The only times I have not mind treating someone to dinner is when I went to NJ and she picked me up from the train station

I prefer a lunch or early dinner date, because it provides a little more time to click with her if things go slow the first 15 minutes or so. A coffee date is probably 30 minutes vs. an hour or so for a lunch or an early dinner date. That has been my experience. That extra time can make the difference if the date for whatever reason gets off to a slow start conversation-wise.

It's a lot of pressure to have someone's messages indicate they've already basically planned your entire life when you haven't even met yet.
It's why I always stressed on first dates (or meetings)that we are meeting and not to take it seriously. I have met a lot of men who seemed perfect matches online, only to meet and realize something was a miss.

I will never find a "perfect match" online, just satisfactory ones since I set my expectations pretty high based on what I'm willing to deal with. Does she smoke? Is she religious? Is she political, all of which are deal breakers for me.

First meets were usually happy hours somewhere close by, coffee as much as I love it, and have more then an average person by Noon, come 6 or7 and I will be up all night, following by more coffee in the morning. Hate decaf, wouldn't say no, but wouldn't be thrilled either
