I'm at the bar tonight and i see an HB9 who looks exactly like my old friend sarah, who i used to work with a few years ago and i had a big crush on. Thinking it was her, i approached her and said "sarah?". she looked confused and i realized it wasnt my friend so i said "oh i'm sorry, you look exactly like my friend sarah." she smiled and i introduced myself. we small talked for a little bit and shortly after, her boyfriend came rushing up so no go on this one but i was thinking this might be an effective opener if tweaked to use on someone else.

if done right, do you think this could be an effective opener?
