Be thankful there are nice people in this world that actually care. Ones like me like to create smiles by giving goodness to others as such

We all have bad days and maybe one of those chats and how your coffee is going will be the smile that makes your day turnaround

Have to wonder why every time I try to just sit and enjoy a cup at Starbucks by myself, I am usually approached and asked "hows the brew today or something to that effect. Now, I do understand people just being friendly but.. because I am alone really does not mean I am wanting to entertain open conversation with strange guys. Anyone else out there having the same problem? I really hate to be mean so I will try to be a polite as possible but it usually winds up with me having to look at my watch and stating I have to go before I was really ready. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome. Who knows? It could be that's where you meet your match. My best friend met her now husband at the coffe shop of her local bookstore |

sounds like you don't have social skills and simply address mens approaches sad to blame others seeking conversation etc... does demonstrate a lack of empathy on your part... Yep Agree on that....I would entertain Anybody who'll approach me with decency, what's a big deal having to have a conversation anyway...if you're not in the mood then just politely tell the man, he won't force himself anyway...yes, we should have social ethics too if we're in a public place....might as well get a coffee in a closed cubicle if there is a place like this though.....and put a sign "Don't Disturb" lolzzzz |

That's not nice at all, hate to hear of people like that!
|

It's not that I mind so much, it's more I like to enjoy a quiet moment as I get so few of them.
|

Have actually thought about that a few times but my intention is to enjoy a nice warm cup of coffee and not have to carry on a conversation. In my job I have to smile and be conversant 10/hours a day. Just want a small slice of isolation once and a while.

It's not that I mind so much, it's more I like to enjoy a quiet moment as I get so few of them. It really wouldn't matter to you at that point..yes.. |

Finally, someone who can relate! You understand what I am talking about..Thanks so much for your note on this. I have been told that I might want to put a ring on my finger it does seem to ward off guys but it irritates me that I have to go to such measures just enjoy a coffee.

I am hearing this is a pretty common problem if your single and sitting alone.
|

I do remember those days. Your right I should be flattered (and I do know that some gals my age probably think I am crazy) but the point is to have a quiet moment. I do belong to a local singles club and enjoy meeting new guys to dance and chat with bit it the purpose of the event. Having coffee (to me) shouldn't be a pick up place.

hard to answer that one. At those moments I am really not expecting to meet "Mr Right" especially at a small coffee shop. Been single long enough to know the chances aren't very good.

I know your just trying to help, probably going to get a fake wedding band and see how that goes. And I have to stress I am not offended by people just being nice but I can tell the difference between someone just saying hello and are you sad and lonely cause your by yourself.
|

I can relate to wanting quiet time ... but seriously how often does it happen .. is it every time you sit down with a coffee .. if it is .. what are you wearing ???? Do you live in Alaska ???? I am just teasing you .. winking ... try wearing a fake wedding ring perhaps :-) |
|
|
|
Forget the ring... just try putting a sign around your neck... keep that F..back... trying toenjoy some quiet time... for crap sakes.. how would you like it if I came and knocked on the bathroom door while you were in there reading Sports Illustrated..hmmmm.lol jk

wouldn't it be nice if us gal's could be so open with men. Really, if I came up to a single guy texting on his phone and started idle chit-chat, how do you suppose that would go?
|
|
|
|
I now know why I stay quiet when out in public.
|
|
|
|
I would either feel very hurt or return the laugh and eye roll. It's all on my intention of what I was expecting from an unsolicited conversation with a stranger.

lets hope
