Coffee is boring if you are boring. That's why some people are against it.

    There is also an art to keeping it short. No need to sit at a table for 5 hours. After an hour you should know if you want to go do something together.

    With my current partner, we met "just" for a coffee at 11:30am. We got home at 7pm after said coffee, a walk, some drinks, dinner, and having had an awesome time.

    Not to say I don't agree with you - keeping at least the initial intention short and sweet gives an easy way out in case either person isn't enjoying the date.

    Pretty much. Interesting people go for coffee, then something right after.

    My first few dates with my now-wife was a park, then hot dogs, then another park, then back at her place.

    Coffee is just the initial vibe check.
