I don't have much experience opening, but I've found that a "hi" or "whats up" followed with "I'm so and so" with my hand extended works. Then I go right into rapport building and light kino. I get warm responses with this no-frills approach. But this could be due to other factors...

I'm tall
I'm fit
I dress well

If the girls are sitting on a couch, I'll sit down right beside the one on the end because towering over them is awkward. I open the girl directly beside me and often she'll introduce her friend(s) to me. I got off on the wrong foot with all this seduction stuff by using cocky and funny.

If you are good looking and well dressed it definitely greases the skids of the approach.

As for cocky/funny it has to be calibrated.
This is how i do it:

Girl rates lower than me: confident, friendly, funny, slight flashes of cockiness, never neg. These girls want you to like them and their egos are easily bruised
Girls rates even with me: standard cocky and funny, only lightly neg if she has an attitude
Girl ranks higher than me- more cocky, less funny, neg or two
