It's a date. Even getting together for coffee the first time is a date. One person asked the other person out and they made a date to meet.
The purpose of a date is to get together and see how well you get along. It doesn't have to be an intimate dinner or anything.
The idea of drinks is a good idea because it's relatively inexpensive. It gives you both an opportunity to dress up a bit, but not too formally. And people can loosen up and have fun over a couple of drinks.
You showed initiative. That's good. Hopefully he'll ask you out then ext time.
A very simple one, but yes.
I encourage everyone I know to keep first dates simple. You just don't know if you actually want to spend more time with someone until after the first date. That is the entire purpose of a first date: "Do I actually want a second date?"
It's kind of what people consider as dates these days. But not everyone. Drinks are very casual. We do drinks with friends too, right? So it's not special. Do something special if you have been going for drinks for couple of days now. Something like a dinner with proper dress kinda thing.
For me, no.
I have a friend that whenever she wants to talk to me about her issues, she asks me to join her for a drink.
I don't consider it a date, I consider it just a good occasion to "refuel" myself with alcohol on her dime.
You asked him out to do something with you and he went out with you. I think that was a date. You can always say hey do you wanna go out another date, That I think would be a good way to let him know it was a day if you have questions about it
meeting at a bar or club for drinks is like meeting for coffee there both a type of precursor style date. because your not totally sure if they other person is on board with going on a normal date yet.
If you make plans to spend time with somebody with the idea of getting to know them better it is a date.
Nope. It's only a date if both of you say it's a date.
Depends, was it just a drink or you both agreed it was dating? If not, I would say you two just went for a drink, no dating but if it sounded like a date, then it was a date
Hmm, maybe not a date but he definitely thinks something romantic will happen.
If you were married and asked another person that, how would you feel then?
Yeah, of course drinks are a date.
