Is Brunch a good first date idea?

Question

Summeroflove · Accepted Answer

Yes, I think whatever both people agree to works. If both of you would have a good time eating brunch together then that’s what matters. Personally I think coffee is a good first date. If things aren’t going well, it’s easy to dash, everything is already paid for usually, and people can sit and talk for a long time if things are going really well.

Just focus on figuring out if you’re compatible. If maybe you are looking for different things or if you’re interested in going on another date

Anything you can do together and have each other's attention. Is a good first date..

I personally don't like the word date. Because then there's something that is premeditated pre-organized and a Time for both..

I'm more spontaneous. And would rather make something happen or a place happen doing something we both enjoy at the spur of the moment

Not for me. I'd wanted something adventurous out the gate. Saves time on future dates.
Riding bicycles to get a bite to eat or something. You find out a lot about someone in a couple mile bike ride. Do they complain, or having fun? How do they interact with me and people we pass? Friendly? Open and laughing or closed? Much better than face to face in a question match the entire date.

Yes, it's better than dinner at night when people just go have sex after dinner.

With brunch, you can go for a walk in a romantic place outside and get to know each other without the expected sex.

Just don't order the spaghetti 🙂
It's too messy...

Finchie40 · Answer

Yes it can be , it just depends on what their intentions are of wanting a early date with you? , The thing is you don’t really know someones’ true intentions. until you find out for yourself , so if I ask a girl out on a date for brunch? My intentions is to possibly spend more time with her , instead of just ending the night with her , cuz it’s getting late. So if the brunch date goes well between her and I , I will more than likely ask her to do something else with me after the brunch , since we still have the night time ahead of us. If I was just trying to fit her into my schedule? that would be kind of rude and disrespectful. So I am pretty much asking her to see her as soon as possible cuz I am really interested in her. , and I really want to get to know her and hoping we can possibly spend more time together if the date goes well between us , by getting to know each other more , since we have a whole night ahead of us. If the date doesn’t go well? than I would probably make other plans before the night is over , again we can’t read each others’ minds , all we can do is try. I been on a few brunch dates that went really well , we ended up spending the whole day and night together , so if the chemistry and connection is there between her and I , that’s all that matters. The more you get to know someone the better it can be.

The venue for a first date depends on what you want to accomplish on the first date. Do you want it to lead to sex, do you want to have extended conversation without any expectation of sex, do you want to entice him to ask for a second date, do you want a nice free meal, or what?

I think I know the answer but I don't want to assume that I am correct.

Bethany22 · Answer

It's a good idea, but does that mean there's less of a chance that it'll lead to sex afterwards?

Pinay_ako · Answer

Oh yes brunch! My favourite meal time! I like pancakes, French toasts and crepes and lattes! So yes please!

AviatorTom · Answer

Sure, public place, enough time to get to know each other. Enjoy!

Avicenna · Answer

Sure; it's really whatever is good for both of you

Bricealan · Answer

From my experience, it would be a GREAT idea for a first date! Can't think of a better way to get acquainted with a new person.

I had two much younger friends - they were a couple- and we met because I periodically dated the young guy's mother. The three of us went to Pelican Hill Resort in Newport, for a Sunday Brunch and it was fabulous time, and only wish I had been with Colton's mother

That said, the Brunch was a great time for us, and I think that is a fun, relaxed way to meet someone for the first time, informal, and always fun to enjoy a nice meal with someone you like.

SomothErgai · Answer

In my experience not really. Unless it's a fetish of yours, watching someone eat isn't the biggest turn on. And it's not really conducive to actually talking. Instead do something more intimate where you can sit close to each other and he can put his arm around you and have a casual chat over some coffee or drinks.

Or even go to his house and watch something on the TV That You can ignore while you make out with each other. Is sex an option if the date goes well? If so don't be afraid to drop hi at that you're down. Physical touch goes a long way to show a guy you don't mind being more intimate.

Secret6620 · Answer

🥪Omg yes! Invite please.💌

🌹I bring the best housewarming gifts for my girl brunches!!! We wear teacup dresses which are my favorites. They don't need a corset and there's more freedom to move around.

👗Loved this question! Most people have no idea that Brunch is even a thing lol. It's so fun too.

Overandunder89 · Answer

It's better than a coffee date for sure, but not as auspicious as an offer accepted for a true dinner date. The shorter the commitment of time, the less sure the person is that they even like you. When I was still dating, I never liked to waste time "testing the waters" in person. It sucks just that much more if it doesn't work out. We got a solid feel for each other beforehand over a phone call or two and a video chat. If a woman wasn't willing to give me that much, I didn't meet her for any reason. This made meeting in person a far less nerve wracking ordeal and made an enjoyable evening together far more probable. If you aren't even sure I'm attractive enough for what society once considered the standard norm, then that's already a bad sign. No need to waste any time or money.

Mr_twoface · Answer

Yes, people got to eat and food related activities for a date is great cause not only is it a relaxed atmosphere but also allows you to see the type of manners and respect they got towards others guests, waiters, yourself and how they go about eating in front of you. I've gone on dates where their rudeness towards others/waiters have clearly shown their character that it was it for me.

DishLady · Answer

It can be… if it’s either someone you’ve met a few times before or if it’s a setup with your friends.

Typically a meal is more of a second date thing. First dates should be shorter — a walk, a coffee, a drink — to test the waters and make sure you’re compatible.

bobalife · Answer

Why not? It’s cute and if yalls have been vibing good, it is better to build a good connection, impression, and romantic while not focusing on potential sex during the day if you want something serious.

