What do people do for a first meet? I am talking about social meets here.

A drink in a pub/ bar? A coffee? A pub meal?

Either a pub or a cafe.

I normally leave the choice to her - what ever venue she feels more relaxed in.

Are you talking about social meets for the sake of it or are you talking about social meets with a view 'appraise' for a possible sexual liaison ?

Usually a coffee in the park or down the beach, occasionally the pub (I'm not a drinker) as it's convenient.

Many people find it quite stressful, so if she's more relaxed in a certain environment then it one less thing to worry about.

I guess it is a bit of both, to see if we have enough in common to consider future meets and, within that framework, I also know whether there is chemistry on my part. I usually know that within 5 minutes of meeting.

For me it would be a pub ( but i'd have a coffee ) or a cafe. There would never be a meal involved on a first meet with someone from here.

my plan always is ......... one drink and go.

A meal with someone not to my liking would be arduous.

Ah, the meet wasn't virtual thankfully! There are various online treasure hunts/street puzzles you have on your phone and tick off clues as you solve them. Great way to discover new city mixed with coffee and food.

A meal is a long time commitment if you don't gel!

I'd worry that by being polite I'd give off the wrong vibes that i was interested

I'd prefer coffee /cake or drink in a bar... Both can become more if you are feeling the vibe

Just make sure you keep your safety contact informed of changes in plans /location

I quite like that environment because I want to experience that person in full, how they look, talk, their views on some things and ultimately if I can imagine allowing them near me on a more intimate level. I guess that works for me and I am probably one of very few who take so long?

Two questions from me:

1. Why would you think that asking the question means somebody could be socially inept?

2. Why would you say that asking the question suggests somebody is socially inept? Surely if that were true (the socially inept bit) you would not make somebody feel worse by calling that out?

Am I missing something?

A question was asked. Advice wasn't sought. If you want to know what other people do then you have to ask them the question you want the answer to, regardless of your age.

Ww generally go with whatever the person or people we are meeting are comfortable with.

We have done the usual pub/bar, cafe, coffee shop.

We've also done a proper meal in anice restaurant, a simple walk in the country, motorway services on the way to a club (wouldn't choose that again).

Anything that people feel they would enjoy and be comfortable doing.

I take your point about drinking but for me meeting in a pub means driving so I would not drink anyway. People I meet are at least 30 minutes drive away, so they are not drinking either (If they did I would not meet them a second time.)

I just like the relaxed atmosphere of an evening and a pub snack/ meal.

Exactly see my job is very dependent on me driving so drink driving is a big no-no.

And a lovely walk in the country park is nice I'm a very outdoors person. Every time I finish work I'm going to sit underneath my car port with a cup of coffee I'm a cigarettes and my beautiful dog. Relaxing and reminiscing of the day and what the future holds.

"Coffee shop more relaxed.

I never do a pub as I like both parties to be sober so they have a better judgement of the other person.

I just like the relaxed atmosphere of an evening and a pub snack/ meal.

I quite like a cafe, although I do enjoy a little stroll in the park as well

no funny stuff though

Exactly see my job is very dependent on me driving so drink driving is a big no-no.

Absolutely

A coffee shop or pub generally. Somewhere on a main road with an outside meeting point

Big group socials are also great for that

Normally meet for a coffee, it’s public and safe. Plus if you don’t get on, it’s also quick

Actually a good point - you could quite safely meet somebody there and if you find you do not get on that well, you both could also chat to other people.

Oh this is a fantastic expression I'd not heard before, I'm definitely going to start using it!
