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."
Technology makes it easy to meet people, but have you noticed that it doesn't actually help transform the experience of meeting them? Tinder, Facebook, and online dating sites can all increase your opportunities for finding a partner, but for many, they just make it harder to find someone you like.
In the old days, you either asked someone out on a date or you didn't. Then you met in person and went to one of two places for coffee or a movie, and you could say whatever you wanted because you hadn't really gotten off on the wrong foot yet.
However, one of the biggest cons of online dating is a phenomenon called ghosting. You'd be amazed at how many people have been through a ghosting experience. If we're talking about a few dates, it's not even that big of a deal, but if you're discussing something more serious, it can be soul-crushing.
But for a certain woman, the issue is more than just ghosting—her supposed "date" ditched her because she suggested a coffee catch-up at everyone's classic favorite: Starbucks. To her surprise, the man she matched with was disgusted at the thought of having their date at that coffee shop.
Well, she posted their conversation for the internet to see, and the situation stirred up a whole lot of controversial discussions on Twitter.
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 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.
