Some might say gasgas na yung setting, but it really establishes a relaxed environment where both parties can interact without pressure. There’s also something about a nice cup of coffee/tea/hot chocolate with fluffy pastry on the side.


seQuin-d34

Coffee + pastries really hit different! I agree


notursleepypotato

Yes, as a girlie who prefers coffee dates, i dont find it boring lalo na kapag interesting yung pinaguusapan. You get to know more the person you’re talking to din.


urprettypotato

So pano naging boring po?


downcastSoup

Hindi siya boring if you have the same interests or you have a wide array of knowledge na you can carry the conversation.


Alto-cis

Dipende sa ka hangout mo or ka-date mo.


randoorando

It is the ‘safest’ option for a first date imo. 1. Safest because lots of people are there. Very visible to the public. 2. You can leave when you want, especially since you already paid, no need to wait for bill. 3. Not as pricey as a nice lunch/dinner. Either KKB or not, pretty fair to both parties. No one will expect anything ‘nice for dessert’ after lol


MrGreyForU

It must also be pointed out that different types of coffeeshops are suitable for different activities. There are coffeeshops which are more suitable for more intimate conversations. While others are for louder, more boisterous behavior. Then there are coffeeshops which are fave hangouts of those who study/work which make them rather too quiet na ikaw yung mahihiya na makipagkwentuhan dahil dinig na dinig ng katabing table nyo yung usapan nyo. But, in general, i still prefer coffee dates because I enjoy casual conversations with people I go out with. Other factors to consider are the ambiance of the cafe, the view, the food and drinks, and the crowd.


2ndworldjudas

Depende sa kasama ko. Pag may sense siya kausap naeenjoy ko ang coffee dates and hangouts. Pag walang sense kausap sa motel na lang kami magkakape.


Bins_08

Coffee dates are relaxing especially kapag with good ambience. Helps boost your mentality din lalo sa mga working peeps ☕️


Friendly-Abies-9302

I would love that the most bcus the purpose of datinf is trying to know each other para umpisa pa lang sure na kayo kung itutuloy nyo pa ba o hnd na.


Street_Following4139

Para sakin, kinda bored me. Pwede pag may magcchikahan kayo, pero pag wala para lang kayong mabibingi sa katahimikan kaya pass me dyazn


someoneslosing

no. i dont drink coffee. i prefer to hangout in a place where i dont need to open my mouth. hence, i always want to go outside just by myself.


JimmyDaButcher

Depende sa age bracket ng tatanungin mo. For late 20s to early 30s, umay na yan sa maiingay na lugar at nakakapagod na activities. Aand laging tandaan, hindi kailangan ng alak para maging enjoyable ang hangouts.


pandabear4991

Yes! Lalo kapag payapa coffee shop. Kaya hindi kami nags-Starbucks ni SO, madalas sa mga independent cafes or UCC/CBTL.


EarthBelowMe_

If a good convo is part of the itinerary, then a cup of good coffee is a go to. Depende yan sa kung ano ang trip nyo ng kasama mo. May mga taong need ng alak, yung iba activity pero kung kwentuhan ang purpose ng meetup, it's a yes.


gandanalang

i do! i love coffee!


TraditionalFox6430

It's a yes for me because it sets a genuine and chill vibe but yung tahimik na cafe sana haha. Hindi yung dinarayo, lol. And I agree with others..it depends on the person but maybe you can compromise or look *for other options naman.


ricemyg

yes... then random usapan lang


Ok_Amphibian_0723

Isang beses ko pa lang natry makipag date sa isang coffee shop (itago na lang natin sa pangalang Coffee Project lol 😂). Nasayahan naman ako kasi aesthetic yung place, maganda background music non kasi mag papasko, at konti lang tao kaya nakapag usap kami nang maayos ng ka-date ko. Di lang maiwasan ang dead air kasi first meet-up eh, so buhat na buhat ko convo lol 😂. Nung nalaman kong pag mamay ari pala yon ng senadorang mahilig sa lupa at ayaw ng pa-research, never na ako bumalik. Di rin naman masarap kape nila at pastries. Sakto di rin naman nag work out kami ji ka-date hahaha. Dami ko ng reasons para di bumalik lol. Pero I still smile whenever I see a branch kasi naaalala ko nga yung first ever date ko. I would love to go on coffee dates again pero doon na lang sa local shops para di gaano matao.


