Coffee > fancy first dates
#lemon8contest #AskLemon8 "There’s so much debate about coffee dates, but honestly? They should be the default when meeting someone from an app.
Think about it: I don’t even know you yet. Why would I roll out the red carpet before we’ve established compatibility? Coffee is low pressure, inexpensive, and in a public place. If things click, we can always plan a “real” second date with more expectations.
A $100 dinner doesn’t make the relationship better. In fact, if someone spent a ton on me right away, I’d probably assume they were trying to buy me over. Coffee keeps it simple — just two people figuring out if there’s a vibe.
Do you agree or do you think coffee dates are lazy?





























































































I love a coffee date! My husband and I had our first date at a coffee shop. I agree, it’s low pressure and allows you to get to know the person without all the fluff. It’s low stakes if it doesn’t work out.
