    Default Coffee or Drinks for a first date?

    So we had no idea this simple question would explode so hard and have so many opinions and I'm deciding to ask beyond which they would prefer.


    What is better for interaction on a first date?

    You could of met tinder, bar, library, school..etc etc I realize this might make a difference but in general.


    I realize there is many other places to go on a first date but let's just ask if coffee or drinks are better..

    Makes absolutely no difference if you go for a beer or a glass of wine or a coffee - nobody is going to get drunk on a first date (well, there's probably the odd story out there haha), so the drink could be beer, coffee, water, etc. and it won't make a difference. I've been on a lot of first dates and almost all of them were coffee or a drink at a pub/lounge, but usually a drink. Some people need a drink to take the edge off of an uncomfortable situation, so you'll find that's a popular choice.

    There is def a difference between going for coffee or a drink on a first date IMO..

    Not in my experience. I've been on dozens of first dates on and off over about 7 years. Zero difference in my personal opinion, YMMV. Never ran into a single girl who cared either.

    If you're after girls looking for one night stands, then things might be different and drinks would be the obvious choice. Most of my first dates have been just getting to know each other, so where you are and what you're casually drinking doesn't matter, since you aren't going to drink enough to have it matter what you're drinking. Everyone's different I guess but that's been my experience.

    I'd vote for coffee if you actually intended on dating her and not just having a one night stand. If you like each other sober then there is a good chance you'll like each other after a few drinks.

    Coffee feels very innocent and friendzoney.

    if she isn't comfortable having a drink with you, it isn't going anywhere.

    Just make sure its a nice place.

    The Vette better be FULLY LOADED if you want to even get the chance to FHRITP.

    number 1 way to avoid the friendzone. show intent.

    drinks at a dive can show your adventurous side.

    Personally I prefer coffee because you don't have a server pestering you. Since coffee is typically earlier, you can pull to another venue and continue the date if its going well. At a bar, there is generally only one venue you can pull to after that (which comes down to as others said whats the purpose of the date).

    From my experience, the ATMOSPHERE of the location makes a far bigger impact on the first date than simply what liquid youre having.

    For eg. if shes a coffee lover, then a specific place (like the Purple Perk) would be high on my list. If shes OK with drinks on a first date then a nice QUIET place would be better than some random pub full of people.

    Going for coffee is something you do with friends. Go for Drinks.

    Don't get hammered, but a few drinks to both open up a bit is a great way to get to know each other

    This. Unless you are looking for something serious. Not that it's impossible, but it's an investment in your future, and I don't get drunk when I invest in my future. With that being said... I revert back to what the good JRSC00LUDE said above, FHRITP. Treat them mean, keep them keen, rinse and repeat
