So if the guy had bought you the toasted coconut coffee instead of talking about it, he would have seemed less of a weirdo?

Over here guys sometimes try to buy women drinks but it is often seen as a bad thing too. Women here want to be financially equal to men and want to buy their own drinks. I have found it's easier just starting conversations about innocent subjects and see where it leads. If there is chemistry, great. If not, at least you didn't sound like a creep. Tho I do understand it may be odd if someone starts talking about a coffee three times, maybe he is just hoping the conversation would develop to other topics aswell

I was at a grocery store so it would’ve been VERY odd if he had bought the coconut coffee for me!

If we had been at a cafe or coffeeshop, that would’ve been a nice thing for a stranger to buy me coffee. He seemed like a nice enough person (didn’t think he was a weirdo), but I was NOT interested.

I ran into him at 3 different spots while shopping, and he made comments to me. I was simply being polite by chatting to him.

Re women in Finland not into men buying them drinks — makes sense to me, assuming it’s a Scandi thing since gender equality in Scandi countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland) is excellent compared to other countries around 🌎🌍🌏?

I personally like and appreciate being bought a drink, whether coffee or alcoholic beverage.

It’s also very common thing in the UK and I’ve had 🇬🇧friends of 🇬🇧friends buy me drinks. They’re also my friends now. All lovely, fun, smart, interesting people. UK people definitely enjoy drinking, haha.
