I think your opener is fine. Immediatly, you have singled her out from the crowd, established dominance, and made her aware of your presence. Most opinion openers can't accomplish these three things, rarely can you isolate so quickly. But the pressure does not lie in the opener, but what comes next. Atraction is not built in the opener, but what comes next. Thinking too much about what you should say or do to begin is hardly as important as getting her interacting with you. Once you have attention, then you will see if you can get attration and so on. The opener is fine. No one ever died from an insult.
I think were missing the point of an opener here. An opener is just to open a conversation. Not to display value, create attraction, show active disinterest, just to open. So on the one hand this probably isnt the best way to start talking to someone as their first impression is going to be them insulting you, but then again even if she replies with "what did you just say to me" the conversation is opened and therefor the opener has worked. But like i said this probably isnt the best way to start a conversation but hey if you can recover from this and turn a sour interation into a fun one then well played i admire you. A bad conversation turned good is better than no conversation at all
