Wow, barista in an 8 floor office recognized me after 4 month of WFH

It's because you're so cute. Who could forget a face like that?

@Elyz 😱

@F1973 she is one human, and I is one of hundreds

@F1973 well, she is cute actually.

@F1973 I asked, while waiting for the coffee she were making

Starbucks employee recognized me at Essen HBF / Central Station....

After 3 years. Changed job, was travelling and recognized her.

She even knew that I need my usual fix of quattro shot latte.

I was amazed.

@IntrusionCM are you married yet?

@IntrusionCM dafuq 😱

@Elyz
Nah. I'm not into girls.

Yes. Dafuq was my reaction, too.

Starbucks was and will be one of the places I like most because the employees are friendly. I'm not a fan of murdering coffee / espresso with shitton of artificial flavors... But the service was always top - friendly, empathic and honest.

It's one of the German things I guess.
In some - even smaller, non franchised - coffee bars / restaurants / ... the waiters are very polite and emotionally distant.

I don't like that (though I'm german). ;)

@Jilano I thought we had the good vibes rolling today 😅

@F1973 my lil beardie birdie. *gg*

I'm always a threat. especially in the mornings without coffee.

@F1973 but gals like gays 🤔🤔🤔

@iiii yes and no.

It's more complicated.

While it's not entirely wrong, it's more about the attitude.

Some don't even realize (and sexual preferences doesn't matter) that they unconsciously behave like a frigging peacock on steroids.

Others whip themselves so bad in every second sentence.... (Low self esteem).... Few more examples possible, but you get the gist.

All in all, when you converse with someone and just want to have a nice talk, this is very annoying....

As I said: It's not about sexual preference, having a conversation with a gay glitter twink fairy is impossible, as in every mothertugging sentence it's about him and not about anything else.

@rutee07 yeah....

One of the reasons I'm not good with strangers - I'm a rather rationale Person in the beginning, it takes time for me to warm up to people.

I guess that's the paradoxon in my statement. When I converse with someone, it's out of curiosity and thirst for knowledge. I seldom realize that a person flirts with me, simply because I have no intent of flirting.

@IntrusionCM peacocks on steroids are more common than I can even begin to describe. It's also so unattractive that any interest I may have had just vanishes instantly 😅

@rutee07 so the best way is not giving a fuck?

Who wouldn't recognise the person they are planning to murder

@electrineer fine with me

You can't go on a coffee date though

@theabbie I can just hangout at the coffee bar 🤔

Maybe because you order fucked up things

@Linux nah. She started conversation before my order, and there was no one else.

next time you see her, ask her when she's done, take her out for a cup of coffee :)

@FinlayDaG33k but... she's a coffee barista. she has coffee pretty often

@iiii You sir, are a dense mofo that needs to learn how to date a lass :^)

It's not about the coffee, it's about her and you hanging out together, the coffee is just the thing that brought you together and a great excuse to take her out.

@FinlayDaG33k well, she has a boyfriend. Saw him today

ive been doing it wrong the whole time.

apparently you're not supposed to walk up to women, and just tell them "lets smoke this fat bowl and go over to my rathole apartment to do something you'll regret, but in a good way."

@F1973 eh?

@F1973 no

@F1973 eh?

@F1973 that's kidnapping

@Wisecrack how can you regret is a good way?

@F1973 that does not work like that

@F1973 not in teens anymore

@F1973 exactly because of that. Or I'm just dumb

@F1973 tried tinder. It's meh

@F1973 may be both 🤷‍♂️ not a good social human I am

@F1973 not a virgin. Had relationships before. Not having for some time.

@F1973 ive gotten bored and taken to cockblocking women who approach me.

my hand is now my one true love.

never gonna give you up. never gonna let you down. never gonna run around and hurt you.

@F1973 i dont get that fluttery "butterflies-in-stomach" feeling that people talk about when approaching women. why commit when you dont have to work for them? always seems like the wrong time because every time it goes smooth, and if its going smooth they're probably not a good fit.

if they're right I always believed I got to actively want em, go after em. Don't know about anyone else.

Maybe im just lazy.

@Wisecrack or you've cracked the game

@iiii lol. not a player or "game", never have been. keys just to be in proximity, same as any relationship romantic or otherwise, to be likeable, to be honest about who you are, comfortable in your own skin, and to have passion and joy for whatever you persue or do in life.

@Wisecrack you may not think of yourself as a player, but you're still in the game

@F1973 lol verily i say unto you, go forth my son, and procure a "women on the night!"
but gird thy loins against the unholy curses the she-devil may carry! (and protect thy seed against theft with this simulacra of sheep skin known as "trojan"!)
