It occurred to me recently that I’m just not a “sit down at a cafe/restaurant as a first meet” type of person. I can’t think of anything that makes me feel more awkward than sitting in what feels like such an intimate setting with someone I don’t know. I have pushed through the discomfort of this my whole life because it’s considered the “norm”… everyone goes to a cafe/restaurant on a first date, right?
Over the last few years I’ve actually come to suggest a coffee and a walk along the beach or something along similar lines. Moving my body makes me feel way less put on the spot, and kind of allows for a bit more privacy in conversation too. I often find having these things allows everything to flow that bit more naturally. It also helps remove pressure from the possibility of awkward moments/lapses in conversation. What say you? Do you still prefer the more traditional method of meeting up with others? Or have you stepped away and created your own ways in which you go about experiencing that first (in-person) encounter? |
