Depends on the circumstances, my friend. Let's say a tavern? I'd nod at her first to get her attention and see if she's interested in a chat at all. A nod back or a smile is usually a good tell.
[ He has to take down his usual flair a bit to make this more usable for Prom rather than just sliding in from the side and asking if they want their fortune read. ]
Then I'd just walk up to her, say hi, tell my name, ask hers, ask if she's a regular around here and just find a topic that interests us both. Same as anyone else I'd chat with.
Oh man, a tavern? That sounds so old-timey. Sometimes other worlds sound like they're straight out of a comic book.
That... doesn't sound so hard. [Okay, maybe he wouldn't be able to meet someone's eyes well enough to do a lot of signaling with facial expressions, but he could probably say 'hi' and remember his name. Now just watch him try it with Beau.] Oh, that reminds me! I met a girl on Mu that looked kinda like you, and she knew who you were. Did you see her?
[And maybe a little unintentionally racist. He'd only seen two people of Molly's race, so they had a lot of similarities to him.]
[ He's still not sure about this timeline/other world thing. A tavern was a tavern, right?
...oh, Molly's definitely gonna enjoy putting Beau and Prom together. Stirring some wank in this boring place just seemed like a great idea, and would teach the guy some stuff about women.

Yeah. I saw her, too. She's a wonderful woman, and I've missed her.
[ A little racist, but not impossible. (Unlike Nott's idea that all firbolgs had to know each other.) ]

[He hadn't really thought about what she was doing, he was more wondering what he did wrong.]
Okay, so, like, if you were going to say 'hi' to a girl you don't know, what would you say?
