Dinner date

Coffee date

[TrueConfection]

I chose dinner date because I would prefer the quieter more relaxed setting over the loud rush of a coffee house. I guess it all depends on the venue.

[TrueConfection]

Thank you for the MHO ❤

[electromagnetic]

Coffee. I wouldn’t want it to drag on if I’m not feeling it. Dinner means dinner then walking it off. Coffee is coffee then I can leave.

[OlderAndWiser]

Dinner dates give me a good look at a lady and the effort she exerts to make a good first impression. It allows for extended conversation and is a bit more intimate than sitting in an overpriced Starbucks during the day.

[AviatorTom]

A dinner date is longer than a coffee date, gives more time to chat and learn about each other.

[slatyb]

If this is a first meeting, dinner can turn out to take much too long. I learned that I didn't want to waste two hours when someone when there was obviously no chemistry.

[AviatorTom]

@slatyb But at least you get to eat good food... that can't be all bad

[Pinay_ako]

Depends on the attraction level leading up to the date. If I feel the attraction is strong and mutual, dinner we go. If unsure, coffee is fine

[Lionman95]

I´d go rather go for coffe as a first date so that when we separate it´s still day light.

I´d also go for coffee since I´ve had better experiences than with a restaurant for different reasons. Many restaurants are expensive and they don´t have separate rooms at least not for two people. So they would put us in room full of other folks. If we´re talking about a date on a Friday night that´s not quite at all especially if there some sports event going on.

The other reason is that I got better options than Starbucks since there is a coffe rostery in a nearby city that have their own coffee. There are also some nice smaller cafes I know. It just seems more relaxed to me since I grew the traditional expectations of restaurant dates as something high class and formal.

[Alli39]

Caveat: Dinner is fine if I already know the guy to some extent, but I've like just met you it can be a lot of pressure sit down for an evening at a restaurant or something. But I'm also an introvert and tend to dislike more formal settings. (Though lowkey I don't even drink coffee, I just answered this more as a casual vs formal first date thing.)

[ChiTown33]

I hate coffee.

Whatever makes her comfortable I guess.

I had a woman ask me once out for coffee. I told her I didn't like coffee. So then she invited me out for drinks (alcohol). I told her I didn't care for alcohol. I think at this point i think she thought I just didn't want to go out with her. I'm not trying to be cute or difficult. All I'm trying to do is highlite the point that if you're going to ask somebody out you should probably have made an attempt to establish who they are first. This goes for men or women.

And before I catch flack I didn't say that to her. I thought it. I wouldn't deliberately let a woman twist in the wind like that. Even if some women do that to guys.

[BlackJeep]

Coffee. If you're just getting to know someone and you've some options going on 2 or 3 dates a week its way too expensive to drop a couple hundred a week dating. Coffee dates until you find someone worth spending money on. Otherwise you are just feeding strangers.

[Drumlin2001]

Coffee. Half hour is enough to know if there's any vibe, can go on for dinner if all going well. or can ditch if not going well.
I met someone for coffee when I was dating, turned into a 9hr date including cinema and dinner.

[Jemini_Crocket]

Dinner date. I'm not very fond of coffee. Dinner also feels better as in he cares more about you and the date. Also, I will not say no to food :D

[Sour-rose]

Coffee. I like to have a nice sip of something so we won't stuff our faces in with something new and rather, just have something to sip that's nice.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I don't know why but I perceive coffee dates as professional dates. Dinner dates, I believe give a more open to personal life vibe.

I have not dated yet. But this is my perception.

[exitseven]

Dinner. Even though I do not drink coffee I think having a "coffee date" shows lack of commitment right off the bat. If you are not willing to share a whole evening with me then don;t waste my time.

[slatyb]

Yes, it does show a lack of commitment. That's the point -- I want to meet someone before committing to a longer amount of time. If the meeting goes well, then we can move on to lunch or arrange another date.

[exitseven]

@slatyb If you cannot even committ to meeting me for two or three hours then that is your loss.

[slatyb]

That's how I met my wife. We let at a coffee shop asked them she asked me if I wanted more coffee. I said no. Let's get lunch.

[exitseven]

@slatyb so how long did you hang out that day?

[slatyb]

I don't know if I want to spend three hours talking to someone I've never met before.

[_SillyShoes_]

Coffee always - also a movie afterwards IF we already know each other pretty well - which I would hope we do.

[slatyb]

It depends on how well I know her. If it's someone I just met online, then coffee or lunch. If it's someone I have known for a while but haven't dated, then dinner.

[Pacquet]

I do coffee dates or something around the price of a coffee cause I’m not about to drop over a hundred dollars on someone I don’t know. I’ll save dinner for a second or third date after we’ve hit it off. Coffee is less pressure for everyone.

[Jacq_attack]

It's definitely a low key first date for me like going for coffee or a drink.

[rachel776]

coffee so i can scoot. we can always turn it into dinner if there's chemistry

[alice55]

coffee at least if something goes wrong if the guys is creepy i can get away faster and not have to wait hours before being able to get away

[DextroShade]

I would do the coffee date just to weed out the 1 in 3 women who are scumbag hoes who admit to going out with dudes they don't even like just to get free meals. Taking her out to a nice restaurant on the first date is for either dudes with fuck you money or simps.

[ShesRad80]

as we say in philly caw'fee

[Reem12345reem]

when guys take u on coffe dates they have other girls on the line and goes through them quickly , coffee dates are low effort and an easy way to go out with multiple girls

[slatyb]

So what's wrong with that? That's the point of dating -- to meet people.

[Nikki1989]

The coffee date. That way if it is not looking good it no big loss.

[dragoblack]

Coffee is always a first date so there's no going into it where either pays an exorbitant amount whether or not the date is good or bad. Dinner date i consider a next location for 1st date if it goes well or have dinner date as second date

[BoopBoopBeep]

Coffee. Easier to draw it to a close if it goes south. I hate walking out on good food.

[Coden7]

Depends on how well I already know her. If first meet, coffee date, but if we are already regularly talking, then Dinner

[SnowedIn]

Coffee. More relaxed. More relaxed=chill and chill equals better conversation.

[Jazzy54]

For a first date, grab a coffee. Much more casual and laid back. 😌

[LiamJHayden]

Coffee. If we click a bit then we can have dinner. If not then we part ways without being stuck together for hours.

[haiuyu]

Dinner, because more food. Not all people like coffee 😅

[JesseP1nk]

I would say coffee first. Its shorter than a dinner, gives some idea of a person and no need invest financially too much into it.

[Provingdatruth]

I don’t like to spend money on dinner on a woman that I don’t know because she might just want a free meal and not be interested in me.

[DannyUk2017]

In case we don't match, we didn't waste each other's time..🤷‍♂️😁

[Sparkie460]

A dinner date gives both parties more time to talk. A cup of coffee only lasts so long

[slatyb]

You can have a second cup.

[msc545]

Dinner. Coffee dates are like job interviews.

[andreasderjuengere]

Errrm - Tequila or Vodca date on the beach around lunch time?

[Christoff92]

Make that a date for a great conversation which can turn into a strong connection 😊

[Raaj4you]

I prefer to go on a long drive and have a coffee.

[Strong_Warrior]

Women who says "dinner date" are most likely gold diggers.

[BasedBaeBecca]

Coffee. Dinner sounds too formal on a first date.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]
