Geezuz friggin christ. All this over coffee? A woman asks you out for coffee and you think she wants to f you?? Maybe- but only if you shared those kinds of vibes when you worked with her. Don't you have any friends that are female?

Far more likely she just wants to get together. I meet friends/former co-workers (female & male) for lunch and they invariably ask me out (I'm just too lazy). Some of the women are married some not but they all know I am. We're friends not lovers.

The last time I was invited out for coffee, who I wasn't trying to date, the person was trying to sell me Amway...

Women can be what they wish to be today.
I.E- whoring / teasing / insulting / innocence / naivety / abusive./ choreographed/ trained/
and all knowing and already heard and absorbed -what to do- by popular media.

Geez. Can I have 2 minutes of my life back?

I would meet any coworker for coffee - male or female. I would not run this past my wife, leave alone take her along. It is a former coworker I am meeting. If they really end up trying to make a move - I respectfully decline. Chances are you may miss out on something (non-sexual): Latest gossip, sales leads, job offers etc. just because you over-analyzed the sheet out of this situation.

Grow a pair!

If you are invited for coffee, it's just coffee. If you're invited for spaghetti dinner, bring protection. Believe it.

If you're invited for a fettuccine dinner, then WATCH OUT!

If being married means giving serious thought to this type of minutiae, I'll be single forever.

Some see marriage as a wonderful institution wherein two people in love become "as one".

So, what? You don' wanna be institutionalized and become a "half person"?

I afraid you think too much, unless there is something you have not told us. If you want a coffee with an old friend (coworker), go for it. If you "want" her, go and find out, but make it a dinner instead. If you don't care what she thinks, don't go and forget about it. An email such "sorry, busy that day. Maybe another time".

There is a type of girl who would tell eveyone that the guy likes her, only when he said "hey, you looke nice today". There is also a type of girl who would "almost" flirt with you but that doesn't mean she likes you. Some would tell you things such "long time no see. I miss you. Let's go for lunch. etc", and even a wink or a nice body movement... and that is all she would give you. The teaser type. So, don't waste your time and assume.

So this is a 2 part question. Are women nowadays more aggressive?
2. How do you handle an email like this?

I take my coffee black, like my wife's.... pupils.

What time does she want coffee? AM? PM? This question is far too difficult without pics.

What about a drive train and a chassis are united to become a car?

This tread has so much potential!

I'm very disappointed in all of you...

I would say more but I have a previous co-worker coming over for lasagna.

Caio!

I like my women the same way I like my Louisiana coffee:

Noir comme le Diable;
Fort comme la Mort;
Doux comme l'Amour;
Et chaud comme l'Enfer.

English Translation:

Black as the Devil;
Strong as Death;
Sweet as Love;
And hot as Hell.

and all colors, not just one
