with sunglasses. If a girl says “ they are ok” and walks away she is plainly not interested to talk to me whatever I would say ( like i wasn't there and then with a gay guy).

On the other hand if she stays I can go further then.

I think its good transition from a opener to more personal conversation. It makes obvious that I am here not only to ask her for direction buts it’s still more smooth than suddenly going full direct which is too much pressure.

Any suggestions?

Might work, but I've always found sunglasses to be a barrier to social contact, maybe have them hanging off your shirt? I guess you could get kino by getting her to try them on.
