Stranger asked me out for coffee ...?

No you were not rude, you didn't KNOW him and it would be scary if you did agree to go with him- the world is not a safe place anymore.  Don't feel bad, you did the right thing, you basically let him know that you weren't really interested.  Good job.  Rude would have been if you stopped him as soon as he started talking to you, gave him a dirty look, and told him off- that would've been rude.

Don't be shy, whats the worst that could happen? she could not respond but like u said shes a stranger and you'l probably never see her again :) but try to be friends first by finding some common ground with her. For example if you're both in a que buying food, make conversation about the food, and if shes friendly (which also implies that she would be a social person), she'l respond, and once you're comfortable enough, introduce yourself (preferably before you get to the beginning of the que), and people dont mind answering random questions, ask her what she's ordering, and tell her what you're contemplating ordering etc etc etc. Like i said this is only an example but just be yourself and you never know who you'll meet, or where you'll meet them.\nBut be sure you go out with someone whos worth the effort and dont let the relationship play out for more than 2 weeks, if u dont see it going anywhere, it will only make things harder, so be open and honest with her. But try practicing your conversational skills, and its always cool to know little arbitrary but interesting bits of information :)

Well, the first time would be questionable, but if the coffee was good I'd definitely be stopping again!!  You might want to make sure that the people below you aren't going to mind all the traffic overhead though. . . because if I'm coming back for seconds I'm bringing a crowd.  But hey, where exactly do you live because that might pose a problem with me getting to work on time!  Not to mention the soaring gas prices!!\n\nGood Luck in your business venture.  Let me know when your grand opening is scheduled!!

why not take a chance and talk to him, he may already  be in a relationship, but ask him out for coffee and see what he says. if he says no then you know where you stand, otherwise you will be continually wondering what could of been. take a chance.

Drop by for a coffee and interview /Management/Staff. They might like you and ask you to fill out an application.

Wow. This one's hard to give a specific answer to. There is very little info on this, so I'll give a general answer to it.\n\nFirst off, you have to have 100% confidence in yourself because it will affect you as far as how you ask. Another thing is that you have to be indifferent to the outcome of the situation because this too will affect how you ask a girl out.\n\nNow the how to. When you ask a girl out, don't make it sound like you are asking her out. Make it sound more like you are going somewhere and ask her if she would like to join you.\n\nexample :\n"Hi, ________. Listen, I'm going to go ________. You can join me if you like."\n(first blank is the name)\n(second blank is the place you want to go)-starbucks is good.\n\nIf you do that, the girl will feel comfortable because you are not pressuring her to go with you. Instead, you are giving her the option to tag along with you.

well, you might as well take the leap and ask him if he'd like to go out sometime for coffee or the movies....and then you can find out if he likes you...best of luck.

this could very well be a sign of interest. Signal back at her next time and perhaps try talking to her a bit longer. the longer she is interested in your convo the bigger the chance that she is interested. Ask her out for coffee sometime.

Yea!!I am glad to see your moving on a little bit.  For the record I am not frustrated with you, nor the all knowing one...I think you are cute! I can tell by your questions you are overly causious.  I just feel pulled to encorage you to move it up with this gentleman.  Time goes by too fast and I hope you give him that look or tell him that it is time to take you out...I would take you out sight unseen and I have no Idea who you are.  So just do it girl!

Well obviously she is interested in you or else she wouldn't invite you to a club.  It's your choice on what you should do but if you feel brave then ask her out to breakfast.

Don't tell her that you've admired her for years, or she'll think you're a stalker and that she can have you wrapped around her little finger.  Be nice and ask her if she'd like to go for a coffee sometime.

take it slow, ask her out for coffee. then you can talk awhile. if this coffee thing works, ask her out again for coffee a few more times. if she is interested in you, you'll know it,

Do what the guys do, ask him out for coffee.  Guys tend to answer yes or no to this depend on wheither or not they like you.  And if he says no, it's no big deal -- it's just coffee, so it's not embarrising.

:) I'm not sure I'm like most women, but personally I do love when a guy asks me out... as long as it's in a nice way. If you don't know her, a look at her eyes and a smile when she notices should make her smile back. If she does, then you can come closer and introduce yourself, then start chatting a bit and ask her to have a coffee (if she can't but is interested she will probably offer to exchange numbers). About numbers, here are my "rules": if I'm really interested I will take his number and give him mine -no risk to miss an opportunity-, if I'm not too interested I will just take his -I decide-, if I want to see if he really is interested (and if I am) I will give him mine -let's see if he wil call-.\nNow if you know her already (classmate, for example) you can try to chat with her from time to time and see if you have something in common that could be used: like if you talk about cinema, maybe she will mention a movie she wanted to see. If you want to be direct with a girl I would go for the "I was wondering if you would have time to have a coffee with me one day?". It's still casual, she can decline easily (important!), and again if she really can't but is interested she will offer another solution. Don't do too much, she has to feel she can refuse.\nOn a more general basis, if I see a guy I like I will do the smile-and-bat-my-eyes trick, this is usually enough to encourage the guy to move ahead. If he smiles backs and seems interested but won't move, I will probably offer a coffee myself if there is a possibility  won't see him again (subaway etc.) :)\nAnd about the bf... you're not supposed to know! If she say she has one, just don't say you're not jealous... please! ;) And don't worry, if you act nicely I don't think a girl will reject you roughly. She will probably be flattered: what girls have everyday it's guys making kiss sounds or saying comments about their body, not an actual sentence. That's not that common... ;)

Ok. I'm a student and I'm seeing a lecturer, and have been for the past two years, so we aren't all after good grades. I would say that she really likes you,and trust me, it is harder for her to ask you out than vice versa, as she would be scared of you laughing, or being shocked, and that her grades might suffer (although we all know that its impossible to get away with something so petty). I would ask her for coffee, somewhere nutral, like on campus, and see how it goes then. If she likes you, you will know then.

She may have been trying to impress you.  Making herself up nicer for you.  I would consider it a compliment.  Lunch would be a friend like thing to do and dinner in a business setting is more.  If you feel it may be more, talk a little more, go out, never know what will happen and if nothing does, at least you have someone that can get you free drinks :)

Oh I hate it when people do that - it's creepy. Just ask him straight out. You want to know, after all... If it's the guy you like sending you stuff, then that's awesome! If it's not, then you can say something like, oh good, it's kinda creepy to not know who it's from and you don't seem like a creepy kinda guy... you know, use it to start a conversation...
