Why are coffee dates such a bad idea?

I don’t think they are for a first date. It’s cheap, it’s easy to bail, and it’s also just a good place to have a talk. If the date goes really well you can talk for a long time or even go do something else if you’re feeling it. But let’s say things aren’t working out, it’s easy for either person to just go. You’re making it easy on yourself and the other person you’re with.

A first date should be getting to know a person better.

I think they are a fine idea for a first date arranged online. That's how I met my wife. We had a coffee date that turned into lunch. Then there was a dinner date. I've never forgotten it. I walked into the restaurant and there was a woman sitting at the bar with her back to me. I thought "Wow, she looks terrific." I looked around the room for my date. Then I realized the woman at the bar was my date. Now she's my wife.

I don't think they are.. but if you insist to pay for my coffee when I refused, defo don't be trying to bring me back to your house like I'm supposed to have sex with you for some coffee bro LOL.

They aren't. At least not to me, I don't know what is going on with the world nowadays. Since when did people start disliking that? And why?

I agree. I am genuinely trying, but I can't honestly think of a single reason why a person would consider it a bad idea 🤷🏻‍♀️. It is easy and it gives a polite excuse to leave early if things do not go well since you already had your quick drink, it is also usually quiet, therefore the conversation can flow easier without external distractions such as loud music etc.

Who actually said they were? What is wrong with meeting another person for coffee, cakes etc in a nice open place, during the day without the distractions of music, other people etc.

Why do you have to ask your questions with your conclusion right in it? Can't you say, "do you think coffee dates are a bad idea?" instead of, "why are coffee dates a bad idea?" It's intellectually dishonest.

I don't think it's a bad idea. Makes it easier for both people to get up and leave if the date isn't going well.

They're not, unless you don't like coffee.😆

Most women do and I'm curious to know why

I didn't know that, it's good to know tho, I wasn't aware
