This First Date Spot Is A Bad Idea

[@zerodegreescelsius]

Food courts with AC. The AC is the key. And like a hawker centre, food courts also have friendly prices and something for everyone.

if the point behind a first date is to have conversation - imagine sitting in a crowded hawker centre during peak dining hours and other patrons hanging around your table and eyeing you guys for not leaving asap after finishing your food cos they want to take over your seats

[@xxLyenn]

For first date honestly, hawker is not a great option but if it’s air conditioned and less crowded, it’s okay. But of course every girl wants their guy to plan and make them feel special, so maybe hawker for the first date just feels like you’re hinting she’s not worth the effort of planning. Like picnic is okay, it can be quite simple by just grabbing to go pizza and a bottle of red wine from 7/11 or Giant and you would already gain a lot of affection level for the effort okay.

[@whateverexe]

Is the onus on the guy to plan? If he plans and the girl doesn't like, shouldn't the girl say she is unhappy? According to your logic, if guys are unwilling to put "effort", they don't care, this then means a girl that expect a guy to plan everything doesn't care right? Or are standards different for girls? Perhaps lower?

I personally don’t mind going to a hawker centre for a first date. Feels a little more casual and no pressure. Easier to just goof off and get a feel of how the person is like. If you want to have a little more serious conversations, just do it after as you’re walking to whatever place next. It’s not that serious.

Hawker center dates seem to separate the sambal lovers from the sambal haters…dealbreaker material.

[@piguu7226]

Hawker center can get hot and uncomfortable, let alone on a first date when it might alr be awkward. It's also often crowded, loud and not as intimate. First date should tryhard abit la can always go hawker later down the line. First impression is important. Only difference is when you're already friends with the person you're taking on a first official date. Might know eachother enough to be comfortable with the first date idea.

If you really love someone the dating place doesn't matters

[@abcdefoff3307]

If you really love someone, you'd put in the effort and you'd give your best. No effort means no love.

[@virgildsouza1698]

Outdoor dining: am I a joke to you?

[@DeathHela]

i feel like if ur broke it’ll be better to cook them a meal instead ❤ unless u r going on a blind date and u have never met the person before don’t bring him/her to ur home 😂

[@jaeeee834]

why are people so fussy and do u even pay for it ? plus why do u need a fancy restaurant to back u up for first impression ? no personality ??😂😂

[@abcdefoff3307]

As someone who insisted to split bills on my 1st date, I'd be incredibly pissed if my husband brought me to a hot, messy, and noisy place for our 1st date. If he didn't bother earlier on in our relationship, he would likely not bother afterwards. So, it just shows that he's the type who puts in minimal effort into the relationship. A deal breaker. Hawker food tapao and bring to a nice but free picnic place (local park, beaches, etc) would be a deal maker 'cuz effort and planning, but eating hawker food in hawker centre is a deal breaker 'cuz no thoughts and effort (moreover if he ask to split bills. No effort but also cheapskate? Not worth being around with). It's all about the effort and the thought process, not the money. Women always put in a lot of effort before they show up, so the dude better be matching her energy to be worthy. Not to mention women are most likely to be the one investing the most energy into the relationship while dudes be doing the bare mininum. The least he can do is plan an actual decent 1st date.

Think it also depends where the h.c (hawker centre) is. If it's some rundown crap place with shitty public washrooms, then it's rather insensitive. But if it's a quiet mosquito-free h.c with good food it's another story. Also lunch or dinner? Lunch at h.c tends to be crowded. But dinner, not so bad.

