Eh weather still works alright for me. Most often is not what you say but how you say it as well. Tone of voice and body language plays far bigger roll than the topic itself.
Weather question is outdated, and tacky. I can look outside and see the weather.
Either a simple "Hi, how are you?"
Or see if you can notice something about her that catches our interest. (Book, a specific article of clothing, etc)
Funny story. I had this happen to me a while ago. Was super tired after a long day and was waiting in a que to buy some food. Cute girl standing beside me starts talking about my shoes, I just answer with one word answers wondering why the hell she's trying to have a really boring conversation about my god damned shoes (just a pair of tigers).
So anyway, I go home and fall asleep straight away, wake up, go for a shower and halfway through just massive facepalm and curse my stupidity because with the benefit of hindsight i remember the whole weird conversation and she was definitely trying to get talking with me. Even asked if I wanted to eat my sandwich with her after we'd ordered but I just said no and bailed from the odd shoe lady. Probably coming across as a total a*shole.
tldr: Girls suck because the few times they make it easy for you you're practically in a coma of exhaustion.
I think he already did that a few times, like I did
Definitely. But at the time I was just so confused, and wondering what the hell was her problem. Like I said, was mega tired due to my condition, after I'd gone home I slept for a solid 14+ hours.
So stuttering when talking alone won't help right? Lol
You can get away with it. I stutter a lot in normal conversation. I've had a bunch of concussions, and after one of them I'll sometimes get stuck on sentences or i'll forget what I was going to say entirely mid sentence.

Every, single, time.
I look fairly old for my age, the other day at work some girl hits on me and I'm like hey fair enough, then I ask to see ID for the alcohol she's buying and she's 25 I was too confused to carry on so I just reverted to 1 word monotonous answers.
That's what I'm talking about. Just start a conversation. Anything.....just say anything (as long as it's not morbidly retarded). Some words spoken are better than none.
In other words, how are you going to win the lottery, if you never play?
"Hey! What do you think of assisted suicide? I personally think it's great!"
Not to flog a dead horse but I think it doesn't matter what you say (to an extent), if they found you attractive on first impression. It's all about showing respect and not being clingy/needy. Need to be confident in your own person. Do things that are funny cos you think it's funny, not to try show off etc.
If you arnt yourself you might get a short fling out of it but you won't be happy in the long run.
My 2c haha
Edit: that doesn't guarantee not just being friends cos people look for different things in friends and partners. A night out with the lads is a lot different to a night with your girl for example.
