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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 to my favorite coffee shop, ordered my usual, smiled at the barista I have a crush on, and confidently said, "You too!" when they told me to enjoy my drink. I have to find a new coffee shop. FML
Today, I emailed the guy I like to ask him on a coffee date. He responded, declining by telling me he never drinks coffee. We met at Starbucks. FML
Today, I tried to flirt with the cute barista by pretending to know a lot about coffee. I said, “I’ll take a macchiato, extra creamy.” He smiled and said, “That’s… not a thing.” I panicked and said, “Neither is my love life.” 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, a cute guy asked me out for coffee. I like him but didn't want it to be easy, so I said, "Coffee dates are for broke bums, aim a little higher." He said, "Aight I will, peace out" and walked off. 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

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. :)

The way people like comments on this is cancerous.

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.

Mm I'm not sure i agree - I think people would react the same way personally - (we may never know)

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

I think that was pretty suave on ur part. I woulda said yes just for originality. Screw that f***tard.

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!

So asking someone out is conceited now. Okay.
