The Best of the Beanies, in no particular order - they were all so good!
Platonic Coffee
☕️ "It is strange to find someone who flatly refuses to drink coffee, I think that coffee is one of the most universal tastes, so much so that, if Time magazine were to list the pleasures, just as it lists the most influential people of each year, coffee would fight fiercely for first place, in that position would also be sex and money.
If it were my turn to be a judge for this selection, I think money would win, basically because of that popular phrase that says “It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it” or “Nobody knows what he has until he loses it”. Well, I don't want you to think I'm in financial straits, I am, I have NO money, and no sex either, but today I'm feeling optimistic." @ungranulises
The Quest for Coffee
☕️ "The fact that you like coffee doesn't mean that you and I will be best friends or lovers, or that you will be my platonic love, or I, yours. But I have to be honest; the moment I find out that you don't like coffee or that you dislike its aroma, something is off; that something essential to hooking up is broken. Tea? Tea is fine. I love tea; I'm having one right now--to help me sleep--But come on, what about morning coffee? Or that afternoon coffee?" @marlyncabrera
Accepting the different
☕️ "Intrigued I took my cup, the glass with the lemonade and let her choose the spot on the terrace.
Once outside she confessed to me that she couldn't stand the smell of coffee, that she had never liked it. We talked for a while longer and then I took her home.
From that moment on I was careful to invite her to open places where she would not be bothered by the smell of coffee. I, for my part, had no problem sharing a lemonade with her. She could drink coffee at my place." @irvinc
A COFFEE CUP THAT STRENGTHENED OUR FRIENDSHIP
☕️ "All the charm was broken when one of our friends complained about the aroma expressing the following phrase “But what an unpleasant smell, I want to vomit” Although my annoyance at his response was very noticeable, I kept my composure not rude, so I just replied it is noticeable that you are not fond of coffee." @sidalim88
Beyond The Coffee Culture.
☕️ "In a situation where I went on a date with someone for the first time and she didn't like coffee, it's not a problem for me, and that would never affect whatever kind of relationship we have built before my discovery. I might want to know why, meaning I will ask questions but not from a criticizing point of view. Those questions will even help me get to know the person better, and I can even figure out some of our common interests. If things don't eventually work out between us, it wouldn't be because she doesn't like coffee." @george-dee
Uncommon Grounds
☕️ "If this were a first date, I’d wonder if his aversion hinted at deeper incompatibilities. After all, coffee shops are my happy place, and the idea of a partner who couldn’t enjoy them with me would feel… odd. Would he mind my morning brew filling the house with its rich aroma? Would they feel left out when I suggested a café for a casual outing?" @madilyn02
Different Strokes for different Folks
☕️"As much as I love coffee and I uphold certain coffee traditions that I wouldn’t trade for anything, I wouldn’t judge a person based on their like or dislike for coffee as one’s preference for coffee does not determine how much of a good person they are.
For example, I decided to go on this date with you my friend, the goal is to get to know you more and to build a connection and if things go smoothly we can hit it off from there. I’m sure as hell not going to throw all that away the moment you tell me you don’t drink coffee or you dislike the smell of it." @ibbtammy
Coffee Cheers
☕️ "I can't force anyone to take coffee with me, but it would have been so nice if we could have a cheerful moment with some coffee. Or maybe have a date in a coffee shop and have the best time together.
Most times I feel the reason why people don’t like drinking coffee is because of the taste. The aroma is so unique and attractive when it comes to taste, it’s not everyone would love to go for it." @abdul-qudus
MY COFFEE, HER CHOICE
☕️ "The first thing I would do with someone who dislikes coffee is try to convince them to take a sip If they have already had an experience with coffee, I‘d ask what exactly turned them off. My roommate, Christy, has tried coffee before, and apart from the fact that she said she didn’t like the taste, she mentioned it made her feel terrible and she couldn’t sleep the day she drank it. She also went on about the health benefits and side effects of coffee." @lizizoo
Coffee and friends, the best option.
☕️ "Instead of letting coffee aversion affect my dynamic, I become it in an opportunity to learn from each other. Thus I discovered that the most satisfactory relationships are based on acceptance and curiosity about what makes us different and, at the same time, similar. At the end of the day, what matters is the human connection, not the drink we choose.
Although for me a good cup of coffee will always be the best option." @maylink
