Sometimes , you go on a engagement and the person you ’re meet ends up eight yr older than their go out profile moving picture suggests and overleap teeth . But rather than bail ( the qualification was hard to fasten ! ) , you end up toast six White Russians to cope and then make out with this toothless ward-heeler in a stall before lead back to their sister ’s basement , where they last , to do by all odds unsexy sexy poppycock . It does n’t have to be this path .
Eating breakfast food on a date typically fall out the morningaftera dinner - and - drinking date , which is super uncomfortable . So here ’s why you should rip off that BAND - AID and just make your earliest fundamental interaction with a new person as awkward as possible right off the bat .
1. You’re not drinking so you won’t have cloudy judgment
Which mean you in all probability wo n’t end up sleep with that no - tooth round you just stick the date out with because you had nothing better to do since you ’re in that really unearthly time between finishing oneseriesbefore starting a new one . You ’ll be more clear - manoeuvre and equipped to tell if you actually like this someone , like , with real feeling and not your liquor learning ability .
2. You’ll know what they look like when you’re sober!
But also , it ’s kind of a double - edge sword because they ’ll know whatyoulook like whenthey’resober . Unless they ’re blind .
3. Breakfast food is easy to love
Going to a restaurant for dinner is a whole to - do . Just choosing a locale you both agree on is a chore , and once you ’re there , you ’re locked in for multiple , often confuse courses with names like sea buckthorn succus - marinated fermented squab that you have to clandestinely Google under the table lest you look unknowledgeable . Plus , each menu item will have you overthinking how you front while eating . Basically , you ’re fucked if you get salad – you will most definitely have green stuff in your teeth all the way through to dessert . Also , are you guys move to get dessert ? ? There are too many variable here .
But breakfast day of the month cut out the restaurant politicking because everyone likes at least one morning food , and they ’re familiar , simple , and not unremarkably green . Waffles , eggs , breakfast sandwiches , food grain , a goddang croissant ! Breakfast foods are the good . It will be easy to receive something you could both get down on , even if it ’s just a loving cup of coffee .
4. There’s a built-in time cap
In opposition to the traditional " drinks " format – which can go on indefinitely – you both will ( presumably ) have to go to put to work at some gunpoint that dawn . It ’s the pure excuse to leave if your appointment turns out to be an unsavory reference who still start high at O.A.R. concerts every summertime . If you do n’t have oeuvre to go to , however , there are any number of things you could say to slew the conversation forgetful , such as you have to feed your dog , you get out your oven on , or you have to go piece up your twin girl from their slag of a female parent ’s house . Also , definitely do this during the week . Wasting a weekend on someone raw is a garbage idea .
5. A breakfast date is less risky
If you go on a date straight from piece of work , you ’re probably going to bring a whole spate of luggage with you . oeuvre go down on ! You ’ll believably need a beverage or three to take the edge off the day . Inevitably you ’ll terminate up complain about that overpaid moronDon from salesthe whole time , which is not a in force flavour . But with a breakfast date , you ’ll be overbold off a good Nox ’s sleep and in honorable shape to keep the day ’s imminent anxiety from boiling up for at least the minute it take to make up one’s mind if you deal to see someone again .
6. Breakfast dates are mad cheap… or cheaper than dinner and cocktails at least
… Unless you go to one of those bougie - AF java shop class where an artisanal Pop - Tart is , like , $ 9 and then you eat three of them . But that ’s on you , man .
7. They afford you the time to go on two dates in one day
One in the morning , and one at Nox – each with a different person ! ! Tight .
