I did that recently, too. I was having dinner with my son at a place that is next to a Barnes and Noble that has a Starbucks in it. And when I walked by and saw a few people sitting in there, I thought "I bet they're on a 'first meet'"!! Too funny!

Funny you mention this. I was actually browsing in a B&N bookstore that has a Starbucks in it, and saw a WEIRD internet/blind date of "some sort" in progress. The girl was sitting there alone, her cell rang, she told him where she was seated, and he arrived. He sat down really casually like he was in his own living room, and started talking about what she was wearing(work clothes)and how he hates to "dress up". Then, he said that he only had 2 bucks on him and was gonna go see what he could get. HOLY SMACK RED FLAG FOR THOSE OF US WHO EXPECT TO BE WINED AND DINED, HUH? He went to the counter, asked how much a bottle of soda (IBC ROOT BEER) was... INCLUDING TAX... he actually asked the cashier/server INCLUDING TAX... My 8 year old asks questions like that;) He came back to the table and said it was 2.xx and the girl opened her wallet and gave him a COIN... I was about PIMP at this point, that she didn't get up and R-U-N the other way, and YES I was tempted to tell her to GO GO GO.

So, long story short, yeah, I think it too when I see people at Starbucks.

I used to think the same thing -- then when I was studying SCUBA I spent one night per week in B&N coffee shop and it looked like mostly people who knew each other. I did not detect any Internet daters -- or at least if they did it was very quiet.

I was expecting to see lots of Internet daters.

Last Fall I was in a money crunch and worked a second job part time at Barnes & Noble -- not only was the cafe RIFE with OLD first-timers, I actually ran into a guy I'D had a first meet with there!!!!
