First things to note, I鈥檝e never been on a blind date. And I haven鈥檛 known anyone personally who鈥檚 been on a blind date. But I have watched a lot of blind date shows and I think it鈥檚 pretty cool and exciting for the most part, not seeing someone鈥檚 face and deciding to be with them based on their personality, the things they say and how they respond. Especially since the body and all of that have become so idolized that people lose track of what really matters. We鈥檙e not going into that today though.
So, like I said in the beginning, I鈥檝e never been on a blind date. But I at least know coffee, and happen to love coffee too so I immediately jumped when I saw this prompt and had most of these questions pop up in my head at the beginning instance.
The first one would obviously be, do you like coffee? It鈥檚 not enough to judge someone based on this but of course, it鈥檚 necessary to know how the person feels about this since there鈥檚 a potential plan for this person to be your date. And if the answer is yes, I鈥檇 proceed to the next one which I think is usually what follows the first question.
How do you take your coffee? Do you have any preferences in the preparation or drinking or both? This is a necessary question in my opinion. I like my coffee moderately hot and usually with milk and a little honey. But he may his with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. I have a friend who鈥檚 preferential to nutmeg in his coffee. Or he may prefer almond milk or oat milk in his coffee to regular milk or cream. He may like drinking only from a particular mug or prefer cold brew to any other brewing method. The possibilities are endless.
What鈥檚 your go-to coffee shop order? It鈥檚 necessary to ask this because we all have that one drink type, coffee flavour that would mostly always be the first choice when we鈥檙e in a rush or we just want to chill. And when he answers that, I鈥檇 ask how he came to discover that this is his favourite. Coffee plus a good story would definitely have me hooked, so yeah.
The next question would probably be if he would rather enjoy his cup of coffee alone in a cozy cafe or share it with someone special in a scenic, outdoor environment. I鈥檝e got to know what this person鈥檚 coffee ritual is. Or how strictly he takes to drinking his coffee. A lot of people may be more casual about it but then some others are strictly alone, by the balcony facing the rising sun and so on.
A bit more on the fun side, I would ask him, if you were a type of coffee, what would you be and why? I mean, I wouldn鈥檛 bat an eye in choosing to be a mocha. For obvious reasons. Who wouldn鈥檛 be thrilled by such chocolatey goodness? But then his could be a regular espresso, or worse. Hehe. On a side note, I鈥檇 personally be looking forward to what his answer would be. Not sure why.
Last but not least...I mean I could go on forever to questions like, what鈥檚 your favourite coffee memory or if you would drink one type of coffee for the rest of your life, which would it be? But I think my final question, due to the nature and purpose of the show would be to describe his ideal coffee date. What would we do? Where would we go? What would we eat on the side and all of that.
With the way I鈥檝e gotten this all down, I think I should definitely go on a coffee-themed blind date soon enough. Or what do you think? Anyways over to you guys. Are there any other coffee-themed questions you feel should be here that I missed? Spill the beans!
