Venus and Mars

Five men arrived together. They were walkers. Had maps on strings round their necks. The first one asked for a cappuccino and a tea cake and one by one they followed suit. Five of each. That'll do they said. The first man paid for everyone and said they'd sort it out later. They stayed about half an hour.
While they were downing their coffee five women arrived. They ordered separately and paid separately. There were three teas (two earl grey) and two americanos, one without milk. There was one scone (with jam and cream). They sat and chatted. There was another round of americanos. And one more tea. They stayed and chatted.
The men had sat in the conservatory.
The women chose the main tea room.
They didn't have a chance to see each other.
Should I try to run a speed dating morning?
