Thank you guys for all the replies.
May we all have a good day ahead of us.

How else can we slip a sedative into your system?

Hey, where do you think your going?
Come back here.
You should know it's not over until the fat lady sings

It's not only guys... most people prefer to go just for coffee on first meets. Actually it is advisable because it gives both parties a chance to see if there is chemistry between them. If there is chemistry then you go on second date... if no chemistry then it was just coffee... no big deal... thank each other for showing up.

It used to be "Let's go for a drink." That was in the 70s and 80s. But with lots of bad people trolling the internet these days, IMO going for a drink with a total stranger you met in the internet, is not advisable. Plus you don't go for a drink at 10 o'clock in the morning now, do you? Plus alcohol is more expensive than coffee, well probably the same if you go to Starbucks.

sorry my reply was a tad late.

I agree with what rosie said. I personally would rather have the first meetup be going out for coffee.

Is that your plan?
I will tell you but I have to kill you. Ooopps, did I just say that?

No, I am not leaving (yet). Will wait until the fat lady sings.

I really only drink coffee in the morning but a milkshake or a slushie works too. Around here we have snowball stands. Lets go get a snowball and take a walk or sit by a tree in the shade.

Thank you Ms. Pisces and Ms. Rosie.
Appreciate your input.

You're welcome mavis

That goes for me too, mavis

hi pisces

Hi rosie

I felt much like asking my friend the same question?
I used to drink tea with milk as a kid and loved it, but I really cannot stomach it anymore.
Most Dutch ppl drink different teas anyways, herbal or floral and with spices and so on. That's the tea I got too, from a healthfood store.
So the other day my English friends came over, and I thought, "Bleep! I haven't got plain English tea!"
I wanted to be polite, but didn't have time to go to the supermarket anymore. I was in hospital, you can get free coffee and tea there, and I nicked two bags, lol. Could've been three.
Hey, it was for a good cause!!
Bummer was, they came over and wanted coffee

I would like to try the snowball one day.

Hi Blondey
Will choose very carefully
Thanks.

.. and let's not forget my personal favorite..ummm.. do you want to come up for a cup of coffee... or """something""..lol

Simplu barbatii vor sa vadă cu ochii lor *** arata fata în realitate , fără photoshop(cât de atractivă este în realitate , sau dacă exista atracția aceea denumita "chimie").
La fel *** și femeilor le plac sau nu anumite particularități (miros sau voce , maniere sau inteligenta) s-ar putea sa nu le placă de la prima întâlnire .
De la cafea se poate pleca relativ repede cu o scuza bine plasată sau dimpotriva se mai comanda o înghețată sau o prăjitură .... pentru prelungirea întâlnirii .
De abia mai apoi se ajunge la sărut ....sau mai departe .
Deci cafeaua este doar pretextul ....

Let's go oyr somtime
Is very open rnded.
Is this a date? Dressing up? What are the particulars?
If someone were to say let's go to the bar, you m8ght wonder ablut their intentions.

Let's go for coffee is comfortable to meet up and you can expand your plans if things are working out

From the replies here, i consider it a generic invitation which has the objective of meeting in a public venue where consuming beverages (be it coffee, tea, snowball, etc) is a non-threatening feature of that first face-to-face interaction.
