If you are an employee or a student, it is possible to meet someone at work or at school whom you would like to get to know better. It is difficult to get to know another person in these settings, however. At work, your boss is watching you, and you must focus on the duties of your job if you expect to remain employed. At school, you have to pay attention in class in order to avoid missing important information that might show up on the next test. If you would like to learn more about someone you just met, you may want to find another place where the two of you can sit down and talk. This coming weekend, you might want to go on a coffee date.

One reason to consider a coffee date is because this type of date is inexpensive. In a bad economy, a coffee date is more economical than going out for an expensive sit-down dinner followed by a movie. By saving money, you will have more money to live on. Saving money is not the only reason for a coffee date, however.

Another reason why you might choose to go on a coffee date is because a coffee shop is often busy but usually not too noisy. Therefore, the two of you should be able to talk. You can talk about your values, your interests, your family, and your career goals, for example. You can then learn whether you are compatible. If you discover that you are incompatible, you can end the date quickly. You can thank your date for a wonderful evening and then go home, where you might perhaps watch television, listen to the John Tesh Radio Show, or publish another article on your blog. If, on the other hand, you discover that the two of you have many things in common, you can take your time, savor your coffee, enjoy its taste, smell, and the way it warms you up. As you sip your hot beverage, you can get to know each other better.

This weekend, you might consider a coffee date. By waiting until the weekend for your outing, you should be relaxed. You will not have to worry about hurrying home to finish a paper, study for a test, or get to bed so that you can get up in time for work or school. You can then relax, enjoy yourself, and get to know your special someone.
