8/10 – the breakfast date
My eighth date was recommended by a friend I accosted in the street one day (‘do you know any single people? You must!’). She came through with the goods, SM was recommended, and I suggested we meet soon over breakfast.
When I tweeted that I was off on a breakfast date the response was mixed – there was a clear divide between ‘morning date – what kind of hell is that?’ and ‘yeah – cool idea!’. But I like mornings, and I was extremely busy at work that week, and my date was up for it, so why not?
SM and I met at a cute little laneway cafe and had a good morning pow-wow over coffee and crepes. Among getting-to-know-you chitchat we bonded over bunnies and puppies, food love, writing and reading.
And then we wrapped it all up and headed off to our respective places of work. Short, sharp and sweet – tell me what’s not to like about a breakfast date?
A breakfast date can be an awesome second date.
Especially when the first date was the night before.
I love a breakfast date! There are plenty of excuses to leave if it goes badly & you have the whole day ahead of you if it goes well. My best first date ever was a breakfast date which ended up going for about 12 hours.
