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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

The coffee is probably cheaper . Next write your number on the cup like in the movies

I mean...20$ for movie tickets, 30$+ for dinner. The coffee was definitely the cheaper option

So I was on the moderation part of FML and just voted yes for an FML that said the exact opposite of this story lol

Meanwhile - I got fired from McDonald's for something like this.... they considered it solicitation... so kinda good he rejected your offer and you didn't give him free coffee.

Honestly I think you were inappropriate. If it were a guy barista doing that to a girl it would be considered creepy. Lucky you didn't get written up or fired.

Not necessarily. That's how two of my best friends went on their first date :) They've been married for like 8 years now.

Try not sexually harassing him next time :)

I can see it being annoying but sexual harassment? Really? You could only say that if OP was asking him every day.

OP didn't grab his butt, they asked him out. How did you get from "Date maybe?" to lewd and unsolicited comments/gestures/touches?

Asking someone out is an unwelcome sexual advance, and is hence sexual harassment when it occurs in the workplace. There's a time and a place to test someone's interest, the workplace (yours or theirs) is not it.

Well, you can't succeed unless you try. Better luck next time OP

OP doesn't need to be a girl (so don't say woman empowerment) and if she was, it's not really empowering, women can ask a guy out its 2016. Also, the guy did not handle the situation right, maybe he got caught of guard or just isn't interested, both ways I'm sorry the rejection was brutal, just stay confident.

Except for the marker near OP's name. The whole "woman" marker suggests that OP is a girl

He handled it correctly. She was unprofessional. A job isn't a night club.
