I gave you a journal prompt about this.
Now, it’s time for me to describe my coffee shop date. My ideal version.
We’ve had enough solo coffee dates; it’s time to invite others!
Let’s Get Into It
Who is this for
Rather, you’re inviting friends, coworkers, potential mates, or even old connections; this is for you.
Well, kinda sort of. I am writing about a potential mate, to be specific, but I’ll try to be inclusive.
Is it the first date
I am not mad at having coffee as a first date because not only do I think it’s better than meeting over dinner, but I LOVE COFFEE. Well, kinda.
I am a conversationalist, and I would rather get to know you over coffee than pasta.
So, if we were to meet over coffee as a first date, I would not be mad at you.
Now, when it comes to the location, I can toss out a few ideas, and you can lead from there, unless you love coffee shops as well and want to share one with me!
Will we just get coffee
I truly believe a great date isn’t overly planned, yes, show interest in me, and impress me, but I like those dates that end up being really fun and long, even though they weren’t planned.
Now, I am not saying we need to stroll at the park all day, but after the coffee, maybe let’s go to a museum, or a gallery. Visit a local shop, and grab lunch after.
Wow, as I type this, I realize that I haven’t really had a date that has given me a true example of what I like… Maybe I truly need to be surprised!

Bring an activity
If you’re only going to the coffee shop, come prepared. Have questions, you want to ask your “potential mate” or your boyfriend. If you want to know more about their hobbies or childhood, have them bring a tool of their hobby or an item from their childhood, and ask for a story about it.
Dress nice plz
Now, sure, the coffee shop isn’t a five-star restaurant with chandeliers and fancy dishes, but you can still look nice. It doesn’t have to be Sunday’s best, but it can be something sweet and chic.
What would I wear?
Let’s leave that to surprise; I would hate for my potential coffee date partner to know what I am wearing. Just know, I always dress like I have cool plans later.
Be ready to talk
I think one of the biggest keys to meeting at the coffee shop is not being afraid to talk. I don’t go out with anyone I haven’t had a conversation with yet, anyway, because that’s a standard of mine. I need to know something about you.
Be yourself, have some questions to ask, but don’t treat it like an interview. Just be you.

Are you ready for your coffee date this May?
