I was inside a club and I was standing in the line to go through the security check. There were a group of girls in front of me. A group of 3. There were to two security ports, so two lines.
The 3 girls were at the other line. 2 went through security but for some reason the 3th girl got delayed. She wanted to take my spot while she was standing in the other row, to catch up with her friends, then hesitated and pulled back.
I told her" if you want to go first that is ok with me."
She told me "no it is ok, it doesn't matter". She gave my a good 5 seconds eye contact and welcoming smile plus giggle. I think she wanted me to opener her but I was thinking about which opener I wanted to use. Before I knew it she was already gone to catch up with her friends.
Which opener could I have used here. The two generic openers: "you look like you are having fun" doesn't make sense using while standing in the line. Asking her "Are you from ..." didn't also make sense since she was obviously local. Which opener could I have used?
