Let's share some of our best openers and why you think it's good. Specific, not type. For example, if you have a particularly brilliant opinion opener, don't just say "opinion opener", tell us exactly what it is.
My first contribution to the thread:
First, find something unique about the target. Say she's the only woman in the place wearing a red sweater.
"Hi there. I just had to come up and tell you that I think you are the most beautiful woman in here..."
(slight pause - juuuust long enough for her to start thinking you're done but not long enough for her to jam in a reply)
"...wearing a red sweater."
I like this one a lot because it starts out as a compliment (good), but sounds cheesy and lame (bad), and then turns into a slight neg (because if she's the only one with a red sweater on, then it's not really a compliment after all) with a humorous teasing twist.
