When it comes to planning a first date, it’s always a challenge. It’s not always an easy task to come up with a good first date idea, yet first dates set the stage for future relationships. So what do we do? Well, we’ve got the perfect solution for you – a coffee date!
You cannot tell whether your date is more of a fine dining person or prefers a stroll in the garden, so a coffee date is your best bet. When you meet someone for the first time, a coffee date is a pleasant way to get to know them. A small, cozy cafe with delicious coffee is the perfect place to start a romantic relationship. Aside from that, asking for a coffee date isn’t wimpy or bold; it’s neither too heavy nor too clumsy.
Have you got a first date coming up? These 6 reasons make coffee dates a fantastic first date idea!
1. You can break the ice with a coffee date!
The first time you meet someone, especially if you are reserved, can be a difficult experience. We understand how intimidating it can be to open up to a stranger. A good ice-breaker should be part of every first date. Isn’t it? Getting coffee with someone for the first time helps you with the initial small talk of choosing your coffee and ordering it. For an extrovert, this may seem irrelevant, but for someone with social anxiety, it might be a wonderful idea to start a conversation with a latte or cappuccino. By discussing what kind of coffee you’ve ordered, you can then move on to what kind of drinks you prefer, and before you know it, the date has started.
2. It gives you insight into their personality.
Coffee orders reveal a lot about a person’s personality. Drinks are often chosen based on what people would like to be seen holding. That’s good news because it tells us a lot about them! Would your date order a black coffee? These are the people who would rather work than go to a Vegas party. With a strong sense of responsibility, they’re driven and determined. Their desires are clear and they aren’t afraid to pursue them. What a pleasure to have a black coffee colleague, not just as a colleague, but as a partner as well!
3. Coffee dates aren’t expensive.
Coffee dates are always a wise choice if you are unsure of the person you are meeting on a first date. Also, there is no need to break the bank with this date idea. If you don’t know if you’ll see them again, taking them out for fancy dinners doesn’t sound very realistic or practical. You should date casually until you want to see more of this person. You can find plenty of cafes that offer cheap and delicious coffee in an aesthetic and cute setting.
4. Coffee dates don’t require fancy outfits.
Do you often ask yourself or your best friends what outfits to wear on a date? Do you find the idea of dressing up for a guy ancient and ridiculous? The simplest way to avoid drama is to go on a coffee date. For a coffee date, there is no ‘right’ outfit! The best thing about a coffee date outfit is how little effort it takes. All you need are your regular jeans and a cute top with a fancy neckline. If it’s comfortable, a cute little dress would be ideal. Choosing an outfit for a coffee date doesn’t have to be themed; just wear something that suits your personality, you’re comfortable in, and accessorize lightly – you’ll look great!
5. It’s easy to leave if you don’t feel the date.
Is this date making you miserable? You do not have to worry about it since a small cup of coffee doesn’t take too long to consume. When you’re not feeling it, just finish it, tell them you’re done, and leave.
6. Conversations go well with it.
The two of you are sitting at a small, round table with just two hot drinks. Is there anything better than chatting? No. It’s for this reason that coffee is an ideal first date. When you go on a first date, it’s about getting to know someone better outside of the constraints of how you met – online, through an app, through a friend, etc. Now, it’s time to meet in person to see what happens next. Taking someone out to coffee is likely to reveal more about them than other traditional first date ideas. As I mentioned, that’s all you can do.
Although there is a wide range of choices and ideas available, youth today tend to favor a coffee date. And we’re stans of that! Fresh coffee paired with a cute dessert screams romance to us. I hope that after your first date, you will start brewing something! Let me know how your first date went, so I can let you know what to expect next.
