    Spoken like someone who isn’t afraid of potential dates. Lol.

    No way I’m meeting privately on a first date with someone I don’t know. I’d rather be stood up in the restaurant.

        coffee instead of a free dinner? put that on your profile and see how many hits you get. I’ll give you a hint, it starts with a decimal place.

          If you’re not getting a date, I guarantee you, the word “coffee” in your profile is not the reason.

          Such a sad state of dating. You think it would start with interest in the person rather than interest in a meal.

          I’m no golden rule and I assure you, coffee date is on my profile. 1-2 dates a week. I’ve also had coffee… then some lunch… then dinner. All about connecting and not being a dumbass. No one wants to be trapped on a date that isn’t working, coffee or even just breakfast, is the best option.

          I’ve always done coffee for first dates, from dating apps, or otherwise. It’s a great, relaxed atmosphere for getting to know someone. You can go for a walk, or chill in the cafe, then, if things are going well, and you both want to go further, you can get a meal after. The last woman I did this with, five years ago, is now my fiancée

      You can just meet outside the restaurant.

      You just don’t go in before you meet them outside the front door.

      Hell, it can even be a chivalry test to see if he holds the door for you.

        Bugger that, I’m not loitering outside the door like that, I’d rather be inside.
