Are Coffee Dates A Huge Turn Off?! | Matt Monday
5/18/202618 min
What if one tiny dating decision was secretly shaping how people see your value?
In this week’s episode, I dive into one of the internet’s most heated modern dating debates: the coffee date. It's one that’s sparked arguments across TikTok, Reddit, and dating culture at large.
Some people say this common first-date move is practical and refreshing. Others claim it signals low standards, low effort, or even low self-worth. So…who’s right?
I unpack the surprising psychology behind why this topic triggers such strong reactions, how dating apps have completely changed expectations, and why many people may be focusing on the wrong thing entirely.
The conversation goes far beyond dating etiquette. It’s really about confidence, perception, emotional investment, and what actually matters when building a genuine connection.
By the end, you may completely rethink what makes a date meaningful in the first place.

[upbeat jingle] [laid-back music] Wow. It was so good meeting you. No, it was, it was great talking to you, too. Yeah. It was a fun conversation. Maybe we could, uh, uh, exchange numbers. We can... Yeah. Uh, yeah, I'd love that. I'm actually free on Friday afternoon next week if you wanted to do something then. Maybe get together and get coffee?
