JJ broke down the goal of a first date: to gather just enough info to decide if you want a second date. It’s not about figuring out if you want to marry them right then and there. Coffee dates can sometimes stifle the process of really getting to know someone’s personality.

‍

Here are some cool alternatives to the old coffee date:

1. Active Dates: Tennis, pickleball, hiking.

2. Public Places: Grab a coffee to-go and stroll through a park.

3. Fun and Games: Bring a board game to the park, or hit a par-three golf course.

‍

JJ reminds us to keep dates in safe, public environments. Think about making sure your date feels comfortable and secure.

‍

Bring some fun into the mix! Icebreakers, question games, or just choosing an engaging activity can make the first date a lot more enjoyable and less stuffy.

‍

JJ wraps up with some advice: Tailor your dates to the person you’re getting to know.

 Remember, the goal is to create a fun, relaxed space where both you and your date can really connect.

Go out there and crush it on your next first date. We believe in you!
