If you mis-react, it's not gonnabe good in the appraisal department.

This is normal in the professional world. People take other people out for lunch and dinner. It would be bizarre to jump to conclusions
I work in a professional environment, I have for a long time, and I can tell the difference between a man that is just a co-worker taking me out to lunch, which I often do btw; and a grease ball who is looking for something else.

Maybe lots of people try and make new friends during college?
I mean, I'd ask a girl out for a coffee and expect nothing more than a conversation.

You might just look like an interesting person.

Men are always going to ask. There will be men who just want to see what they can get away with. No need to blow a fuse. All you need to say is,

"No thank you, I am not comfortable doing [insert phrase here]."

Why does it always have to be the phone number and starbucks.

There's coffee in the college cafeteria too

All I'm saying is that you can use him for a jester. You have nothing to lose, unless he jumps over you for a smooch.

You ladies sound like Islamic women sometimes, please take that veil off to drink coffee, don't use a heat-resistant straw through the veil hole

Oh hell no. In this instance you go to the most expensive place and order the most expensive thing on the menu

Just because everyone 'does it' it's okay, hmmm?
Yeah, and I have a bridge for you to buy in Brooklyn.

Sorry, if 'a guy is going to try' it means he thinks you're easy pickings.

Apparently you gotta roll with whatever anyone wants and 'not have an attitude' because that's just not cool..

I think people are trying to be 'hip' so that no one judges them.

Keep away from married men.

I know, I was just venting and this turned out just hilarious

Oh don't have to tell me twice... I am no homewrecker and never will be, I have no intention on doing anything that will compromise my integrity
