Coffee Talk

Coffee?

This topic of discussion has brought to light situations that arise from the a small cup filled with brewed tasty beans. Recently with the game Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, the main characters girlfriend asks him in for coffee, only to well have sex with him. ( i played the game, and i was invited in for coffee, but all i heard was noise i didn't see anything) Even on Seinfeld, there was the whole scenerio of what it really meant when someone asked you upstairs for coffe. What does that mean? Who drinks coffee at night, unless you are planing to stay up late. Does that mean the person likes you well enough to invite you to an intimate chat while drinking a great cup of coffee.

Reason for inquiry into the true intentions of coffee arise from a little letter i recieved in my email yesterday. Of course the Facebook is a huge college thing, and i even have one(which is how Art boy contacted me). It was real late last night and i was going to see if Kay left me an email when i notice one from a name i do not recognize. Its from a boy name Drew who has found my profile pretty interesting. Drew writes:

"Hey!
I was just going through the Buddhist group and saw your profile... I'll have to admit, it's not often I find someone else interested in such similar tastes. If you wanted to sometime, maybe we could meet for coffee or something and chat it up once we all get back in swing with the coming semester. Let me know. Peace, Drew"

I stared at this message for like 5 minutes. What does it mean? I mean i didn't even know i was in the Buddhist group (i'm interested in Buddhism, but haven't really took the steps to becoming serious about it). Okay...i have no idea what to do. I realized at that moment, i have no clue in the boy department. I mean maybe he just wants to get coffee and talk and become merry old good friends. But i'm not that naive. I mean maybe he really does want coffee. The other part of me, thinks he may want to get to know me in that way that would lead to a relationship more then friends. I checked his facebook profile, and he a music major, is from Pittsburgh, and loves NYC.

I'm a little apprehensive about the whole thing. I mean throughout the whole day, i have been playing the scenerios of me getting coffee with this kid . I over analyze way to much, but i mean i could totally meet up with him, have a horrible time, regret that my first ever "date" would have went horrible. Maybe it's not even a date, i mean technically it's talking over coffee, but coffee is intimate. I mean when you drink coffee with someone it's usually just the two of you engaged in a fascinating conversation. Maybe my conversation will be horrible, my cursing will repulse him, and he will go around talking badly about the "date/hanging out" with a girl who couldn't hold a conversation to save her life.

But what i'm more afraid of, is me liking him. He seems like a decent guy, if anything we would probably make really good friends. Maybe i'm just thinking too much about it. I mean maybe he wrote to more girls saying "hey how you doing" and i am just too guilable to see past his devious intentions. Or maybe he really just wants to get to know me. And i shouldn't shun getting pursued.

I also thought about Art boy. I really like Art boy. A lot. And if anything i would rather him ask me out for coffee, but i can't wait for him, or really for me to get the balls enough to talk to him. Whats a girl to do? I told my mom about it, because well...for once i had no idea what to do. She says coffee is just coffee and that i should go. Then of course she kept questioning who he was, did i know him from class, what was his last name again, he's older then me, yadda yadda yadda. Thats when i tuned her out.

...So i wrote him back. I mean i wrote him back before i talked to my mom i just needed to hear my concerns out loud i guess. I just said something like "coffee would be cool, yadda yadda yadda". I don't know. It's just coffee after all. Who ever got hurt gettiing coffee. Maybe i shouldn't think it will be like San Andreas, clearly coffee is not code for "we're going to party like it's 1999".

Why wait until i'm on vacation to ask me for coffee. and why coffee something i can't turn down. If it would have been "maybe we can go listen to Barry Manilow Cd's in my apartment" than i could have turned him down, and avoided all this weirdness i am feeling.

We'll see what happens.