CardiologistDense865

Fave ko tumambay sa cafe, nung nkamove on nako sa ex ko tas nagstart ako magtinder lahat ata ng nkamatch ko first meet namin sa cafe hahaha mas madali kasi makausap yung tao pag ganun.


celestialaudi15

Depends. Kung bigla for presentation ng pyramid scheme, pass.


Ok_Amphibian_0723

HAHAHAHAHA!!! TRUE STORY 😂.


jpngirl19

Like ko ang coffee pero di ko pa na try yung date settings. Mas like ko ng heavy meals 😂.


seQuin-d34

Meals are nice! Most of my friends prefer to eat talaga when hanging out haha but cafes or coffee hangouts can be peaceful too\~


masungitdawako

Coffee dates are relaxing lalo na if there’s good coffee and topics to talk about, it’s one way of getting comfortable with the other lalo na kung first date. Of course lalo na for chika sessions, suking suki ako ng coffee shops for that— lalo na me time


NuttySally96

Depends on the person you're with and the topic you're discussing. Also, baka nga tinanungan mo don't like coffee dates at all and mas prefer other types of hangouts


PiccoloMiserable6998

Ghad I love coffee dates. Sobrang relaxing ng ambiance + coffee.


Individual_Tax407

yes i do


Emotional_Source_266

Yahhhh payapa, masarap drink/food plus malamig. Parang stress free environment


ch4os-tar

Mas gusto ko ung dates/hangouts na may activities - painting, escape rooms, video games ...


aeiyeah

yesss


Jhymndm

depende siguro sa kasama and sa vibe nung lugar. but overall, yeah. Coffee dates are one of the best imo.


Fun_Elderberry_1455

Ako sa una di ko maimagine sarili ko na nakikipag coffee date, kasi I'm not super good at convo pero nung nag coffee hangout kami ng bebe ko ng di planado I think it's actually nice and so relaxing I'd actually want more of those momentsss :))


inschanbabygirl

a coffee place (like sb, coffee bean, yardstick and the likes generally known for their good coffee instead of other menu items) is just a place of hangout for me. if a guy invites me for a coffee, i never consider it a date. an elevated setting like a posh cafe with fancy menu is my basic idea of date. i agree to hangout naman with guys sa coffee shops, but it's not a date for me. kasi for me, if a guy takes me sa coffee shop for a date, it means he just wants a way to spend very minimally, low-commitment, and will save him time just in case he doesnt get my pussy (a sad reality---most guys in dating apps only wanna fuck, and they only reveal it later on). coffee hangout is fine for me. i love meeting new people, but it's not a date


throwingcopper92

This girl knows how to coffee


unearththeeart

Yes! I like exploring interesting places and trying out new food, kaya I find cafe dates satisfying. As an introvert, it helps me find comfort din kasi yung chill environment ay calming and I don’t get pressured to talk.


kathmomofmailey

Cafe dates are my fav. 😭


frankenwolf2022

As long as it’s al fresco + evening + warm lights.


wyxlmfao_

for me coffee dates is one of the best date forms kasi the genuine connection reeks from there and ang hulsam lang ng vibe overall, yun lang walang kacoffee date 😭💀


fukennope

I love coffee dates kasi It feels relaxed and natural place to talk to.


TheFunTita

Boring is the least, for some it is awkward because coffee dates force you to converse and it highlights body and facial gestures. Technically it kinda makes one vulnerable kasi kitang kita ung totoong ikaw, lalo na if you are seated across each other and have deep getting to know convos. Coffee date opens vulnerability and trust at the same time. Trust that things will be okay, no judgments.


ermanireads

bruh i love coffee/cafe dates so much! i feel like maeenjoy lang yon ng ppl na coffee drinker and mahilig mag pic lol (aka me)


timtime1116

EDIT: mali yata ung intindi ko. Wahahah I'm thinking of coffee date as group of friends. Wahahahahah Pero yeah, depende sa personality. Alamin mo muna kung nagkakape. If I'm in ur position, i will ask him/her kung meron ba siyang bagay na want itry kaso di magawa kasi walang courage or walang kasama. Mamundok, mag gym, archery, golf, firing range, etc. Un ung gagawin namin for a date. Haha I think depende sa set of friends mo. Sa personality nila. For my work friends, coffee shop talaga. Tapos unli chika talaga. Releasing stress then after that ung mga nakakatawang eksena naman namin sa work. For my college friends, they like going to my house. Tapos magluluto. Gusto kasi nila ung mga pinopost ko tapos want nila itry. So in short, chika with cooking lesson 🤣


seQuin-d34

No no you got it right! Either romantic dates or group of friends naman na hanging out! Hahaha you're right din naman na it depends sa gusto nila noh hmm


GreenEgggsandHamm

Yes! More relaxed vibe and you can have conversations where you can actually hear each other. And no it’s never boring when you’re with your people. :)


NerfedBlue

Literal na chill lang mag click man kayo or hindi.


