<p>drew- congrats on deciding to quit. It's hard as hell since I've failed at it many times but I'm making progress (cut back from a pack a day to 4-8 a day, depending on how i feel.) What are you supplementing cigarettes with? </p>
<p>I don't think Cigarettes really have much of a physical addiction but are very psychologically addictive. Smokers tend to create routines (smoking after meals, while drinking, with coffee, after sex, after taking a huge dump) and those routines are very, very hard to break. </p>
<p>as for sitting down and saying hi- Only do it if you're sure the other person isn't busy.</p>
<p>when i go to coffeshops i usually don't go alone, unless i'm working on something, so i think if someone did this i'd be more annoyed than anything...</p>
<p>my best advice is dont come up with contrived little schemes, it's corny and makes you look desperate...most of the guys on here seem to be kind of like me-cerebral, somewhat introverted, etc. so I understand why it's hard not to overthink things...</p>
<p>just one little anecdote prove my point, my friend picked up a girl at a coffee shop (a local hang-out spot, not a fast-moving Starbucks) just by talking nonchalantly about music and such. She liked his geninue attitiude and his taste in music/books. This girl was drop-dead gorgeous and my friend was kind of dorky looking. A week after they met, my friend called me at work to brag that the chick deep throated him and tossed his salad!</p>
<p>unless she is a whore, most girls dont deep throat guys they just meet but whatever.</p>
<p>i would sit with a girl if she wasnt busy and didnt look like she was waiting for some one. ex - looking around, not drinking her coffee. ask if you can sit there, and start with your name and ask what she ordered.</p>
<p>it doesnt hurt to meet new ppl, and especially in college for me i see the same people around campus (at my school with 30k+ people) so odds are id see her again.</p>
