Men are seriously up in arms that I and “women like me” are only after a free dinner and are making unreasonable demands. I think I’m pretty clear that I’m not even asking for dinner, just a place that has a romantic atmosphere appropriate for a date. Too many men and even women are telling on themselves and their poor understanding of energetics imho.

And as I’ve said in the comments, a a coffee/cafe date can be fine, but please be sensible; you don’t want to be on a date where everyone else is working on their laptops. My bottom line is to show mindfulness. Yes, the place may not be the ultimate deciding factor in whether you decide you like each other, but it definitely can help set the tone for a first date and how your feelings and understanding of one another develop. Setting always holds value energetically. 🙏🏼
