Break the Norm! Head out For Breakfast Dates

February 16 - Written by Crystal Andino


For some reason, we've got the idea that dates only have to be at night at a restaurant or a bar. You have to get dressed, put makeup on, and wear something exquisite and uncomfortable. 

First dates are awkward and stressful as it is. The anticipation of meeting your potential partner at night at a restaurant adds an extra level of pressure. Consider a breakfast date if you want to get rid of the stress and enjoy a casual first date. 

Here are some reasons you should go on breakfast dates more often:

SHORTER TIME COMMITMENT 

First dates are uncomfortable and awkward. Dinner dates usually can go for hours, while breakfast dates inevitably mean shorter time commitments. It's an excellent way to meet people for the first time when you're unsure of how things will go.

LESS PRESSURE

Another reason you should opt for a breakfast date is that compared to dinner dates, you don't have to dress fancy or look your best. You can wear something comfortable and get to know each other. 

Wearing an uncomfortable outfit can make you look tense and stiff. Breakfast dates will lift the pressure, making things much easier for both parties.  

CHEAPER AND CASUAL  

Breakfast meals are relatively more affordable than a fancy dinner date at an expensive restaurant, usually a three-course meal. 

Breakfast meals include fruit, pancakes, salads, and beverages, but the price is affordable and easily predictable. 

STARTING THE DAY OFF FRESH 

You can start your day fresh with your breakfast date. If things go well, you'll have a great day ahead of you. If things don't go as you expect them to, that's one thing off your list on that day. You also have the entire day ahead of you to get everything else done. 

LACK OF UNCERTAINTIES 

Dinner dates are often unpredictable and accompanied by uncertainties. You can't predict how your day at work will go. You can be exhausted or in a bad mood, negatively affecting your date. There's also an added pressure of how the date will end and whether or not you should take it further.

On the other hand, breakfast dates are pre-planned with a likely assumption that you both have plans for the rest of the day. Discussing your plans for the day is also a great conversation point. 

BREAKFAST DATES ARE LIGHTHEARTED 

Breakfast in a relaxing environment with a gorgeous view can relax both parties. This makes it easier for them to be open and honest.
