<p>dont laugh, but one of a best places to meet is in the elevator (im serious.) Why? Because most likely she lives in your building, and she'll be riding the elevator more than once this year. Which means you'll be bumping into her more than once in the elevator. Then you can be like "hey! didn't we meet before?"</p>
<p>lol @ liveNitup, but it makes sense.
never tried it b4 though. isn't it kind of awkward? people are supposed to be quiet...lol</p>
<p>Xe<em>Ln</em>Ag_A: "people are supposed to be quiet"</p>
<p>Nah, unless your elevator doubles as a study room lol. I love it whenever we have like 10 people in an elevator and its all quiet and then all of a sudden someone starts up a random conversation. And then all of us start talking and we get to know each other. Its awsome.</p>
<p>buy the girl a drink then go introduce yourself. I'd never do it myself, I just know people who have done it. It usually works; unless that person is dating/married/waiting for a date....</p>
<p>Generally if I'm at a coffee shop or something by myself it's because I wasn't in the mood to hang out with a bunch of people. Of course this isn't the case with all girls, but I get annoyed when a guy just strikes up a conversation with me and I have to make idle chit chat or something. So unless she's giving you a serious come hither look, I'd stay put. Bars are a better place to pick up girls I think, cause I know that when girls hit a bar, (my friends and I anyway) they're generally up for meeting new guys.</p>
<p>The best way is (if she's a smoker) go up and ask for a light.</p>
<p>just meet ppl in your classes. if you like a girl, time it so you walk to the door at the same time and make a comment like "dang, how do you feel you did on that test?" ETC...</p>
<p>smith415 - lol, reminds me of the highschool days haha</p>
<p>Um, I can see that being a little bit weird, especially at a coffeeshop. Let a girl enjoy her coffee! Men...</p>
<p>Drew- </p>
<p>That is so cliche! Do people actually do that these days? I think smoking is quite unattractive.</p>
<p>if it's so unattractive, why do so many people still smoke? They must think ther's sometihng good about it.</p>
<p>It's called nicotine. It's addictive, and sometimes it only takes one time.</p>
<p>That's fine to ask for a light if she's smoking. But chances are she wouldn't be because of all the smoking rules and stuff. If she's outside though, sipping on her cappucino alone, and having a cigarette, go for it. I barely smoke (maybe once a month while drinking), and I met a guy that way by just asking to bum a cig, even though I normally wouldn't have smoked randomly in the middle of the day.</p>
<p>Come on now, some of you are just antisocial, and are making up excuses for not saying hi to strangers. </p>
<p>See her, say hi and smile, and if she responds well, continue.</p>
<p>Yes, just say hi. You aren't professing love or anything like that.</p>

<p>I meant, why do people start someking if it's so unattractive. i.e those who have never smoked who smoke for the first time. And I know it's addictive!!</p>

<p>My school has no smoking rules, so I bum off of good-looking friendly girls allt he time.</p>

<p>First of all, the (physical) addiction isn't that bad. The hard part is the oral fixation. Second of all, smoking is incredibly relaxing and tastes very good. With that being said, I actually quit a few days ago</p>
<p>It tastes good for the addict, but the first few times it isn't that good.</p>
<p>We do like talking to strangers. It's just uncourteous to sit at someone's table unless there's a reason to, like if there's no other seats available or if it's a causual acquaintance that you saw before. In college, I see people sitting by themselves all the time because everyone has their own agenda and schedule. No one likes an overfriendly person with too much time on their hands either. And if you're only talking to a stranger because she's a girl, how is your motive not just wanting to pick up on her?</p>
<p>"It tastes good for the addict, but the first few times it isn't that good."</p>
<p>Um, I take it you've never smoked. It tastes good to almost everyone their first few times.</p>