But then again with modern dating… most don’t wanna do this because they don’t wanna be stuck with someone without knowing if they like them

b_lova · Answer

Ideally you want to pick something to do that allow for the two of you to chat while doing it. Museum Walk in a park or on a beach if weather permits Get a meal together A drive to watch the sunset Shopping, but only if the guy likes fashion Escape room if you know they like puzzles Dancing, personally I don't like clubs Video game arcade. If you know she is a gamer.

avery58 · Answer

I guess so. But the last guy I was seeing our first day started in the arcade and hanging out at the mall mid afternoon, then dinner around 5 or 6, then a movie which was an ideal timeframe for me and gave us enough time to spend and get to know each other a little more. But everyone is different

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

Yes absolutely. I think any meal can be a good first date.  You have time to get to know one another, and you have the added bonus if it goes well, to spend the afternoon together too.

slatyb · Answer

It's fine if you are already acquainted. If this is your getting with someone you met online, then brunch is too much. Meet for coffee and if it's going well, then go have a meal.

lmkimcurious · Answer

Coffee. Keep it short. If you don’t like him then you’re stuck till brunch is over.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

Sounds like a good idea to me. A bit better than a regular dinner date. Off to IHop you go! 🥞

Dongie · Answer

I think it's extra special, but I've not been lucky in cards or love so who knows.

boobliker · Answer

I love first dates as I put most girls/women off very quickly as I am blunt I will ask for sex, kisses, and what can you do for me. Before even thinking of food and where to go for it, smells and too much makeup piss me off as most of you don't need that much, and it hides the real you!

jazzyjic78 · Answer

I think it's awesome to have brunch as a first date because it covers breakfast, lunch and dinner... And if you're being a good girl go ahead and order dessert 😜.

Simslover92 · Answer

I think so. It's not as expensive as a dinner date. So if the date is not going well, neither parties has spent out too much money if you decide to split the bill that is.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Could be fun, yeah. I would be more receptive to that at this point in my life. I probably wouldn't have gone for something like that in my 20s.

PointlessNonsenseGuy · Answer

Brunch is fine, as long as it's not a buffet. You don't want to see the other person stuffing their face with sausage and pancakes that early in the relationship.

Nessie6 · Answer

Sure, I don't see why it wouldn't be. A date can be anything you want it to be and wherever you want it to be.

loveslongnails · Answer

It's not my first choice because sitting down to a meal doesn't leave you much room for an escape if the date is falling apart. I prefer a simple coffee or a drink at a bar so you exit if it's bombing. LOL

supercutebutt · Answer

Brunch is best saved for a second date. Do breakfast for a first date and then lunch for the third.

lilBigPotato · Answer

I like activities. Doing something fun together where you don't end up with awkward silence if talks don't go anywhere

exitseven · Answer

Yes, you will be in a well lighted public place. It should be pretty safe.

DJB72 · Answer

It's good for a first date. Less formal than lunch or dinner with the opportunity to have an extended time afterwards if it goes well

Paris13 · Answer

Yes. Gives Both of You a Chance to Meet and Eat and Talk. xxoo

summiter · Answer

Great idea... a public place, during the day and it would be fun to go for a walk afterward

molonski2 · Answer

Its great absolutely , why limit yourself to evenings? perfect.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I eventually came to prefer activity dates over sitting & eating or drinking dates.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Can be as long as it is not super noisy. Any place where the couple can talk and that allows easy egress if the other person turns out to be loon.

KaiidiraX · Answer

I like that idea, I have never had a man take me to brunch before.

CrabCakes11 · Answer

Yes. There is nothing wrong with brunch as a first date

Anonymous · Answer

I've always just gone for drinks - much cheaper and allows more talking

Yoursweetgirl · Answer

Sure. It's a public space and you have undivided attention unlike when going to the cinema, games or something else.

OddBeMe · Answer

Sure. If it’s from the internet, I’d just say coffee or a drink. So then there’s no meal you have to wait for if you’re not feeling it. A drink or coffee you can just leave anytime.

Flatmanlewis · Answer

I think it’s a splendid date idea. Great plan.

corruption · Answer

i'd say it is.

you could tie in a walk through a park afterwards, or plan to eat then go for a bike ride. or you could sit down and talk for a while. since your there for brunch you could talk for a while and also enjoy the daylight.

Alex-Snow · Answer

I think it is a great idea. It is low key and gives you a chance to talk.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

After spending the night together... it is :D

CriticalCatDad123 · Answer

No one wants to get up early to go on a date I know I don’t

nawtee_me · Answer

Brunch is always good. You get a chance to talk about favorite foods and see their manners too….

Anonymous · Answer

any brunch i've ever been to has been crowded and noisy. so i personally don't think so

Vegasrunner · Answer

No, typically guys should keep the 1st date under $10

handsomelad70 · Answer

It would seem so because Brunch sounds somewhat sophisticated.

Likes2drive · Answer

I don’t see why not if you both like brunch

Nerdvana · Answer

Yes, that's fine. For me it's not where you go, but who you are with.

7Phoenix7 · Answer

That's a great first date, sure.

Charliefretz329 · Answer

I prefer coffee. Easy casual and you can leave easy too if it’s no good

cattgearies · Answer

I would think so. Be yourself when it comes to arranging the date. In my opinion it shows the effort.

Anonymous · Answer

The one time I ended up going on a first date in the morning ended up being my wife so….. yes, unless you don’t want to get married. 😉

Con29 · Answer

I think is it something different than just going for a drink

rapfan107 · Answer

Yeah that way you got a chance to sit and have a conversation while enjoying some good food.

Nice222 · Answer

Yes my wife and I started out by going to lunch together.
