what does this sentence mean
I once encounter the following piece of text
If you open with a line like "I must be a snowflake because I've fallen for you," and she looks at you like you just popped out of a UFO, try saying, "I'm sorry. You're so beautiful that I forgot my good line and had to go to my backup." She might find that funny and start flirting back with you.
My question is- what does "I forgot my good line and had to go to my backup " mean?
what is good line and what does it mean by going to my backup?

So, what is the "funny" point of this sentence? I don't understand. Is it a kind of American humour?

He’s not serious, of course. He didn’t actually forget his good line because she was so beautiful; it’s another pick-up line. The snowflake line was just bad, so he’s trying again with this witt
