This is a bit of a cliched question, but a lot of guys have their "go to" lines that work pretty well for them. So, how do you break the ice with someone like this...?

Some of the funnier ones I've come across:
"Just so you know what to scream... My name's X."
"Do you have a boyfriend?" (assuming she says yes...) "Well, when you want a man friend, come talk to me." If she says no, just ask if you can buy her a drink.
You: Can you take a sincere compliment? Her: Yeah. You: Me too. You first.
"Is it a coincidence that your blouse matches my bed spread?"
I haven't used any of those, but they'd probably get a laugh out of most girls, which is definitely not a bad foot to start off on. Generally, I just go direct by introducing myself and telling them I think they're cute. Introducing yourself is never a bad way to go, as long as you do it confidently and have something to follow up with. You could also just go straight in with whatever the follow-up is, whether it's situational, an opinion opener etc.

I still can't believe the 'I think you're cute' line works. I think your experience might be skewed by being pretty cute yourself. There's a difference between her thinking 'oh, a cute guy thinks I'm cute...' and 'yet another chump thinks I'm cute...'
I grant you that "cute" is a corny word to use, but I think the asker being "cute" or not himself doesn't matter half as much as the directness of his approach (good eye contact, voice tone etc.) Telling a girl in a non-validation-seeking way that you think she's attractive is likely to flatter her to some degree no matter whom it's coming from. IMHO.
I have a funny story: a friend told a girl in on a sidewalk: "Did you see that the end of the world is coming? because angels are walking on the street" and the girl told him "Hallelujah glory to God" (or something like this)

No shit actually got laid with this one:
You're so beautiful i could drink your bathwater.
Her reply was "I don't take baths, but you can lick the dregs off me in the shower"
That is possibly the worst line that has ever gotten me laid, the boys and i used to go out and play worst pickupline game and we found that on the whole, anything works (as long as its not a REAL generic line) and its just about how you say it and present yourself.
So i may not have gotten your virginity but can i have the box it came in?
Is that top in braille too? reach to grab her chest<I personally made this one, be careful
You must be black because you stole my heart
Does this rag smell like chloroform to you? (while putting a rag in her face)
Give her this really profound look and say "wow... you should see me naked"
How about you and i put the sex back into sexualy tramsmitted infection.
Suck your finger, then wipe it on her top, then wipe it on your top.... "....OK so lets go home and get out of these wet clothes!"
I bet can run faster horny than you can scared.
There were a few more terrible ones i cant think of right now, but these we used, with mostly warm welcomes. If you don't feel comfortable using these what I found when coaching was that guys would do better with their own lines.
For example: You see a girl in a yellow poker-dot dress, so what comes to mind straight away, lets say that straight away you think yellow dress-yellow coat- paddington bear. So now already you have a pickupline and a thread of conversation to work off.
You know when i saw your yellow dress it reminded me of a story i used to read when i was young pause, do you remember paddington bear? From this example you could have hit an emotional point in her mind (grandparents reading to her) otherwise you have a quirky topic to go off.
The point is, go out and even if you dont feel comfortable using them just yet, look at a girl for 2 seconds and give yourself 10 seconds to make up a line and thread :D

The easiest way to get a girl's attention and break the ice can often be as simple as making an observation/comment about the surroundings or (if you're astute enough) an item of her clothing. The opener itself becomes generally mundane after it is used, as most people will forget what you say long after how you said it.
The trick with any opener is to display confidence and intention. Calibrate based on the situation, and remember; eye contact, clear voice, confident body language, and smile.
Even asking the time can be used as a bridge to prompt further conversation and flirting. Say you're sitting at a table in the library and there's a cute girl nearby. Often the simplest of openers can have the most positive effects, providing you can carry on the conversation once the ice has been broken. Remember, character gets girls, not pick-up lines.

As I see it you have two basic options:
What you say doesn't really matter, and neither does her initial reaction. It's your reaction to her reaction that really matters, and this is where a lot of guys overthink it trying to be funny/witty/alpha. Just be cool and get to know her- it really is that simple.

I saw this one & just had to answer, LOL... At 21 I had enough confidence not to carry an ammunition belt full of pickup lines, I used only one:
"I sure would like to get into your britches".
That called for a simple yes or no answer, and you'd be surprised how many times it worked.
