feck's sake, no better or worse than what i said. This guy isn't you Phil, he needs to find his own individual style, which takes a little bit of practice and going out.

Its just an opener, a conversation starter and to be honest, its more for his benefit than hers. Not saying your opener is crap in anyway, just an arbitary way of starting a conversation.

My favourite "got a spare fag for 20p?". Try that Phil, won't work with you, because you're not me. I pull that shit off because I'm me. Another favourite of mine "who the fuck are you?". They all open, its all good.
