Pssh nobody ever said you had to just order a cup of coffee because it was the "mature" thing to do. Hot chocolate is great at all ages and he's not going to think anything else other than you're there. He could care less what you've ordered as a drink. And if he's really going to criticize that you ordered a hot chocolate, what kind of person does that say he is? If anything you can use it as a conversation opener too, or a topic to talk about.
Either way, go for the hot chocolate. If you feel really weird doing it just look at him and smile and say that you prefer hot chocolate to coffee. Watch as he smiles back and he may even say OK too! It's more or less the place of the date you're on, not what you order.
You are over thinking this drink thing...BIG TIME. Don't make the date about your choice of drink, and if its a good choice or not. It's about meeting this person (I assume for the first time). It's your choice, and what YOU want. Don't worry about what he thinks of what you choose. He's going to be much more concerned about how you see him, and keeping a good convos going. Heck, I don't care if the girl wants to suck on ice chips when we meet. The point is meeting and having a good time talking. Good luck.
To me, a coffee date just means a casual date to get to know each other. Ordering coffee isn't required and most guys won't give a sh**. Also most coffee shops offer tea as well.
If he asks, just be honest and say "I'm not a coffee drinker."
If you still prefer to order a coffee, go with a vanilla or chai tea latte, they mainly consist of milk. Or order a steamer if you just can't stand to drink coffee.
If you don't like coffee you don't like coffee. Ordering hot chocolate doesn't make you look any less mature than anyone else. Like not smoking doesn't make anyone that's around me like me any less. You could even say you don't feel like drinking coffee at the time and just order tea or another beverage of your choice. If you have coffee get what has more cream than coffee. Yeah like a machiatto.
You can drink hot chocolate if you want. :) I went on a coffee date a few months ago and the guy had a hot chocolate. You can also order a hot tea if you're into that. But for coffee recommendations, I find that a white mocha (iced or hot) is very good and not bitter like coffee usually is. And pretty much any of the blended frappuccino drinks would work, too.
You could get a Chai Latte or a tea of some kind. If this is a date at Starbucks or Pete's you'll be fine getting a caramel machiatto, white chocolate mocha, vanilla latte, or pretty much anything because many of their drinks are more sugar than coffee.

you can get hot chocolate. there is no age limit. Otherwise you could get tea (particularly a chai)
BUT I think it might be fun and a way to build some chemistry for you to say I don't really drink coffee and then ask what he might suggest. If could be a fun way to get to know each other; however, honestly I would order whatever you want and if the guy wants to make a judgement about your maturity because you ordered a hot chocolate then to hell with him. They sell hot chocolate at Starbucks so obviously adults are buying it. Do what you like and don't worry about the guy's impression of you
Since when is hot chocolate not an adult drink? I know lots of adults who drink it. It's a feel-good kind of drink.
Anyway, the drink you get shouldn't matter. Just get whatever you want.
Thanks for the suggestion. :)
*runs to make some hot chocolate*
Don't stress so much about what to drink; enjoy the date! :) The reason why a coffee shop is chosen is because it's a casual area.
There are things to drink besides coffee...you can get a hot cocoa, an iced cocoa, tea drinks, pre-bottled sodas and juices, bottled mineral water...dont worry about the menu.
If you don't want coffee, there are other options!
P.S. I would go with a mocha if you want an introductory coffee drink; the coffee flavor in it isn't very strong
i hate coffee too but if you're going to starbucks get an iced green tea latte . so good. caramel machiato is pretty good too. pronounce it right he ll be impressed. I worked as a barista before it takes longer than most drinks so you know it's better than most of the other drinks
those are the only drinks I can drink at starbucks
As much as I love coffee I am restricting my caffeine intake right now so I would just get hot chocolate instead. Most coffee shops have plenty of things to choose from. You don't have to get coffee at a coffee shop. Your beverage choice is going to have so little to do with your date.
I assume you said yes because you were interested in the person asking, not in the variety of beverages offered by the business. Mention you don't like coffee, but you were interested in the date, he will more than likely find it endearing rather than immature.
You're severely over thinking it. Drink whatever the hell you want. You could even drink water. No one really cares what you drink, the point of the date is to hang out with each other.
Lol he's not gonna judge you for what drink you get...you're thinking too much, just do what you want. Don't base your actions so much on what you think other people will think, because chances are they aren't going to think about it at all.
Why don't you get the hot chocolate and say you don't like coffee? You agreed to go with him, so I doubt he is going to care. Is it that immature? I don't see it that way. Besides it wouldn't hurt your appearance with him any. I think you're over thinking all of this.
You could be honest and say, "I don't like coffee, can we go somewhere else?" Or you could say something came, can I take a rain check? And then offer to go somewhere else.
If you don't like coffee, stand by your likes and dislikes and order something besides coffee in front of him. A guy will appreciate a girl who is willing to go to a place she doesn't like just to be with him and shows that you value his company.
that is completely irrelevant. The whole point of it is to hang out, not about drinking coffee cause you made a commitment to it. You could sit there and let him get one by himself, it really doesn't matter.
Mature adults understand that not everyone likes coffee. Also, he doesn't give a sh*t what you order.
I recommend you get the hot chocolate and if he cares or she* screw them lol
get a hot tea or hot chocolate! ha ha :) no biggie..
I like coffee.
i would not expect someone to drink coffee just because we 'met for coffee'
Have tea. Tea tastes better and is just as adult as coffee. =)
Go for a hot chocolate haha. If you don't like coffee, you're not going to like coffee.
Don't variate from coffee or this will end up worse than the craigslist killer thingie. Really? Order what you want. Stop thinking so much or your brain may explode.
Just order whatever you want. Tea or hot chocolate is fine, if you don't like coffee.
