The last girl I dated we went for drinks on our 1st date.
I just enjoy the relaxed atmosphere you can create and it's easier for her to open up in that environment.
Also, there's no specific time limit for drinks. It could either be 30mins or 3 hours depending on how well you both connect. Whereas with coffee, it could never be longer than an hour, really.
With drinks, You can travel to different locations after you've grown bored of your original meetup spot. This keeps things freah and she's more likely to remember the date.
You can't really travel around to different places if you're having coffee- instead you are limited to one specific coffee shop.
Coffee is great. Don't get me wrong I would utilize it occasionally for a midweek meetup. But certainly not as a first date choice.
I would never let it get past 2-3 drinks, because being drunk isn't acceptable. Walking the girl to a taxi afterwards is always a romantic way to end the date.

I don't like coffee, and I don't drink anymore. I like going to a pet store or shelter to play with fuzzy buddies.
If I had to choose between coffee or drinks, I'm a cup of coffee kinda gal as I dislike talking in a crowded bar/pub, drinks can get pricey for a first date, I don't care to share information that I find should be shared on a later date if I become tipsy.
Since the was an option for "neither" however, I chose that. As I prefer a first date that gets you out of your comfort zone but also allows chatting. A hike/walk through a community park, shooting pool, heading to a batting cage... etc.
Coffee date. I don't drink alcohol. ( I dislike the taste now ) So I wouldn't appreciate going out to a bar for a date
Going for a coffee is less formal , and the atmosphere is more relaxing
If a guy i liked asked if I wanted to meet up for coffee, I'd be more inclined to say yes. But considering I don't drink and i dislike bars , I'd decline the offer if he asked me if I wanted to go out for a drink
I prefer to be more alert than inebriated on any given day. I'd prefer a coffee date.

I don't drink alcohol or coffee, so neither would be my first choice.
Right now? None.
Reason: Something that has just happed to me 3 weeks ago.

Translation:
Me: "Hey what if we hang out to go drink something one day?"
Her: "No."
I met her while studying the same subject on September.
When I said that to her, we already where in the middle of a pleasurable conversation.
Yes, she blocked me immediately after that.I've learned that when I have drinks on a first date, I talk too much about myself and seem self-absorbed, but it's really single-parent-gets-to-be-an-adult-for-once syndrome. So I'm strictly determined to keep it alcohol free.
Drinks, but time and location is more important than what you're drinking. You have afternoon coffee with business pros and old acquaintances so you can look forward to doing better things later. A night date is something to look forward to throughout the day.
It really depends.. I don't think I can say one is better than the other, it's really more about the dynamic of the relationship.. depends on that I guess you could
nevertheless, I think drinks are nice because it shows we can potentially let loose and kinda put those guards down... however coffee is just more versatile and more applicable. You can have a coffee for 30 mins almost anytime of the day for many reasons...Hot chocolate and cookies or pie or some other dessert... if you like him, you'll be spending most of your time sober, so get to know him sober first.
I offer. When I'm in a communication and trying to decide what to do for our first date, I ask, 'how about sum thing to drink? Jamba juice, coffee or beer?' What ever she decides let's me know who she is. And I approach with that mentality. So... Choose right ladies... Or you'll end up being my next ex. Lmao
I prefer getting nonalcoholic drinks first because it's usually during the daylight hours, you both are clear minded and not drawing incorrect conclusions, and if it goes well/ poorly you can continue/ end the date accordingly
I guess coffee. But i dont see it as a date. Actually, now I have a question! If a really social guy meets me through a group/mutual friend thing, we talk a bit, asks for my number, and then sets a day for coffee with me... is this a date? Its hard to tell when its coming from someone really extroverted I just thought it was to chat and stuff.
If it's my First Date 💕 it's got to be romantic 😍, & it's the DRINKS 🍻 that would open up HEARTS 💘 better on this day (maybe more too 😉). As for Coffee, I do love it, but mostly with friends & family. But, not on a Date. 💟 Cheers.
Drinks. Much more relaxing than caffeine for a first date.
Coffee. I prefer coffee than alcohol coz i might do something crazy if i'm drunk😅
I don"t drink any coffee or any alcohol. A cup of hot chocolate or some fizzy drinks...
I'd go with tea or coffee, it's less formal. If it's drinks that means I'm on the hook to pay for the rest of the evening, there's nothing worse than having to pay out money and it turns out she doesn't like you. I've never met a woman who was prepared to pay for anything on a date.
Well I mean it depends on what type you're wanting to attract, drinks numb the senses but can also disguise the persons personality for better or worse lol Whereas a sober person can give you a better idea of how they are on average.
It depends, if they are shyer and more friendly and sensitive coffee is a good way to go, but if they are more outgoing and flirtatious then drinks are a good way to go, but if they are a mixture of both then coffee
I don't like coffee and drinks are expensive.
I'd rather get a boba.Cuppa tea mate, or a hot chocolate, they're warming and relaxing whereas coffee is filled with caffeine, I have ADHD so coffee would be the last thing I would want on a date.
drinks. even one beer tends to help loosen people up a little so they don't feel the need to impress. either you get along or you don't, no need to fake a connection by being "this person"
Coffee or Tea only on a first date.
No alcohol ever on a first date as it numbs the persons senses and they they start lying and bullshitting you!!!
