Like say if you are in a super market, ask for help with whatever is in that aisle. As a general type question like "What do you think is the best pasta sauce? I'm cooking dinner for a date in a few hours and I'd really like to get something that has a tangy flavor. or something along those lines." That is a good ice breaker because they won't feel too threatened like you are trying to hit on them because you make mention that you have a date so you make them feel comfortable enough to talk to you without feeling like you might try to hit on them which as the conversation goes you CAN hit on them and try to get their number by saying they give great advice or something and you'd like to contact them in the future.

This might work for you but I would never do this. Girls aren't dumb. They can see right through stuff like this. No girl is going to think some random guy is looking for a pasta sauce advisor in the grocery store. You might as well just ask her if she wants to try your alfredo sauce; it would have the same meaning behind it. There's no need to try to trick her or lie. They know what you're trying to do.

Which brings me to the next point: NEVER tell a girl you have a date or are in a relationship, etc. She could lose interest if she had any, or she'll see through it and think it's an immature way to try to pick up a girl. Chances are you won't be able to make such an impression on a girl you just met that you make her jealous enough about a date that she thinks it's worth her trouble to pursue any kind of interest she has in you.

Just be upfront. Well, not upfront as in "YOU PRETTY! CAN I HAVE YOUR NUMBER???", but don't try to hide any attraction. Again, they know why you chose to talk to them. Always good to ease in with some kind of witty remark (what that is depends on the situation... or how witty you are), and then just straight up flirt, which is the easiest thing in the world to do if you are confident. Humour, charm, confidence. Can't go wrong.

VERY broad advice, but alot of it is just comes down to spontaneity. I know this won't apply to people that are of a certain personality type, but it's what works for me.
