Any tips/variation/improvements on this line?

Theres this beautiful female working at a pharmacy near me.

We have met once before so we know each others names but thats it.

I plan on going in and when we make eye contact im gonna smile give a small hearty laugh and say out loud "this is the first time I smiled at a drug dealer" and laugh.

Is it fine or should I say "you are the prettiest drug dealer ive ever seen"

Give some feedback or a C&F variation of this

it'll work depending on her personality, which we do not know so we won't be able to tell you

can she take a joke? is she really serious?

Both lines are AFC.

"this is the first time I smiled at a drug dealer"
"you are the prettiest drug dealer ive ever seen"

You're putting her on the pedestal. i.e. she's a special snowflake and gets a smile. You lower yourself and it comes across as desperate.

Don't compliment her, she's a hired gun and is paid to be nice to customers and that's why she's smiling.

If you want to open her go with something she hasn't heard before. e.g.

You: "Where do you hide your AK47?" (curious, serious, secretive look)
Her: "What??"
You: "Your gun, ya know... to protect your stash" (continue secretive / serious)
Her: She'll either give you a "you're insane look" or play along

There's your opener.... carry on.

The first thing you need to do is to "D" - Demonstrate value. Do this by forging a prescription for your sick grandmother, thus demonstrating your value as a loving grandson. The next steps involve engaging her physically, nurturing her dependence, neglecting her emotionally, inspiring hope, and then separating entirely. Here is a more detailed explanation of the entire process:

EDIT: Or the more simple way is to just go in and buy a box of magnum condoms, thus demonstrating you have a monster dong

I think that the first is better than the second.

My money is on the OP's opener if this fits.
You don't need to try have a style or perfect opener. As long as you are comfortable, genuine, positive, charming then it's all good.

I personally haven't used an "opener" in years.

I like to take my time with Hired Guns. I want them to display interest in ME before I invite them out for a drink.

I still maintain that the best approach is to smile, make strong eye contact, and say "hello." Good things usually start from there.

'hello' is an opener.

if you can carry a 'hello' off with a smile and nothing more then power to you.

i agree that a 'hello' and a smile is the best opener you can open with.

Good posts everyone.

She is a bit on the serious side and seems like doesnt laugh much, but she and I also know each other from before so it wont be a purely first interaction that I need to start with obly a hello.

So I figured saying something different would have broken the ice better I guess.

Still havent seen hed yet tho, going again in a while
