The next time this happens - which it will - have it pre-planned that you need to get to, "Hi." or "Hi, my name's ____, what's yours?" That's it. Keep it simple, and see what happens once you just initiate conversation (if you have to, perhaps she'll do it, who knows). I've seen Shannon say many times that what once held him back was thinking he had to go from A-Z in one step, rather than hitting B,C,D,E(tc) along the way. Don't make it a big thing, take the big expectations off of your shoulders. It's holding you back. Take the small steps first.
