Girls rarely open anyone, even now, they only ever open me with "can I get a light" or "do you have an extra cigarette". If there isn't something completely innocuous and indirect they'll just stand in proximity. You should have opened her. There isn't anything I can say on here that will increase your propensity towards opening the girls you want. The only thing you can do is open a lot of girls. It gets easier.
The first time I did a day time approach I was scared out of my mind. I could hardly hear her over the sound of my heart beating. Six months later I opened a really cute girl in a silent waiting room with a bunch of people watching me.
The only way to get better is to just do it. A lot.
And yes, you should have just said anything. Even if the conversation died out after thirty seconds you would have done it and probably felt great the rest of the day. And you would be more likely to open the next cute girl that you saw. Not to mention, if she was really smiling that much she probably would have helped you along quite a bit.
