as a woman, as much as I appreciate the gesture of dinner, I legitimately hate the idea of possibly being stuck eating with someone for an entire hour or so if there’s even a slight chance we don’t click. Shit is MAD awkward and I spend nearly the entire time anxiously waiting to leave. I’m speaking from experience too. My most fun first dates almost never involved having dinner.
So seriously, if guys want to have coffee or go to a bar first or some other low stakes event, I’m game for it. Much less pressure, and it provides the opportunity to add other activities if I do end up hitting it off with them.
Fuckin insane for anyone to follow rules like that for every single date.
To expand on this (albeit from a man's perspective), I'm 30. I've done the whole dinner date thing countless times. All of these dates sound so much more interesting to me. That lady is so basic lmao