[@saria6302]

Girls usually want to wear nice nice and maybe do make up for their first date,cus they want to make a good impression. Going hawker center or basically anywhere thats not air conditioned and crowded is just frustrating, unless you guys agreed on a outdoor date then fine, but not alot people will be ok with that too as first date is suppose to be time for you guys to get to know each other more. Go to a restraunt wif air con, no need to be a super fancy one just a place u guys dun have to que and stand like forever, and a place u won't struggle to hear them. In my opinion a date and hanging out is kinda diff, just hanging out is casual, u can go hawker center, casual walk walk ard the mall or the park or smth, like stuff you will do like on a regular day. But a date is abit more special, i will dress up nice nice and we will do some interesting or meaningful things that we dun usually do. Honestly just communicate how u wan the date to be, either plan it tgt or take turns to plan, and dun give the other person shit when u r not the one planning, if u really dun trust their planning either u plan or tell the other person the things u wan to do.

As long as the place is HALAL

[@anushapremkumar7356]

The way I woulda RAN to a hawker centre for a first date back when I used to date Singaporean men. The only issue I see is it might be hard to get a seat but if you were going off-peak surely that’s fine?

[@leblackrosethorn3834]

Idm u cook for me for a 1st date but hawker center is a no

[@problemperson4221]

for real, i'd prefer a homemade lunchbox eaten at a random park over a hawker centre

[@RayMak]

Hmmm

[@JeddtheJedi]

The best first date spot is of course the pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlaac. In his belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.

[@ellielinyan1521]

I’ll just say, if I’m a guy I won’t bring the girl to a freaking hawker centre on the first date 💀if I have no money for the restaurant I won’t go lol

[@abcdefoff3307]

Or u can cool/tapao hawker food and bring it to a nice place to enjoy.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

[@Zebiuiui]

Take advice from a mother of five: Don't flaunt your wallet on a first date. I advised my sons to take their date to a hawker center and observe her reaction. If she doesn’t mind and doesn’t complain about it, then it’s a good sign to ask her out again. However, if she refuses or goes silent after the first date, it’s best to move on. My sons followed my advice and confirmed that it holds true; many girls go quiet after the first date because they think my sons can’t afford to take them to an expensive restaurant or aren’t romantic enough. The same goes for my older daughter. Nowadays, some men expect women to pay for everything. A few guys she dated distanced themselves from her because she preferred eating at a hawker center instead of a fancy restaurant. Fortunately, she and her brother are now happily married to partners who also enjoy dining at hawker centers. My third-born son did the same, after being failed in three dates, he finally found the girl that liked to eat at the hawker center as well. Their engagement is just around the corner.

[@Peacelily22]

That’s sweet. They can consider booking the whole hawker centre for their wedding too.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Dating in Singapore feels like a Noir Movie in many parts. You never know what’s coming next.

[@zerodegreescelsius]

Tbh, LPS is popular simply because it's located in the city. It's a bragging point for ppl to say "oh, I bring my dates to dinner in the city". Sounds cool, but completely overrated.

[@studboy2456]

Just let the girl pay for all dates

[@zatilaqmar3427]

I went on kopitiam on a first date and he made me pay for my nasi lemak and his saliva tersembur into my food when he talks 😭 never again.

[@nerdee89]

Girl, I had a date who brought me to a chicken rice shop and then talk about his PSP games for the next 30mins and I already finished my food and his plate is not even halfway finished. Worst date ever.

[@sysy2685]

actually hawker center is ok. Just that most first date you dress to impress also to make first good impression, and with all the heat it is "melting è face "and the poor lady that prolly used 2 hours to paint the face will be kinda bummed 😂and most hawker center also quite noisy u also wanna get to know each other more.. maybe to just eat can lor but to use that location to rapport with each other a bit hard to hear each other hahah. and the lady growing more uncomfortable with the second 😂maybe just to eat then go to somewhere else to chat chat for coffee and dessert to save some cash :) not to stay there for like 4 hours 😊

[@childenumber1simp373]

If you don't have money, then don't date??? Later the fights will all be about money sia

[@AmericaChavez17]

You gotta talk about the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight

[@Yeolo1212-mk5gx]

Yo

[@bharatplayroblox]

NEW VID!! (First)

[@albertmaynard1147]

Upon reflection, I think hawker center is ideal for a first date - especially if she is wearing makeup. That way when it melts off you will get to see what she (or he, I don't judge) really looks like.
