(If you was a single guy) ya shoulda gone up and asked what she was thinking bout.
How does that make her a psychopath?
Maybe her dog just died and she's trying to drown her sorrows in mocha latte.
My son met his wife there.
That's so cute!
What was his method for approaching her without weirding her out, if you are willing to share?
She was working there. He asked for her phone number and she gave it to him.That's so cute!

When was the last time you hung out in a Starbucks?
Just peruse the inside of a few and get back to me on this subject.
Half past never, but I'm not a good test sample. Haven't been to shopping mall in half a decade.
Wait, what were YOU doing in the Starbucks, hmmmmm???
Actually, I did go to a Starbucks once. A friend wanted to meet up with a rando who had some stuff she wanted for a project. Nice lady, our fears were ungrounded.
I've taken girls to Starbucks for dates: However I never went there looking for a date.Let's face it. The only reason to venture inside a Starbucks location is to get noticed. After all, how else can you explain why someone would pay three times as much for a mediocre cup of coffee? The other 85% of their die-hard fans who drink this stuff are the ones who sit for 20 minutes in the drive-thru on their way to someplace else.
But hey, this place ain't so bad, after all
This morning I was super early to church, for a change. That's only because I had to stop at the drugstore on my way in. It only took a few minutes, so I stopped at Starbucks near my church to discover what the famous coffee shop was offering these days and to see if there were any nice ladies to chat with. After all, I hadn't been to Starbucks in a very long time.
I sauntered to the counter and ordered the acai strawberry lemonade since I no longer drink coffee. The inevitable chastisement from the pretty young barista came when I ordered a "medium." She smiled as she spoke the size of the drink in a foreign language, and at that point, I stood corrected.
An okay place to flirt and make new connections
Meanwhile, an attractive, well-dressed woman about my age– no, I'm not going to tell you what that is, nice try– came in as if she owned the place and ordered her drinks like she knew what she was doing. She then sat at a table near where you pick up your order. It clued me into the fact I was at the wrong end of the counter!
This well-put-together lady seemed like she might be receptive to a first contact – I'll show you the signs in another post– so, I went over to her and blurted out, "Good morning, how are you today?"
"Oh, pretty good. How bout you?"
"Okay," I replied, "But I think someone should write a book titled How To Starbucks."
She smiled, so I continued.
"Several years ago, a guy wrote a book titled How To California. In one of the funniest parts, he explains how every citizen there is responsible for having a nice tan."
"That's about right," she mused.
(Sorry if you're from California, but your beautiful state bears the brunt of many jokes where I'm from).
Of course, the pretty young barista felt compelled to break up our wonderful conversation by invading our space and saying, "Your order's ready sir. Your order's ready ma'am."
Sometimes, it's best to quit while you're ahead
I noticed my new lady friend was getting her order to go, so I wished her a wonderful day and told her goodbye. Then, I plopped down on an extremely long couch where no one else sat. In fact, there were only two other guys in the Starbucks with me now, so I observed what they were doing.
One young man was college-age and hiding behind his laptop. The other man had movie-star looks and was also hiding behind his laptop. What a shame, I thought. Here are two good-looking, lonely guys who came to Starbucks for the sole purpose of meeting their dream woman, only to let their shyness thwart their chances.
And don't give me that line about how they were just there to catch up on work! Remember, it's Sunday, and college classes are already finished for the semester. The sad fact is that they were both dripping with obviousness.
It's easier than you think to start a conversation
If you're shy about talking to women, you're not alone. After all, it's not some elective subject you can take while in high school or college, somewhere between world history and trigonometry.
The good news is that any man, no matter how shy, can develop the skills to talk to any woman, no matter how beautiful. You don't need looks or money or a special opening line.
In the next post, I'll show you how a single word can give you the confidence to work into a full-blown conversation with anyone, including that beautiful lady you've had your eye on for a while now.
I don't think the odds of finding a believer are very good. That doesn't mean that the Lord couldn't bring a couple people to connect at a coffee shop.
I see nothing wrong with getting aquatinted with someone there as long as you are cautious to not go any further unless she is saved. If she is not, then you should also be bold and lead her to Christ .
Here's an example of soul winning at Starbucks or any other place.
Starbucks are a decent place to get a cup of coffee....and I like coffee.Half past never, but I'm not a good test sample. Haven't been to shopping mall in half a decade.
Wait, what were YOU doing in the Starbucks, hmmmmm???
Actually, I did go to a Starbucks once. A friend wanted to meet up with a rando who had some stuff she wanted for a project. Nice lady, our fears were ungrounded.
People actually work their jobs in a Starbucks. They set up their laptops and work files, send emails, have meetings and etc. They scroll phones while waiting to meet others....
Being on an electronic device while in a Starbucks is part of it. Not using electronics is like trying to drink a milkshake while in a starbucks....it's just wrong.
All I'm hearing is "I saw someone who preferred their own thoughts over a digital nuk-nuk and it scared me"
Isn't that being sexist to call women breakfast sandwiches?
Is that a euphemism for something?
Beware of the ones that believe they can live in sin and still be saved.
It's an inside joke with someone I know personally and in real life.
And no, I wasn't being sexist.
Has anyone ever gone into a Starbucks and asked, "Can I buy you a Strawberry Funnel Cake Cappuccino?
After being burned by a number of gfs, I'm cautious of all.
Maria S. was a gf early in college.
I thought that I led her to Christ one evening. She pretended to be saved. Then one day that MD to be, tried to murder me between Colson Hall and Wise Library @wvu. Her demon manifested in no uncertain terms. An hour or so went by and I finally cast it out. A saved woman can Not be possessed by a demon.
At our next and last date at a restaurant, she was finally honest with me. I asked her about her salvation. She told me she only prayed with me and acted like she was saved to make me happy. She was lying all the time and still placed her faith in the Catholic sacraments and Mary, mother of Jesus.
That's been the story of a number of ladies. They lie to make and keep that connection and then the truth comes out eventually. Just because someone says they are saved, many are going through an act so they can get what they want.
As to "living in sin and still be saved", please note that quitting sinning is not how one gets saved. Maintaining a sinless behavior does not maintain ones salvation either.
"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
And they said, quit living in sin and thou shalt be saved?
No
"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved."
Acts 16:30...
Correct.All I'm hearing is "I saw someone who preferred their own thoughts over a digital nuk-nuk and it scared me"
Normal, well adjusted People left alone in a room (no distractions) with a device they are told will administer shocks....
Would rather self administer those electric shocks than be alone with their own thoughts. Every time within 15 minutes.
Psychotic patients were too busy arguing with themselves.....EVERY TIME.
I'm a bit of a discount-bin psychology nerd myself.... can you link me to study you're referencing? The only similar one I'm familiar with is the 2014 experiment undertaken by the psychology department at UVA
