Eh..."Hello" usually isn't the best opener. If you see a girl every day/every week, it's good to make a point of saying "Hi" everytime you see her...but let's say you get in the elevator with a girl you've never seen before (and might not ever see again). You don't have much time (only till one of you gets out of the elevator). Instead of wasting time with "hello," which can only go so far (one person says hello, the other person responds and then you just stand around not talking), open with a witty comment about something you have just seen/heard together...or comment on her book/clothing/bag. Anything that can get a laugh, a smile, or a response longer than one word is good.
This applies for other stuff too. It doesn't have to be just an elevator discussion. If you're at one of those school basketball games and you see that girl you've had your eye on, go up to her and start talking about the game with her. Teasing her a little is fine too, as long as you're not bringing up touchy subjects. For example, if you tease her about liking the team that's going to lose, it might get a good natured laugh, smirk or jest. It could even turn into an opener for the next time you see her. However, if you tease her about being fat because she so obviously is not...you could just get an evil glare and lose all your chances with her.
Anyway...yeah...keep her talking. If you say something that leaves you both standing in an akward silence, change the subject. Hell, even if it was her that left you an an akward silence, she might be standing there thinking what an idiot she is. Change her mind by mentioning something else and showing her you're still interested.
Oh...and it's best to leave her when you're still rolling. If you're standing there for 30 seconds in an akward silence and then you're like "uhh....okay, I'm going to go now....", she won't be left with the best impression. If, on the other hand, you tell her you have to run while she's still laughing at a joke you made, her impression will be much better.
