| Successful Coffee Dates?
Posted: 11/3/2009 1:13:59 PM | Coffee dates are the Proletarian way to go.
And yes, kindof Soviet sitting at a small IKEA table.
A better venue is live music.
Meet for a drink at a bar?
Music in the park if you don't drink?
Why not bowl a few frames?
or meet up at a gun range to shoot some rounds.
Driving range?
Race track and choose each other's ponies.
There are POF parties and events.
They suck as a venue for bumping into someone out of the blue.
But are great for meeting someone first time.
I only go if I am to meet someone.
And did.
So won't be going to any more.

Is it even possible to have a successful coffee date?
No. It is completely impossible. You can tell because nobody - not one (well... two, of course) person in the entire history of dating - has ever had a successful coffee date.  | |

'If' you click...casually suggest going to play minigolf, bowling, an amusement park, something fun etc..(dutch- of course) ...If you don't click, simply state ' it was nice meeting you, I need to go, happy fishing'. It truly is very simple to do.
I wish you luck. | |

Posted: 11/13/2009 12:51:38 AM | I have to admit, I haven't taken anyone that I am interested in on a coffee date...mainly cos I'm such a coffee whore. Yep, I'd be the one with two or three espressos...you know the one...the selfish **stard in the corner reading the paper.
The women that I happen to drag into these joints never seem to be coffee mad, instead they'd have oolong , chai, and umm lemon tea! The nerve! Maybe its the old fashioned in me....a "date" is something you make an extra effort for, and coffee seems to be so...ummm, unless you happen to be a coffee connoisseur....too expedient?
First dates are usually straight into a sushi bar and watching their reaction to the magical properties of too-much-wasabi . Or the old fashioned dinner at the bistro or tapas bar. The coffee joints I frequent are sort of rough, off some hole in the city...always packed with no room to move, so a private conversation is out of the question....plus what's with the loud Cuban 50's style music lately? I love it...
I suppose if people are out on 50 dates, coffee dates would be practical. Its that quantity vs quality argument again.  | |

Yes I had one yesterday  We met for coffee and a muffin in the afternoon and had a lovely long conversation. This then lead to going for a couple of drinks in a nice pub i know with some comfy sofas and a fire going with lots more conversation and laughing. That lead to a really nice indian meal which followed on to the cinema for ice cream and a horror movie (she picked). Then i walked her home and said goodnight. And a fantastic night it was.  | |

Posted: 11/13/2009 11:37:43 AM | For me..coffee dates are for meeting someone from online for the first time. Since online dating is essentially pictures and words, I see don't see the point of over investing in meeting someone that you havent really established a connection with especially if the person doesnt live up to the hype they had laid out in their ad. Personally I've been burned too many times by first time meetings with women from online.
Now if I met the person at a club or at astore (in real life) I wouldnt go the coffee date route. At that point I know I'm attracted to them, I have some sense of what their personality is like etc. | |

Posted: 11/13/2009 2:06:30 PM | | I find coffee or tea dates very beneficial...I always make the conversation about her...I get her life story, her hopes and dreams for the future and especially the things that make her smile...by the time I know it, 3 or 4 hours have passed by...I wouldn't invite her to a coffee or tea date if i didn't feel any chemistry from the jump...I think guys and girls make it so difficult now a days...like if it was an interview...guys should listen more, and girls should let their hair down and relax...I've only had one unsuccessful coffee date, and thats because I was young and inexperienced...Good Luck... | |

Of course, we were both pretty in to each other. I think if you go in with the idea of 'well, it's only an hour, so if they're lame no big loss'... the chances of having a connection might be slimmer. | |

None that I have found have left me feeling good! It seems to kill all chemistry. I want to be doing something, going somewhere and not drilling through the other person with my eyes and words! lol
I want to be drilled, but not over coffee...! | |
