A random, caffeine-fueled thought...

Let’s float a hypothetical situation out there: Say you’re at a coffee shop and someone catches your interest. They look attractive and bright, appealing and quite possibly rewarding. After twenty minutes of building up the required amount of courage, you convince yourself to go over and start a conversation, or at least to ask if you and the object of your intentions can meet.

But you’re sitting in a coffee shop. So you can’t really ask them to coffee, can you? What’s your backup plan?

I’m convinced, as I watch these people funnel into and out of this wonderful, artistic coffee shop, that this is a terrible place to meet people. It limits your options.

Or maybe I’m telling myself that because it’s easier to hide in the corner with my book.

I’m waiting for someone else to make a move, prove me wrong. If this guy on my left can work up the nerve to go talk to the tall brunette, this whole post was for nothing. Otherwise, I should win some kind of Internet award for observations stemming from anti-social behavior.
