A coffee date is ideal for a first date, usually for people who met online and would like to take the relationship offline. Basically, your online chat mate and you start out as friends, and if you are both into coffee, you can meet safely in a cafe. Some advantages of a coffee date include the lack of expense, the relaxed and casual environment and the fact that the place is public. One rule of thumb to meeting an online friend for the first time is to always meet up in public.
Care for a Night Cap?
Coffee time could also be used to extend time together, as a night cap after a night of bar hopping and clubbing. If you went out with a group of friends, you can isolate yourselves with a coffee date. This allows a recap of the activities you did together during the night and the conversation could lead to something more. This scenario is ideal for a second and third date, but for the first one, an afternoon coffee date is appropriate.
A Casual Date Over Coffee is Effective for Romance
In a coffee date, no one has to be dressed to the nines, purchase expensive matinee tickets or pay for a formal dinner. The ideal date over coffee is done during a lazy afternoon after shopping or in the morning while the café employees are brewing the first batches. A coffee date is non-committal, casual and centers around the "getting to know you" phase of your relationship. Flirting over coffee, in a public place, could be tricky, but it is definitely doable.
Here are some tips on how to flirt with a guy friend over coffee time
1. Sip slowly
Sipping a cup of coffee, even if it's an espresso shot, will make him look at your lips. Smile a bit and play with the fragrant coffee fumes before sipping. He will be watching you the whole time.
2. Maintain Eye Contact
Every move you make during your date is recorded and registered in his memory. What better memory is there than that of your eyes looking at him demurely the whole time. Maintaining eye contact will convey interest and even longing. Coffee is a low maintenance drink, you don't need to rush drinking. This fact allows a certain freedom to talk to him through your eyes.
3. Keep the conversation light and bubbly
Talking amidst a group of fellow coffee goers should not be the time to discuss serious topics. You should keep the conversation flowing with laughter and funny anecdotes. This is the time to get to know the other person and to charm him. Let your fun side shine through with your light conversation and keep him smiling at you for the rest of the evening.
Making a person fall deeply in love with you takes time, but all goes well in your coffee date, you can be sure that you are taking a giant leap towards a lasting relationship with him. Leave a lasting first impression and make him remember your coffee date as one of the best wholesome dates he has ever had.
