A guy has asked me out to coffee. I don't think it's a date I think it's just a friendly thing. I met him through a friend at a xmas. Now thing is I don't drink coffee or any hot drinks for that matter and to be honest don't really want to be sat for hours holding a freezing frappe in my hands. I would MUCH rather go somewhere to get a bite to eat. Somewhere cheap nothing expensive and actually it will probably cost around about the same when you take into account how ridiculously priced most coffee chains are. So is it rude for me to suggest me get a bite to eat instead? I think he only said coffee because he didn't want to come on too strong! Lol
I know I could get something in the coffee shop but I'd rather go somewhere to eat. Just a nicer atmosphere
 
I wouldve said, I dont drink coffee at the beginning, but we could chat over a bowl of chili at _____

But now, Im assuming he will call ... You could say, I have a confession.
I was interested in getting to know you better, but I actually dont like coffee and was wondering if we could go dutch treat over a sandwich at ____ (somewhere very public)

He might end up paying but at least offer..since your "upgrading" the date
 
Yes, it is rude. Coffee places have plenty of alternatives to drink besides coffee or hot beverages. And, you shouldn't order food unless he does. The point is not to eat a meal. He just wants to talk and get to know you. Also, offer to pay for yourself.
 
It's such a cliche going for a "coffee". It be much more interesting going to do something a little different' if your English I suggested go for a drink in your local pub and if your not too bad, much more fun than a coffee shop.
