I don't think you need to worry. What you said wasn't cheesy or cliched. It was simply true. Not having a pickup line seems to me a big advantage. It's the cheeseballs who come around, all cocky and full of flattery, saying "Where have you been all my life, gorgeous?" who set off our warning systems. We immediately think, "Uh oh, this guy does this all the time. And he thinks that's gonna get him somewhere." I've been married a long time, but I still get hit on in bars and sometimes in restaurants, too. It amazes me how a wedding ring doesn't slow them down a bit. In some ways, I think it encourages them.
