Guy Gets Blasted For Turning Down A Woman Asking For A Starbucks Coffee Date Because Of Petty And Ridiculous Reasons
"Starbucks? Yeah, I'm not sure this is going to work."
Some first-date plans fall apart before they even begin, and this one did it over a cup of coffee. A woman named Colleen thought she was setting up a simple Starbucks meet-up with a man she matched with online, but his reaction turned the whole exchange into a mess.
Instead of keeping things casual, the man, Matt, pushed back hard on the idea of meeting at Starbucks and made the conversation awkward fast. Colleen shared the screenshots online, and what should have been a basic dating story quickly became a debate about manners, expectations, and red flags.
Now the internet is weighing in on whether this was a harmless preference or a ridiculous reason to shut things down. Read on.
This is Colleen.
She posted her conversation with a man named Matt, whom she met on a dating app called Hinge. They exchanged phone numbers as they progressed their relationship outside of the app, and Colleen thought it would now be a good idea to meet up with him.
So she suggested they go to Starbucks since it's easy and convenient for both of them.

@Coll3enGHere's a screenshot of her trying to ask the guy.

But Matt did not take this well at all. He seemed offended by the fact that she suggested Starbucks and sent this message.
@Coll3enG
That reaction made the whole exchange feel even stranger.
That was definitely weird, no matter which perspective you look at it.
@Coll3enG
Matt then saw her viral tweet and didn't think twice about saying she was embarrassing.
@Coll3enG
Then the replies started rolling in.
Here's what people have to say in the replies:

What are your thoughts on Starbucks as a place for a first date? Have you ever encountered a similar situation with someone you matched with online?
Comment down your thoughts, or share this story for all your family and friends to see! May this serve as a reminder to avoid red flags as early as you can.
He probably made the whole thing harder than it needed to be.
