I've never had a guy invite me out to a bookstore
I have had several dates which were drinks-then-dinner which gives the same situation, if you like them enough over the pre-dinner drinks you then go on to dinner. If not, no real loss. I like talking to people in general though so I don't think I ever "ran" after meeting a guy - there's always something interesting about them to learn even if I don't want to see them again after that. I'm odd though
