I agree with Bingle. If they don’t agree to a coffee date as the first date, there’s no need to push further. I was typing this as he said “crunchyroll and pick-a-hole” and choked on my coffee.
I think I had the ultimate bad first date spot. I was dating this girl for a week or so, we had went to school together so we knew eachother in the past so it was pretty cool and we got along and dated casually. For our first date I told her to drive us wherever she wanted and we'd have lunch and find some fun activities for the afternoon. She drove us to a graveyard where she showed me the tombstone of her dead son who had died as an infant some years ago whom I had no idea even exhisted before that point. I am sorry that happened to her, but that should have been a conversation to have before making it our first date thing.
Coffee dates are the perfect low stress, casual and friendly, "get to know each other" date. Like, first date is for sussing each other out, and then you step up after that. This entire list would die at the first date I had with my ex. Literally IHOP and Bowling. Edit to add: Waffle House is an entertaining date if you go to watch the fights. Black Friday? I'd go just for the show.
I love how this started because a women was an hour late then complained when he took her to Cheesecake Factory because they missed their reservation. At that point I would've just taken her home and been done with her. But my rules for first dates were somewhere public where we both bring ourselves (so we both feel safe), then I'd just ask what they want to do. My most successful first date was Taco Bell then a few rounds of paintball.
I love how a video on unacceptable first date spots is just one giant tangential food conversation. Also coffee dates are fine. If the other person wants somewhere expensive, they are just fishing for a free fancy meal, and aren't worth the time.
Wtf does that person want?? A five star restaurant on the first date? Like god damn I would LOVE a bowling alley as a first date. Whoever made that list sounds snobby.
crunchyroll and pick-a-hole, god damn, im stealing that one. Also when i was growing up movie theatre dates always seemed like the most popular thing. idk when it changed but damn did my first date flop....dont even think the movie theatre was the bit that made it suck tbh
Some of those restaurants I would avoid simply because there are *so many* good places near me that aren't expensive and are far better than, say, IHOP. I also have personal biases against some places, but I'd be communicative and wouldn't throw a fit if someone tried to take me to one of them. But yeah, this list was very clearly written by someone looking for expensive free food, not someone interested in establishing relationships or getting to know people.
I've never actually gone on a date but even i can tell some of those choices are wrong. Did that person want a fine dining experience on the first date wtf?
So that only leaves the first date to be at a fancy restaurant which will cost you more than a Nintendo Switch. :p Now that really makes me decide to be forever alone. :(
If I'm taking someone to a waffle house we are well past first date territory. That is a liminal space adventure and we're closer to final test lands than first date.
No no no! It sounds like this list writer wants a Black Tie, sit-down, super premium steak dinner as a first date. 🤣 They’re fishing for cash, I swear…
Who's the person with the bad mic threshold? She is funny and I enjoy her but please someone donate her some cash to fix her mic static and volume overload.

An actual 'food conversation' that didn't wipe you guys.
A certain lack of Corey makes a world of difference.

That means I am forever alone as I don't like coffee. :p
@@cj_skywalker Most coffee places also serve tea, pastries, or even just water.
The Council of NEST & Friends has spoken and they are **correct** in their judgments.
This is almost as tragic as your attempts to rescue us.
Says the guy hitting"Surecast" at certain points of the fight. :3

Can I ban Bingle from life for making me hear the phrase 'Crunchyroll and pick a hole'?
Still trying to pick myself up after that one…
A suspension from life AT LEAST.
Blacklist him in FFXIV in minecraft😂
That list seems made by someone who believes first dates must be super high quality. And as someone who has no interest in dating, that seems dumb.
I want to date, but even I agree with some of those options being from someone who thinks money is all they need or something.

This must have been the longest food conversation of NEST without anyone dying!
Not a food conversation technically
(Dis)Honorable Mentions:
- Hooters / Twin Peaks / Tilted Kilt
- Mom's House
- Discord / Zoom VC
- Cracker Barrel
if somebody took me to cracker barrel on a date id be so bewildered that id feel a need to see it through just to understand the thought process

So basically this person wanted a close to home and the most expensive restaurants as a first date ...
One of the taco trucks in my area did so well they built a restaurant on the spot they used to park their truck
I like that this list just absolutely obliterates the entire dating culture for the greater Oceanic region as a whole.
I mean, given that like... half of this list needs to be rewritten or deleted for Australian Food chains... yeah Id say it obliterates it...
So as long as Drak moderates, NEST can have a civilized food conversation
"17 and 18 are practically the same" -Drak 2023
8:23 I felt Keaton's gasp of shock and horror in my bones lemme tell ya.
Some of these places...just come out and say you want a $900 meal at a Chop House or something, SHEESH
First date at Indian Buffet is an amazing idea ngl
Omg, this dude really just said "crunchy roll and pick a hole". I'm dying
I've never dated before, so this is all over my head.
I don't really care where I go as long as I don't almost die again
... *Again?*
@ArceusShaymin yeah, have to be careful with what contains peanuts. Never expected chicken to have it...
My first date was actually at a Red Lobster on Valentine's Day lol
Soo it’s fine if drak starts a food conversation huh?
crunchyroll and pick-a-hole, god damn, im stealing that one. Also when i was growing up movie theatre dates always seemed like the most popular thing. idk when it changed but damn did my first date flop....dont even think the movie theatre was the bit that made it suck tbh
My husband took me bowling for a first date and I had fun! I wouldn't mind most of these food chains.
And the ad for me is DQ for even more debate
I only read through part of the list before stopping, i had no idea it was THAT bad...
Some of those restaurants I would avoid simply because there are *so many* good places near me that aren't expensive and are far better than, say, IHOP. I also have personal biases against some places, but I'd be communicative and wouldn't throw a fit if someone tried to take me to one of them.

This list is really trying to pigeonhole first dates into sit-down place near where I live, huh?
Not their first date, but my sister had a chicken and waffle food truck for her wedding dinner
Most of those options would be fine with me. This list maker doesn't like fun or food, apparently. There's nothing wrong with coffee dates.
So,... What's left? lol
So that only leaves the first date to be at a fancy restaurant which will cost you more than a Nintendo Switch. :p
Now that really makes me decide to be forever alone. :(
If I'm taking someone to a waffle house we are well past first date territory. That is a liminal space adventure and we're closer to final test lands than first date.
Take bowling off that list, put casino in its place
So Hooters is still a good option?
The people making this list seem to hate food, drink, and fun... I'm not sure dating will ever be an issue for them.
See I agree with no ice cream on a first date strictly 'cause I'm lactose intolerant. I LOVE ice cream dates but that's at least second date material.
so what i've learned is you don't want to go anywhere on a first date... hmmmm
No no no! It sounds like this list writer wants a Black Tie, sit-down, super premium steak dinner as a first date. 🤣 They’re fishing for cash, I swear…
Who's the person with the bad mic threshold? She is funny and I enjoy her but please someone donate her some cash to fix her mic static and volume overload.
waffle house is the cheapest way to get dinner with a show
