[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college freshman daughter has asked a few guys for coffee/breakfast this year and they have said no. 
The latest was this week and they guy basically said he was busy and would be busy 'all month."

She's lovely, thin, smart, well dressed, etc. 
I have no idea what's wrong. She has no trouble making female friends, has a great group who are also lovely. 
She's about to give up entirely. I joke to myself that maybe she should date women. [/quote]

You are omitting something.[/quote]

I'm really not. She is pretty, thin, smart and the boys just turn her down. These are kids she's been in class with. One was a lunch invite. 'hey, do you want to meet for lunch?" 
I have no idea what is going on.

Is it clear to the guy that this is a date or that your DD is romantically interested?  I just don't get the "let's meet for lunch" or meeting for coffee/breakfast.

This is college...so most students aren't getting up to meet for breakfast, and most lunches are quick bites between classes.

I would think the invite would be to have dinner or hang out in the dorm room / do something in the evening.

Neither of my sons have any issues asking out girls in college, but if they were approached with offers for breakfast or lunch, I am not sure how they would react, even if they were interested.  It gives off strange "friend zone" vibes...and nobody with romantic interest wants to go into the "friend zone" category.[/quote]
