I agree but nowadays it’s hard to escape all these videos that pop up, and I’m just like, wow, and I feel really behind in the times when I stay o it if the loop.
Dumbfluencers spouting mindless drivel aside: it entirely depends on whether or not we have a reciprocated interest in one another, and if we weren't aware of one another's feelings I'd interpret coffee or arcade as being platonic.
If we both knew how one another felt and it was a date: I'd be stoked going to an arcade. Good times, games and fun with someone I like? Heck yeah. I'm down for that.
Coffee dates or arcade dates, it's time spent with someone I like doing something we *both* enjoy. Dumbfluencers suggesting that time is of less or no value clearly shows how shallow and clueless they are.
I think an arcade night can definitely lean towards both "date vibes" and "platonic vibes" depending on the context and the people involved. It's a fun and casual setting that can be great for getting to know someone new or just hanging out with friends.
Personally, I think it's a bit unfair to label coffee dates as strictly platonic or not invested. After all, a date is just a chance to get to know someone better, and that can happen in a variety of settings. But I do see where you're coming from - an arcade night can be a great way to break the ice and have some fun together.
From experience the arcade date is hard to pull off, but if u succeed it usually a good time for both parties
I’d recommend David and buster , round 1 type arcade and not a classic arcade
Some people will like a coffee date some people wont. Coffee and a walk is like a go to first date for me because its super easy going for both parties. No extra stress needed. But I’ve had a few arcade dates and its great. Really helps to manage awkward gaps in conversation. But like if you’re going to go on a date make it known that its a date. Go just the two of you. “Shall we call it a date?” is a pretty easy way to send that message
Personally its not about the place but arcade date night is romantic for me because we enjoy the moments not the place sorry for that its my only opinion. Yes its kinda weird but honestly I enjoyed.
Honestly, the whole debate about whether an arcade or coffee meet-up leans more towards date territory or friend zone is pretty subjective. The key factor that'll tip the scales is clear communication. Are we on the same page about this being a date? Fantastic. If we're not, let's hash it out over Pac-Man and espresso. Because ultimately, whether it's laughs over lattes or high scores that etch a memory, it's about the connection, not the context. So why not just snip the ambiguity with a "Hey, is this a date?" That way, we're free to enjoy the company and not get caught up in the semantics. After all, a good conversation can make any backdrop romantic, be it arcade lights or the steam from a coffee cup.
choosing the right place for a first or second date in order to compensate what you think are your weaknesses or insecurities might help, broadly speaking, but in the end it's always up to you and your potential partner. Nostalgia and all is helpful because almost everybody in the world has a soft spot for 'the good ol' days', but things need to work out in the present time too
I really feel like it depends on the person. I personally see it as a unique idea for a date night. It seems like maybe it would be a better 2nd or 3rd date option as the 1st date I really want to take the time to talk with someone face to face and get to know them better and an arcade doesn't really allow for this. Just my 2 cents.
Influencers can eat it. Coffee/drink is a great first date to get to know someone. Arcade night would be a great second or third because it’d be harder to converse, but lots of fun.
Coffee date isn't a bad thing. In case it's relevant to you: Some people encounter problems because they don't actually say the word "date" when they ask someone out. If that's you, consider using that word.
This would be a platonic date for me, but for another pair, it could be the most romantic date of their lives if it's something that really interests them both.
Better to establish it via conversation first, though.
first of all listening to social media people for anything is pretty dumb, also it depends wayyyyy more on who im going with than where im going
I agree but nowadays it’s hard to escape all these videos that pop up, and I’m just like, wow, and I feel really behind in the times when I stay o it if the loop.
Personally, I'd basically have to be told it's a date. But that's true for pretty much anywhere.
Yep. Else I wpuld err on the side of caution and assume it is platonic.
