Coffee Dates SUCK

[u/deeznutzzzzzz6]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I thought the whole point of a coffee date (usually first date) was intended for low pressure and emotional energy? It’s perfect because if things work out you can plan something more extravagant on date 2 but if the vibes aren’t there you can exit quickly. It makes me wonder what else she refuses to apologize for lol

They want free shit and they are using dating apps to get free shit of course they're upset

"what do you MEAN you don't want to spend $120 on lunch and activities on a first date investing in a stranger who will probably effing ghost you immediately afterwards? I PLAYED WITH MY HAIR AND MAKE UP I AM WORTH IT REEEEEEEEE!"

Hey, if they want a free shit then they should love a coffee date.

If a woman engages and puts a lot of effort into our conversation, she gets a dinner date no problem. If I get one word and short responses, coffee date or facetime call is all I am willing to do.

I’ll never understand why some people hate coffee dates. I think they’re perfect for a first date. But like you said, everyone has their own opinions on it.

See, I don't mind people having preferences, it's the fact that their preferences are enveloped in bullshit like "coffee dates are cheap and men should stop whining about women not liking them."

Just say, "I prefer dinner dates." That's it. 

Like, why is that so hard?

I like coffee dates and walking dates and dessert dates. For all the reasons you listed -- fun, no pressure, low risk, etc. Don't have to even mention hating dinner dates or insult people who like them.

Coffee is kind of meh, I prefer a nice wine bar. No dinner on first meet though unless I’m really feeling it!

I think coffee dates suck and i still think this is a negative and unlikable prompt. She can just decline coffee dates and suggest something else if she doesn’t like them nbd

Had a first date at a coffee shop recently. I brought along one of those new age card games and we had a blast.
