Why do you think Kopi Date worked so well for you?

L: I liked meeting people face-to-face on the first date as there are things like how you dress, body language, verbal and non verbal cues that can help me more quickly tell whether this is a connection worth pursuing.

I liked that each date allowed me to meet new people that were very different from me, as even if they were not suitable matches, I learnt something new from each person. But definitely, I appreciate that the team was open to feedback on the curation process to tailor the dates more towards my preferences.

Through the process, I learnt more about myself as a person and what I’m really looking out for in a partner (both the non negotiable and nice to haves). And the Kopi date team was always very responsive which I appreciated.

S: Kopi Date experience already sets the foundation even before the dates and I truly believe the participants are actually of class and standards. The process of curating based on preferences gave a sense of confidence and belief in the whole process of dating. The staff follow up and feedback (bar chats) were valuable because it helped to set expectations to the subsequent dates.

As a dater I have learned that falling in love is not a fast track you need to allow yourself to take time to know each other well.

What did you learn through your journey?

L: It showed me that dating is not always just about finding the one. Yes, that’s the end goal, but there is also value in the process (knowing more about yourself and others) that I’ve gained through Kopi date.

S: Our start was very slow but it always felt like she might be the one and raised questions like why she cannot be the one? I believe these self reflection brought in a lot clarity to make a strong decision

Advice to others thinking of joining Kopi Date!

S: Set your intentions stright and don’t be scared to approach with confidence and positivity. You have to meet in person to et to know where they come from, their walks of like, ad their intentions.

L: Sometimes it’s worth investing in yourself. If you’re looking for something more genuine, it’s worth investing in and worth giving yourself that shot.
