I realize this is going to be a serious newbie question, but I've just never done coffee shop dates, or much day game, until I started to realize the possibilities thanks to this forum.

So in all seriousness, when you go on a coffee date, what's the best etiquette for things like:

• Do you wait until they arrive to get yourself a coffee?
• If you didn't wait for them, do you then offer to go get them a drink or let them get themselves something?
• If you wait until they arrive to get a drink, do you go to the counter together or do you ask what they want and tell them to wait?
• Do you usually order just drinks or should you also get food?
  

I feel like I screw up any of these, then the situation has instantly been made super awkward. So what is the ideal flow of things on a coffee date?
