Going to get coffee is almost as much of a staple of human behavior as going to the grocery store.  With a Starbucks on almost every corner (and an independent coffee shop on the corners not occupied by Starbucks), coffee beverages are everywhere. 

Gone are the days when people would ask “what’s a cappuccino” These days people argue over what ingredients are supposed to be in a Macchiato and which ingredients are not. 

Since you probably spend a good portion of your day waiting in line at your local coffee shop, you have probably spent some time thinking about whether or not it is a place in which you can meet women.  Here is the good news:  It is possible to meet women in coffee shops! 

It is even possible to meet women in coffee shops and get them to meet you again—in someplace that doesn’t smell like Sumatra.  Here are some tips to help you meet women in coffee shops.

Be Gracious 

If she is having trouble deciding what to order from the menu and turns to apologize, always be gracious.  She is probably feeling very embarrassed.  If she is truly sorry you can offer to help her decide what to order.  Sentences like “I come here all the time, what were you thinking of ordering? I can tell you if it’s good or not,” are good openers.  

This can work in the opposite situation.  If you can’t make up your mind, you can ask the woman behind you what kind of coffee drinks she likes and then you have the bonus option of buying her coffee “to make up for taking so long to decide.

Be Cautious

If she is alone and reading or writing in a journal, approach with caution.  People like to do these things without being interrupted, even if they are in the middle of a busy and noisy coffee shop.  This rule can be voided if there aren’t any empty tables to claim for yourself. 

If she looks up from her book a lot, a good way to meet her is to ask what she is reading and what she thinks of it.  Be honest when she asks if you have read it or have read other books like it.  Lying about what you read will come back and bite you later.

Be Polite 

When you are standing next to a woman at the sugar stand, you can ask her to pass you something—you can easily play it off as being polite—you didn’t want to get in her way.  Politeness goes a long way with women.  The same is true for if she is reaching for something closer to your side of the stand.  Grab it for her with a simple “here you go.”  And the conversation can go from there.

Be Bold
