Just tell her you thought she was cute so, you made up some shit as an excuse to talk to her.

She'll probably think its sweet, actually.

Don't do it as if you're apologising. If she gives you any grief about it; give her a cheeky smile and say she knew it was bullshit too, she just wanted to talk to you.


And there is nothing wrong with using a line to open. You just have to make them your own.
