I'm sure this has been posted here before but being fairly new, I haven't had the opportunity to read your opinions on this subject and dating:
Typically how long do you wait to have "coffee" with someone you're dating? Do you just let the feelings go where they may and play it by ear or do you have a specific rule that you go by like "I don't do anything until after knowing each other for at least _________ amount of time..." etc. Or are you against pre-marital naughtiness all together? Just wondering... |

Depends very much upon the circumstances, but I have tried to get to know the lady fairly well before getting "coffee" intimate with her. It could take two weeks, or two months, depending upon the individuals and their timetables. If it is too soon, though, it doesn't seem quite as special.

I don't know, I don't drink coffee so I couldn't tell you. On the dating note, I think it is best to trust your heart and instincts. There are really no rules unless you want there to be, so the choice is up to you. I have a question, what is coffee intimate? I am not asking to be smart, I am asking because this term is new to me. Isn't having coffee a first date thing where you sit in a coffee shop and talk? Please enlighten me as I am curious. |

Wow. For someone who claims to have his hand on the pulse of SFV, whether he's here or not...
How can you not know what "coffee" means in this forum? Sounds like you're not as in touch as you think you are. |

I know it was talked about many time before, but bluntly put I tended to ignore the coffee talk since I hated coffee. |

Sounds like someones having 'coffee' thoughts about a certain 'hottie' !
 No set rules for me, and certainly not against it. If it's someone I'm interested in having a relationship with, then I want to get to know them better first - definitely a play it by ear & let your feelings go where they may approach. Do the day, and let the day do you. Wireman     |

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK I gotcha now. I was thinking it meant something similar, like coffee being a morning thing and after a long night you have morning coffee with someone, but I wasn't too far off. |

I like to wait a while....I'm good with lots of making out. When the feelings are mutual and time is right them maybe "coffee" -Tim   |

"Faith is sooo yummy!" At A loss for Words - NOT!  |
wow, i just typed a big long post and deleted it because i was afraid of hostile forces responding. that suc ks.
in a nutshell, i wait until i really want to, then wait a little longer. so if it does not work out, i dont have to be embarrassed and say 'what was i thinking?' If you think you can, or you think you cant - you are right. |

Remember this, no matter what mistake you regret making, it at least sounded good at one point! |

Well, I for one...love coffee and...."coffee"....
Now, about when to "drink" said "coffee" with that special someone....I have to agree with trip.... I say don't rush it. Take your time and get to know that individual very well,or you may very well resent making coffee with him all together.  "Coffee" just sort of happens when you're in love ya know...???? Shannon |

ugh....As a woman who likes "coffee" probably more than the average woman, I find this a difficult question. There's the struggle between my privately excruciating need for "coffee" and my need for real affection and emotional connection. I think waiting is probably better... Sometimes a slow brewed coffee has a more intense flavor..

Trust your heart and judgement. You are the only one in your shoes, you are the only one who knows what is best for you. Everyone has given great advice based on our own experiences, but in the end only you can answer that question for yourself.
