First things to note, I’ve never been on a blind date. And I haven’t known anyone personally who’s been on a blind date. But I have watched a lot of blind date shows and I think it’s pretty cool and exciting for the most part, not seeing someone’s 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’re not going into that today though.
So, like I said in the beginning, I’ve 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’s not enough to judge someone based on this but of course, it’s necessary to know how the person feels about this since there’s a potential plan for this person to be your date. And if the answer is yes, I’d 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’s 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’s your go-to coffee shop order? It’s necessary to ask this because we all have that one drink type, coffee flavour that would mostly always be the first choice when we’re in a rush or we just want to chill. And when he answers that, I’d 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’ve got to know what this person’s 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’t bat an eye in choosing to be a mocha. For obvious reasons. Who wouldn’t be thrilled by such chocolatey goodness? But then his could be a regular espresso, or worse. Hehe. On a side note, I’d 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’s 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’ve 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!
