Is coffee considered a date?

[oceanlover29]

Do you guys consider it a date if a girl asks you to grab a coffee sometime or do you perceive it as more casual - maybe even just wanting to be friends?

Depends what you call a date.

Coffee is a way of spending time with someone in an informal setting, for the purposes of getting to know them better or just catching up if you already know them.

I've had coffee with girls who ultimately weren't looking for more than friendship. In each case, I wondered if they were interested in me, but I think you'd wonder that regardless of having coffee if you don't know what their intentions are.

Yeah. If you don't usually hang out and your not working on school work or making a business contact. Then its probably a date. Did he pick you up? What did you wear? What was the topic of conversation?

[oceanlover29]

No I just asked him over email and now I kinda regret it because I think its too forward

[PrityNpink]

How do you know him? Do you like him?

[oceanlover29]

know him from a placement. yes I like him as a person

[PrityNpink]

I don't know what a placement is, but your tone leads me to believe this is not a date. So, don't worry. Your non-verbal cues should tell him enough and enjoy your time with a friend.

I'd consider it a date if I don't know her.
