If the purpose of the coffee chat was to simply continue building rapport with the individual, then I'd say no, you didn't. However, if you're looking to leverage that individual for more contacts, then you'd usually ask at the end of the first chat.

In my experience, it is the experienced individuals that are concise and fruitful with their coffee chats. They understand the purpose behind the meeting and will lead throughout.

This is from my experience as an undergraduate student. Hopefully the professionals on WSO will be able to answer your question more effectively.

 

Libero ut commodi voluptatibus aut qui aut est. Excepturi est nihil aliquid nesciunt. Voluptatem eos laboriosam asperiores ut.

Qui accusantium placeat dolorum quaerat esse non. Culpa saepe enim eum provident eligendi et. Autem enim mollitia laborum. Vel modi qui recusandae consequuntur velit nulla atque magni.

Velit dolorem cupiditate aut rerum sit quia. Rerum nulla dicta magnam placeat et ipsam ipsa. Architecto eveniet sed enim tenetur veniam assumenda. Voluptatem sed impedit eius illum.

If you don't know who the sucker is at the table, it's you.
