Free coffee: coffeehouse norm or a hint that the barista is interested?!
Free coffee: coffeehouse norm or a hint that the barista is interested?
I know, I know, this should be in singles and dating.
I saw her one day several months ago and she smiled at me and I was kind of blown away at how attractive I found her to be after that. Yes, okay, I'm in my 20s with a crush like a teenager again. So as a way of flirting, I gave her a thank you card for making my day. Since then, makes small talk each time I come in and insists I don't need to pay.
Do nice baristas just do that from time to time? Should I read into it at all? Should I gather the balls to ask her out? Or would I just a creepy patron then?

Extra detail: I left my e-mail address on the thank-you card... that was a few months ago now... and haven't received anything from her.

Well, its tough to really tell without knowing you or details, but I will say that as a regular at Starbucks, I do get free coffee from time to time, but not every time I come in.
That should be a sign right there.
If after you gave her the thank you note and she wasn't creeped out, and is talking with you and giving you free coffee, I would say that is a sign then.
Totally get the cojones to ask her out! :)
Free coffee is not the norm. Then they wouldn't make any money. If you like her, ask her out..
Free coffe is definately not normal, so ask her out...I think you will have a chance.

Good luck!
Definitely not normal - unless it's a 'driver reviver' coffee shop. If she's still talking to you, ask her out.
As for not replying to emails, maybe she's rare and doesn't own a computer or have email capabilities on cell phone.