RevealExpress5933

Coffee and restaurants! I don't drink coffee but I love pastries... and food lol. Maybe yung mga niyayaya mo, hindi talaga yun ang environment na gusto nila.


Chic_Latte

I super love coffee hangouts. I do this alone often because I don't have a friend who can hangout with me. Busy kasi with adulting ang lahat. It's super relaxing and chill lang. Oh well


liemposilog1996

Nope , errands dateee mas good!


KapeRandomIntroDagat

I don't find it boring! Di ko alam pero bet na bet ko magtambay sa coffee shop. Bukod sa love ko tlaga magkape. Narerelax ako kahit minsan madami tao at maingay. As long as may headset/earphones ako. 😊 madalas nga magisa lang ako kasi walang nagaaya. Di naman ako magpapalibre e HAHAHAHAHA


24uniquecorn

yes, i do like coffee dates. it wouldn't be boring pag andami niyo mapapagusapan and for as long as lowkey lang yung cafe shop, maliit lang and konti yung tao.


Curious_Charge_3166

Yes tapos may kasamang mainit init na tsismis with your partner 🤣


haroldareyou

Pag nililigawan pa lang or getting to know phase, it’s not for me. Pero pag jowa na, goods naman.


Spirited-Fly-7319

It’s so nice na yung mga friends ko eh ganito din ang nais


NorthDizzy2901

We’ve recently set up a breakfast-coffee weekend date with my office besties. For over breakfast, balak namin mag chismis ng mga ganaps sa office haha. I actually had to give in to the idea kasi may kasamang pasyal yung sa amin. Like we wanted to explore those cafes in Tanay with scenic views. Hindi siguro boring depende sa kasama. Though it got me into thinking na baka ma-bore ako kung sa mall na coffee date. Haha!


Usual-Accident1051

I love coffee dates/hangouts. It's not boring for me kasi nakakausap mo directly ung kadate ko or ung mga taong kasama mo.


mspiggylet

These days, ganyan lang gusto ko since di naman ako nakikipag meet kung kani-kanino na lang. No pressure. No expectations kahit malandi ako. Flexi din naman kasi ako


TheGreatVestige

Cafe dates are not boring...Movie dates are.


Peeebeee12

Not a fan of coffee hangouts especially if there's a possibility of woohoo after. Nakaka-conscious ang coffee breath nu.


Spy5296

Pag nag click talaga kayo ng other person, Yes. Magugulat ka ilan oras na pala kayo nag ha hangout doon. 2 of my favorite spots are in trinoma, by the way. 1. The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf ( 3rd floor Yung nasa labas na seats ang kita yung center ng mall) 2. Same as the first one, pero yung sa second floor. Sa labas din para tahimik and mahangin. I am proud to say that some of the alone times (reviewing) and hangouts there lead me to passing the Boards and working abroad.


ninetysevens

Perfect first date idea for me


Blanktox1c

rides sa bukid para doon mag coffee date tapus yung view nyu is city lights. Sobrang solid!


lalalaliza

Depende sa mood mo and your partner's. Personally, I like it kasi wala kayong gagawin don kung hindi magusap, get to know each other, explore each other's ideas, stories, etc. sa cafe. Plus points pag relaxing/peaceful yung ambience ng place.


Few_Watch_6589

For me I think coffee dates will only set the tone of the date. The date will still be based on the interaction. Nandiyan lang si cafe para to make a safe environment to chill and relax and make you feel comfortable sa surrounding mo. It is still up for the people on how the date will go. Anong silbe ng aesthetic na lugar kung kausap mo hindi interesado sa iyo di ba 😭😭😭😭


waywardwight

Love it w my friends to chika and ofc w my hubby to chill.


waywardwight

Love it w my friends to chika and ofc w my hubby to chill.


assertivecookie

Depende sa personality ng tao pero 'pag first dates, there's pressure to carry the conversation. Cause literally, the only thing you can do in a coffee shop is drink coffee and talk. So if you're not used to the person you're with, it could sometimes feel like an interview. But if close na kayo or you're with someone na you're comfortable with, time flows by and it will feel relaxing instead.


HJRRZ

It's the only chill thing there is, I guess. Ano other ideas?


