Midwest. I've done many bar dates but I usually go for coffee for a first date that way it's easy to bounce if we don't click. The bars I go to have karaoke or live music on the weekends and the crowd is chill so it's a good time. If that doesn't sound like a good time to whoever I'm dating, we're not going to click anyway and I'd rather be single than stress out jumping through hoops and spending tons of money trying to impress some girl. I did enough of that in my 20s. It's not worth it.
