5 Reasons a Coffee Date Makes the Perfect First Date

Almost every hopeful person who is putting themselves out there in the dating scene has adopted the opening line: "Do you want to get a coffee sometime?". Coffee is always a good idea for a first meeting because it happens in a controlled environment, and the caffeine adds a little adrenaline to the encounter. So, besides that, why does a coffee date seem like such a good idea for a first date? Let's find out! 

Reason #1: Coffee Dates Can Be As Long As You Need Them To Be.

A coffee date is ideal for a first date because it may be as short or as long as you desire. If you sense something isn’t clicking between the two of you, just guzzle your coffee, say a lovely "thank you", and the date will be over in no time.

Reason #2: Coffee Won’t Get You Drunk

People usually drink alcohol on their first date to loosen up, but it can sometimes alter their senses. On the other hand, unless you are having an Irish coffee or any other variant that includes booze, coffee is a more reliable approach to reality, allowing you to avoid any “illusion” caused by alcohol.

Reason #3: You Can Learn a Little About Someone's Personality.

When you meet up for a coffee date, you get to see how someone behaves in a typical, everyday situation. You'll get to observe your date’s manners (do they greet the barista with "please" and "thank you?"). As they order a drink, you'll find out how easygoing (or not) they are. You’ll be able to see how patient your date is when they need to wait in line and how they act with strangers in public.

Reason #4: Coffee Is Unquestionably Cheaper Than Other Options.

On a first date, it’s best to play it safe. Think about how a $20 coffee shop visit you can walk away from at any time compares to a $100 dinner you don't know if you'll thoroughly enjoy. It's best to spend only what you're comfortable with and what common sense demands. 

Reason 5: It's Perfect For Deep Conversations.

Imagine if you’re seated at a small round table with someone and only two hot beverages in front of you. What else can you do but talk? Nothing. And that might be a good thing. As a result, coffee is an excellent first date option because you're most likely to learn more about your date by getting coffee than by going on a standard first date.

In conclusion, a coffee date is cool, incredibly undervalued, and even if you don’t like coffee, there’s probably an option for you. Grab a coffee, take a seat, put on your favorite comfy outfit, and listen to the perfect playlist for a lunchtime or brunch conversation.
