But it wasn't his fault. He doesn't read noboo. He hadn't heard the coffee lecture a billion and one times. He hadn't been hassled over and over again about how saying "I don't drink coffee" is a courtship discourager and not a flirtation encourager.
And it was a shame. Because he wanted this girl pretty bad. Or badly. I never get those right. Or correct.
She let it go.
Kind of.
She let it go with respect to him.
And then she called me to vent. Or to venti, I suppose.
"Why do people still do that?
I can't give the answer here. The answer shows the real me. And I still maintain the completely ridiculous and blind self-delusion that my three loyal readers haven't figured out what a ^%$# ^%$#@ I am.
No, really.
So anyway, let's just do a quick review. A brief hypothetical.
A hot babe asks if you'd like to go for coffee. You'd like to go with the hot babe. But you're not a coffee fan.
What's the answer?
YES!
The answer is ALWAYS YES, you freakin' mutant!
The answer is ALWAYS YES.
Anyone trying to advance their position - like a person in sales, for instance - knows to just say yes, say yes, say yes. And figure out the logistics, details and specifics afterwards.
So, you just say yes, damn it. No thinking. Just say yes.
And then you get to a coffee shop with your hot babe with whom you're trying to advance, let's say.
And let's just say that coffee shop is Starbucks.
You can enjoy a simple non-coffee drink like an orange, apple or grapefruit juice. Or you could enjoy a peach iced tea, a regular iced tea, a Chai Tea a Chai Tea Latte or a Chai Lemonade.
Of course you could always enjoy a water.
If you wanted something a bit more decadent to go with - or perhaps on - your hot babe, you could go for the Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino® Blended Crème which is rich chocolate, chocolate chips and milk blended with ice, topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
Not being a chocolate person, particularly, the thought makes me gag a bit, but that wouldn't keep me from meeting the male equivalent of a hot babe at Starbucks.
This time of year is perfect for a Caramel Apple Cider filled with steamed apple juice, caramel, cinnamon syrup and whipped cream. Yum. Or classic hot chocolate made of steamed milk and mocha syrup, vanilla syrup and whipped cream.
Or just chocolate milk.
With a straw.
And that's just a few of the billion choices at Starbucks.
Just remember: The answer is ALWAYS YES.
Because the question isn't Do you want to drink coffee?
The question is Do you want to sit with a hot babe? And enjoy the privilege of watching her sip from a cup?
