I have to say...
I sort of stumbled onto something recently where I'll close girls with, "I like you. I like that you're X. I like how you Y. You're cool. You make me smile. I don't want to be your boyfriend, but I want to take you home with me tonight."
I pulled 3 nights in a row with this.
After analyzing it later, I remembered this post and realized that I'm basically disarming 2 of the objections Vin mentions here. Possibility of a relationship implied by the things I like about her, what makes her "special." "I don't want to be your boyfriend" might appear to take it away, but I think more likely disarms the objection that you'll get nutty and stalk her, thus disarming the other objection. Either way, it works and it works well with my pretty direct style. YMMV.
Just wanted to share this, and thank Vin for his original post.
