Sounds like a bad cliché, but we were both studying for physics finals and I was actually headed to the cafeteria next door. So sometimes coffee is really just coffee. I'm just saying that compliments are not the only thing to break the ice. It's not obvious that flattery is the way to go at all to find someone you like and vice versa.
I'd rather be plain-spoken than ingratiating.