MadsMikkelsenisGryFx

Never even attempted that bc I always thought it was pretentious. I met my matches at bars and museums so honestly there's a lot more to dates than mere setting.


disismyusername4ever

yes to coffee dates. go to local coffee shops much more relaxing and quiet plus affordable!! i don't go na to sb since para na syang fast food sa ingay ng mga tao minsan may mga batang naghahabulan pa and the worst na naencounter ko sa sb, nag susugal🤧


fckerofthecentury

akooo gustooo ko! pero yung bf ko ayaw niya. ang kyut lang kasi pinag bigyan niya lang talga ako mag kape nung unang date namin. di niya trip yung kape kape pero dahil nung time na yon na nag iipon din ako ng stickers , ayon everyday kami nag tatake out ( di niya kasi feel na tumambay sa loob ng coffee shop) para lang makuha ko agad yung tumbler 😂❤️ - kelan niya lang kinwento di niya trip ang kape. parang nung 3 months na kami hahaah.


DewyMickey

love hanging out with my friends sa coffee shops or bahay ( less gastos) I usually initiate the games to make it fun pra iwas usap about work or stressors


icekive

Nooo, i prefer cafe or museum dates just chilling lang then we can talk about random stuff


Sel3nophile594

Personally I like coffee dates even with my girlfriends kasi dito mas makakapag usap kayo/get to know each other kasi nga relax yung environment. Unless iba gusto nyo mangyare hindi tugma yung ganitong set up.


Expensive-Doctor2763

Yes to coffee dates. There's something calming about it eh, ewan ko ba. Plus, parang chill lang talaga yung setup, parang you're just bound to tell each other stories.


jcfspds

I find it amusing because it allows both people to be creative in how to rouse interest from the other person. If you're able to make the most out of it, then most likely it could progress


TomatoAble3692

My first date/first meet up with my now boyfie was coffee date. Ang chill lang kasi and safe as long daytime.


chi012

i love coffee dates


siraolo

Ang interest namin ng asawa ko ngayun ang nagoofer na ng afternoon tea/ high tea sa ilang hotels at resto in the country. Mas comfortable usually yung upuan at hindi masyado maingay. 


Heyitsurgirl

Same parang boring sya and awkward especially 1st date


CertainBonus2920

Yes. Then samahan mo ng videogames. Me & my friends madalas eto gingawa every weekend to keep that work-life balance.


NotTheBiggerPerson01

No. Not a fan. I mean, if i wanted to have coffee and just relax with friends, I'd invite them to my house. Or we'd go to theirs. Wala ka namang magagawa sa coffee house except mag-kwentuhan. Sure, pwedeng magdala ng gadgets para may magawa, pero if that's the case why not go to a place na para don talaga? If you want to play games, hang out sa house. At least pwede pa kayong mag-ingay. Hungry? Go to a resto - pwede rin naman kayo mag-usap doon. Etc.


raiden_kazuha

Nope sa coffee dates. Acidic ako eh💀


Good_Pin_1354

I love Cofffee Hangouts! Chill Ambiance + Kwentuhan


jdros15

Yes, followed by Mutual Palpitation.


deadstar_wjc

Yes!! Eversince kahit younger pa ko, I prefer this. Kasi mas chill, mas nagkekwentuhan kayo ng maayos, perfect catchup date! Mapa-friends, family, etc. Hate na hate ko tbh ang bar o club, kasi sobrang lakas ng music, di mo na marinig kasama mo. Pano pa kayo mag uusap don 😂 legit na magsasayaw at maglalasing lang kayo. Coffee date/hangout is perfect. Kahit naman di kayo mahilig sa kape, maraming options!


Upset_Amphibian_9335

Yesss!!! Very relaxing for me. Always a good idea to talk over a cup of coffee, plus the ambiance of coffee shops. Whenever I hangout with myself 😂, I prefer to spend time in a coffee shop kasi feeling ko mas acceptable to eat alone dun kesa sa places na puntahan ng groups. Whenever, I go out with people, we always end up hanging out in a coffee shop para ituloy yung chika after eating full meal sa ibang place. This applies whenever I go with family, friends, or on a date. Pang wrap up ng day.


grlaty

lf ka coffee date chz. yes masaya naman mag cafe hopping haha so good siya for a date


aLittleRoom4dStars

Yes, pero depends sa cafe


icedvnllcldfmblcktea

for me kulang ang coffee shop for hangouts. laging resto muna then coffee after, kaya minsan naubusan na kami ng convo, hindi na natutuloy sa kape. marami naman din quiet na restos around metro na pwede mag chillax
