People Still Find Dates At Coffee Shops

Out of any group of girls or girl I have been friends with, I have always been the single one. I can't explain it. I don't know why, to be honest. IIIIIII think I'm a great catch ;). I'm sure it has to do with many factors in my life. I'm never really looking for "love," I put up a wall because I don't exactly trust people from the get-go (working on that), I'm too busy doing the things I love (my job & extra interests), and the list goes on...

Ultimately, I've stopped worrying about finding Mr. Right. I'm just living my life. However, my friends seems to have interesting love lives...

Elle* was sent by her bosses to the coffee shop to snag a couple low-fat lattes for an afternoon pick-me-up. The line was long—a 30-45 minute wait! And while waiting in line, a tall, handsome, ivy-league grad (3-4 years removed from school), who worked at a top finance firm sparked up a conversation with her. 20 minutes later, he was asking for her number and they were trying to set-up a date for their rendez vous...

Now that type of stuff just doesn't happen. Meeting a guy, in a COFFEE SHOP?! STRAIGHT OUT OF A MOVIE! I hate coffee, but I may just head into Starbucks every now and then to see if some rando strikes up a convo with me. My luck it'll be some creepy guy telling me I remind him of some type of sweet treat. Ugh.
