Hinge date rejects woman over Starbucks request

After matching on Hinge, things seemed to be going well between the pair – until the woman’s suggestion prompted a very brutal rejection.

What is modern dating?

A woman was left baffled after her date cancelled their first meeting all because she asked to meet at Starbucks.

Taking to Twitter, the woman named Colleen shared the bizarre exchange she’d had with the man whom she’d matched with on the dating app Hinge.

In the screenshots of their text conversation, Colleen begins by asking the man named Matt if he is free to grab a coffee at the chain on Thursday, The Sun reported.

Perfectly innocent, you might say, well it’s enough to put Matt off entirely.

He replies saying: “Starbucks? …

“Yeah I’m not sure this is going to work. You seem nice and all, but I have standards – obviously you don’t.

“I’m trying to build a vision and work towards the finer things in life, and that starts with people on my own wavelength. Starbucks just f**ks up the vibe.”

Dumbfounded, Colleen captioned her tweet: “I literally cannot take online dating anymore how is a guy going to be insane about a Starbucks date ?????”

It has since gone viral, amassing over 71,000 likes on Twitter, but there was one person who didn’t see the funny side.

Matt then screenshotted Colleen’s tweet and sent it back to her, writing “Is this you? How embarrassing.”

Colleen ended the thread by revealing she had now blocked the man’s number.
