interesting point...


....if you dont smoke, like myself, following a girl to the smoking area is deffo needy in appearance!

i think you had a good opportunity to neg. however, a neg is a backhanded compliment, so you have to make it mildly inulting-with a bit of fun int here too... yours was veyr strong, very direct!

i would have said... 'ooh you smoke? you know, smokers are jokers! your a joker now, i dont think i can take u seriously y'know!' said with a smile, maybe a breif sticking-out of the tongue, then smile and say, you'll see her in a bit...

Or if you really want to go out, just say that you dont smoke but its hot in the bar and u wana go outside for some fresh air!

Simples...
