how are you opening at the moment

I'd usually still only say something along the lines of 'Hi, what's your name' or 'how you doing' and sometimes if I get far enough into finding out where they're from I'd do a cringe or a cross with my fingers in their face and the following 10 - 20sec would be as follows:
me: where are you from
her: the land of the fairies
me: ough *do a cross by putting the index fingers on each hand to make an X so she sees'
her: what's wrong with ...?
me: Mummy told me not to talk to girls from there
her: why
me: you wouldn't wanna know
OR
me: she said they were naughty!
I tried negging openers a few times but girls take it very offensively! LOL I kind of see why if done badly
Me: HEY, I LIKE YOUR DRESS!
her: AWW, THANKS (or anything else along the lines of thanks)
me: I THINK MY GRANDMA HAS 1
there was even times when I changed grandma for sister and they still didn't appreciate it.

I think far too much attention is paid to openers, it's not as if they are the make or break as to whether you pull the girl or not

To me the opener is probably most important basics, followed by the peacocking used to help it because if done right, it sets you up for the next few minutes. Especially if you go to the sort of place where its visible that girls have been trying to make them selves look pretty infront of a mirror for 1hour before coming out. They will probably get 2 attempts at approaching them within a song, just some attempts are more visible than the creepy 1s of the guys dancing next to them trying to 'accidentally' shoulder barge them or 'accidentally/ sneakily' girnd on them to get their attention (god I remember those awkward days... when I'd transfer creepy guy feeling to them).
Anyway... I think the point of a good opener is so that within the 1st 20seconds, she'd see you're different from the last 6 creepy guys who all looked the same, were all too drunk, said same thing and probably showed their nervousness or neediness in body language too soon + too forward.
The objective of being different is why I try to take control of the situation:
If she tries to kiss me, I'd stand up tall, take about a foot back and give her a cheeky smile. Then once she looks at me I'd gently stroke her behind the ear or just pull her chin towards me.
Other ways I try to keep control is to not let her get carried away with getting all the attention like every other guy would on another night. Every now and then take a few steps back, make it look like I'm more interested in an object behind her or keeping a cheeky eye out for my friends
anyway... Tomorrow is an opening night for one of the clubs here in newcastle and I'm giving it a visit so if any1 has any advice of what to add or what to stop doing. Please tell me.
oh and I'm revising for uni exams which start on monday so I'm being forced into sober evenings out and less frequent visits to this forum!
