It seems lately that when I meet a guy for coffee at starbucks, we proceed to walk away from it and go sit somewhere in the shopping center and have nothing, or they don't have any idea what to order. I see people lined up everyday for their lattes and stuff but it seems I only meet guys that are no into that. I love to go to starbucks and it is just a comunity thing to me having a latte at the starbucks near me. It is embarassing standing there waiting for my date to figure out what to order and there is a long line behind us. It seems like less and less people like coffee when it used to be that everyone drank it. I like to keep the first date casual and I prefer meeting for coffee as is what else is there to do on a first meeting? You can't do the go out together and do something with a complete stranger.

I don't see that it would be a money issue. I know 4 bucks is a lot for coffee but most of these guys drive suvs and they have to spend alot on gas money so if cost is an issue why don't they have a small fuel efficient car?

Starbucks is the only place that makes coffee that's as good as what I can make for myself. (Brag, brag...) Anyway, if he doesn't know what to get tell him to get the coffee of the day. Just because he drives an SUV doesn't mean he's wealthy. It's just considered "manly" to do it, and he probably didn't pay cash for it but had to finance it. So between the gas prices and the finance payments he's probably not spending $4 for coffee on a daily basis. I wouldn't, either. So help him out in the line.

As the two of you are standing in line, that would be a great time to talk to him about if he likes coffee or not. If he doesn't than see if he would like a Chia, tea or even a hot chocolate. If he likes coffee but doesn't know anything about lattes etc, either try to teach him or just have him get a regular coffee. Me personally I would find a nice independent coffee house to meet at that serves real coffee and not the swill that is at Starbucks. FYI, I lived in Seattle for over three years and always found the independent carts had better tasting coffee. Once I moved back to the Midwest, the Starbucks coffee got even worse.

i don't know how old you are but yes a coffee is probably the best way to go for a first date other than going to a little caffe somewhere that he can order something he likes may be tea water or just a box stndard coffee (no frills) and you can have the same a no frills coffee.
failing that go for a meal somewhere quiet where you can get to know each other.
alternatively why not order him the box standard coffee or get him the same as your having. the polite thing to do as the guy would be to thank you for ordering and then he would drink it regardless of if he liked it or not, as i say just to be polite thats if he wants to get to know you and is not just out to get you into bed on the first date which sadly some guys are just out for a good time in the bedroom at the end of a date.
personally in the small seaside town where i live in the uk as far as i know there is no place like starbucks. all we have are pubs clubs and cafes/hotels and reasturants.
so either learn to like a box standard coffee or get used to a different place to meet people.
ultimatly the choice is yours, only you can decide what you want to do. starbucks is afterall just a coffee shop as far as i know. I've never set foot in one and i have no plans to either. if i want a coffeee i make do with a jar of instant and make my own. not that i'm cheap but it when your income is low like mine you do as much as you can for yourself. You only go out to eat and drink if your on a date the rest of the time you prepare your own meals and drinks.
YOU have to decide what kind of guy you want, do you want a guy who is kind caring and loves you, but who does not know his coffees from his elbow or a guy who knows his coffees but is not all that great. sadly you have to remember no one is perfect.
good luck i hoope you find a guy you like that drinks at starbucks, hey why not hang around starbucks and when you see a single guy you think you might like ask him out, or just ask if you can join him and treat that as a first date. if it does not work out then the next day try a different guy.

We share a common thread there for sure. I LOVE Starbucks!! I just had a novel idea(actually I have used it before). I go sit outside Starbucks and sip on a cup of coffee for a couple of hours..........to meet women. If they come to Starbucks, we already have something in common, so we're one step ahead. When you meet them, then you can sit and talk to get familiar...to see if there's any chemistry there. If there is.VOILA!...relationship in the making!

Many normal people don't drink coffee, and many more can't stand Starbuck's.

Seems to me your meeting your new beau's in the wrong places. Try meeting your next guy in a different place.

The name is "Four-Bucks" and it's a waste of $. That much money in a drink with no alcohol is absurd!
