Coffee Date ☕️

Just ask him?

Definitely make it clear why get someone’s hopes up

El café Fiolizado es el mejor instantáneo.

Let make it as clearly possible 😊

Turn up in a wedding dress, see what way the coin lands..

I will always ask, is this a date? Why make things so complicated 😅?

I would consider coffee a date. I do, however, believe that it should be clearly communicated whether or not it is a date...

Definitely over thinking..............it's the company that matters oh yes don't forget the good coffee....

It's always been a date for me.

It is not a date, just a friend outing. If im interested in a date, I will bring it up. Now if she mentions it being a date when inviting me out, that's different😅

Logically it can be anything depends on the person, if you fancy can be a "icebreaker". God works in mysterious ways. I know cases where a coffee meet became a best friendship case or a marriage thing. 😉

It's more like a relaxed interview for a potential role. If you think it's a date it puts a lot of pressure to perform. However, just having a coffee as an ice breaker, it allows a more natural flow on both sides. Allow yourselves to be nervous before deciding to actually have an intentional date where you mean business. At the end, dating it's intentional for the role of a husband/wife, so take your time and smell the coffee...

It is not a date. Could just be an icebreaker, or even a friendship chat.

I'd assume it was a date or at least the potential of a date. I've only ever had one official coffee date thing though so I'm not sure..

I think it's a pre-date date. If that makes sense

Initially no, but depending on how the outing goes I do like to ask what their intentions are. What is simple for me may be a big deal for another, and vice versa.

I think so, it's a date. I don't know if it's necessary to clarify, because after all if you accept that coffee, it's because you took your time to get to know that person at least a little, right?

What if it’s not a date, but you ask them to confirm the date, but then you think they think it’s date when it’s not they were just inquiring about what day the date is on.

Yes 👍🏻 I think it would be the date but check and ask them if it is a date

I would assume it's a date

I wouldn’t assume it’s a date, it’s just a friendly hangout… with coffee in our cups😂

No, I wouldn't think it was a date unless we were exclusively in a dating relationship. It would be a friendly coffee meet up unless told otherwise. Hope "John" who I just messaged today sees this 🙏🏼

Talk about dating while having coffee with this person

I wouldn’t assume it’s a date unless he specifically said it’s a coffee date. I honestly like coffee dates when you’re still getting to know someone as I feel it takes the pressure off. Going to dinner or doing something “romantic” in the early stages is not really my style so I’d feel very uncomfortable.

Yes I would assume it’s a date.. And yes it should be communicated clearly either way.

With very little experience in the area, take this with a grain of salt. For anything I intend to be a date, I like to say "as a first date", or something similar. Not a fan of ambiguity. I also think it would be best to have spoken for AT LEAST long enough to identify a specific activity you would both enjoy, and plan the date around that.

My personal view is that it depends. For some people, the coffee date might be the best they can offer based on the amount of time they have, the amount of money they have, etc. I personally don't mind what the "date" is. It can be coffee, a walk in a park, a trip into the city, a meal. Each of us are at a different stage of life, so it will look different for each of us. Should it be communicated clearly either way? I think if it is, it can avoid some awkward misunderstanding and assumption.

I like coffee dates because it gives you a chance to get to know someone more before committing to a formal to me, date like dinner.

Me personally, It depends on the vibe they put out, you know if someone is interested and if it's a date or not for the most part. However, I'd never consider coffee a proper date. And to me, guys who opt for the "coffee date" first, probably didn't take time to get to know you, and if they didn't, I wouldn't go to coffee in the first place. And if they did make effort to know me and there was mutual interest, you'd better make the date better than coffee, 😂. I already drank my tea that morning

No I don’t assume it’s a date. It’s a chat over coffee.

I don't assume that it is a date. I use it to try to get to know someone as knowing anything takes time.

So a coffee for me is more about connection. Getting to know someone, i dont necissarily think of it as a date but a way in which to grow closer with someone, as friends, and then see where I'm at in terms of whether we grow closer. However, even going for a coffee can be difficult these days. I've had quite a few women reject going for a coffee. So, i dunno depends on the Lady individually i reckon.

The problem with labelling it a date is the pressure that can be attached to that and the awkwardness that can result if it doesn’t work out - particularly at church and especially as a guy. If you want to get to know someone properly outside of a Sunday morning, then meeting for coffee is a practical way to do so - it’s finding out the details that (in theory) you’d otherwise find on their online profile. I’d want to keep it low key and have a clear idea of who they are before it be a “date”.

In the past, I have made things confusing for others. Now I take the risk of being too blunt...I will specify "as pals, just touching base after a while", or "a casual date".
