I find the least creepy way is, "Hi. You're very attractive - are you seeing someone? Because I'd like to invite you for (coffee, tea, SEGA)." If he's clean, smiling, giving eye contact and otherwise not being completely socially inept, I'm not likely to be skeeved.
If he doesn't want to say "you're very attractive", mentioning the behaviour or quality that attracted his eye first also works ("I saw you talking to X, and I was wondering -", "You have the most amazing tattoo -", "I heard you expounding upon Plato -", et cetera).
