Today, I'm a barista at Starbucks. When my crush walked in and asked how much his coffee would cost, I said a date. He said he'd rather pay for the coffee. FML

Today, I went on an a date with a guy I met online. We were waiting in line at Starbucks when he turned to me and said, "Do you want anything?" Just before I was about to answer, he practically shoved in front of me and paid for himself. The cashier looked more horrified than I did. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to ask my crush out for coffee after work. She agreed and I confidently said, "Alright, it's a date!" She replied, "Haha, a date with you? I'm just going for the free coffee!" FML

Today, I was getting coffee with my aunt, and she asked me to pay. She then turned to the Barista and said, "He's never had a girlfriend before, and I wanted to show him that they take your money." The Barista laughed so hard she had to excuse herself. FML

Today, I went out for coffee with my sister and my crush. I spent the majority of the date flirting with my crush, and when he dropped us off at home, I told him I had fun on our date. He looked at me surprised and said he'd thought I'd tagged along on his date with my sister. FML

Today, I went on a coffee date with the man I've been in love with for a while. Before I knew what was going on, he'd started chatting up a pretty girl sitting nearby. I had to drink my coffee alone while he got her number. FML

Today, I went with my dad to Starbucks. There is this really cute guy who works there and he kept looking over at me, so I went over to say hi. He ended up asking if my dad was single. FML

Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML

Today, I went to a coffee shop with my friend. The guy rang her up and said it was only a dollar as he winked at her $10 purchase. Then he rang me up at completely full price. She got his number and I got to be the ugly friend once again. FML

Today, I thought I was being smooth by using a pickup line on a cute barista. I confidently said, "Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears." She replied, "Actually, I'm a barista, and everyone else is waiting for their coffee. Next!" FML

He might be trying to be polite or have other important things or maybe even has a girl.

Or maybe didn't want to?

At least you tried! Now you won't have to live with that "what if," for the rest of your life. Time to move on to clearer waters and fish for a different fish. :)

Funny, if a guy used this line on a girl no one would sympathize if the girl responded this way.

This is exactly why I pressed YDI. Gender shouldn't make a difference in situations like this.

Today, I was just trying to buy coffee, when the barista who has a crush on me said my coffee would be free if I went on a date with her. I said I'd rather just pay for my coffee. Now I can never go back there. That Starbucks is right near my house. FML

Why is he a fucktard? Because he's not interested? The man just wanted a coffee. Leave him alone.

isn't that a bit conceited of you to assume he's interested? going all in and directly asking as you did always holds the risk of rejection..you live you learn, just don't give up trying..not with that guy, since he's clearly not into you, but I'm sure you'll find someone suitable!
