I think first dates should always be coffee/tea/snacks, etc. Super cheap, public, and it’s easy to talk to each other.
dinner, but literally somewhere cheap. i don't drink coffee/tea so food is definitely going to be needed XD
Dinner dates coffee is really cheap date that’s something you do when you already know somebody and you’re already together and you just want to hang out somewhere and it’s between lunch and dinner
Depends if it's an initial coffee date meeting or if it's past the initial coffee date meeting. If it's past it then dinner where the guy pays the first initial dinner date then after the couple can split the check
Before a guy goes on a dinner date with a woman he needs to know what her favorite food is first then plan restaurants around that to take her to
Coffee is less stressful; but I don't like coffee. So, I generally go with the dinner date.
Coffee shops have other drinks to offer and they have food too.
The only thing I have ever seen a coffee shop offer to drink other than some form of coffee is hot chocolate. Yet they always seem to do it wrong.
Getting pizza and beer together is my ideal date
Trying to get a girl drunk on the first date? Awesome 😂
ugh. maybe if your date is with a frat boy.
coffee or not even. a walk somewhere scenic or downtown is all that’s needed for a first date
Are you one of those light weights that can’t drink a beer or two with her pizza? 🤣
@DreamCrescent frat boy? It’s a fun meal to get together. A coffee or walking date sounds like something frigid lesbians should do together.
🤔
really?
i gotta update my first date playbook, then.
but pizza and beer, though?
has that really been a first date for you? it sounds like a stay-in/game day kind of meal. i cannot imagine being so casual borderline intimate with a stranger
@DreamCrescent do u think I’m talking about going to dominoes and having bud light together in an alley? 🤣You are aware there’s expensive upscale pizza parlors with imported beer on tap. I wouldn’t take a girl to a nice restaurant on a first date that just reeks of desperation. And a coffee/walking date sounds like an uncomfortable screening process date where a girl is ready to friendzone u but she’ll take any free attention she can get.
oh , wow okay. i don’t know what’s the difference between an upscale pizza parlor and a dinner date, then, i guess.
obviously you have had a very different dating experience than me. sorry i commented. it’s working for you so cool beans
I’m a bit different, honestly. I’d hate to get tied down to a dinner date. and the friendzoning thing is just a low key way to say “not feeling it”. could happen on any type of first date. maybe less likely after a date that comes on too strong (like dinner vs coffee) because of the guilt factor. but you’d wanna know that they’re not into it, wouldn’t you?
i’ve gone on a couple first dates for coffee. sat in a coffee shop, chatted, didn’t even buy coffee. it’s nice and casual and and actually minimal pressure. also been on a couple first dates that were just walks. talked about cars in one and in the other, the topic drifted around from clinical trials to karens to trump and then food. stuff like that. it didn’t feel like an interview honestly, but then again, it’s a first date. isn’t the point to assess for chemistry/break the ice/get ahead of turnoffs?
and i guess i may not be able to handle beer on a first date 😁
I think coffee is better it just seems a lot lower key and easier to get to know someone it's overall more relaxed atmosphere it feels. Ideal way to see if you would like to go for dinner at another point.
Dinner sounds so serious. Just let’s do something fun in the daytime or something.
Neither. I prefer to not go on dates. I prefer to stay single and at home with my cat where I’m actually happy
safer!
Not that you’d understand how that’s considered safer
First meet up, maybe second, I am not spending a lot. If she makes it past that, then we go somewhere decent.
If we are just getting to know each other a coffee date is fine with me. If it's a dinner date I always pay my own way.
there is not enough time on a coffee date to get to know them. Save that for once you know each other and as something different to keep change in the picture.
you don’t need to get to know them on a first date, though? way too full on to even try
isn’t the first date an ice breaker? casual thing where you just check for chemistry or lack thereof, keep it short and sweet and noncommittal
i wouldn’t go on a dinner first date. but that might just be me i have a hard time committing 😐
These days I'd go for a Coffee dates to start, and then progress to dinner dates if we are compatible.
Coffee date. Dinner dates are too expensive and if the date isn’t going well you can’t leave very easily
For I'd love a diner date over a coffee date. I live near a diner with good food, good music and great hospitality. They are also cheaper than a fancy dinner date.
Coffee shop for a first date, unless I've known her for awhile.
I don't drink coffee and I only eat to live. Fat girls eat for fun. Pass. Hard pass.
Dinner dates because they are much more romantic and personal.
Usually dinner but honestly I think coffee might be better for first date type situations
I like dinner dates much better. Gives me lots of time to talk with her, get to know her
@Pinay_ako Thank you for the Like
Still a dinner date for me
