What does it mean when someone says we should get coffee sometime?

How do you decline a coffee invitation?

I think “Coffee” is just the code word for I’d like some of your time. “I can’t do coffee but feel free to come by the office for 20 minutes” are the code words for Yes, but on my terms and there’s only a short amount of time I can give you. “I’m sorry, but I’m crazy busy right now” are the code words for No.

Is “I’m afraid of coffee” grammatically correct?

No, I’m afraid not. It is not grammatically correct for different reasons. First of all, in this sentence construction, you should say have coffee and not, take. Coffee is a liquid, so it’s an uncountable noun. You cannot say a coffee; you can say either some coffee or a cup of coffee.

Is it okay to say “Hey grab a cup of coffee”?

Coffee is such a low-commitment thing, anyway — even moreso than getting a drink (alcohol), and way lower commitment than getting lunch (or dinner). “Hey, wanna grab a cup of coffee?” has never not worked for me, unless I was severely misreading cues about whether or not that person felt comfortable/wanted to chat with me.

Is it a date if you ask someone to grab coffee?

Is it lame to ask someone to go for coffee?

By the way, if someone asks to grab some drinks rather than coffee, it changes the whole situation… No, it’s not lame. If it is, a million people a day are lame.
