It might seem counterintuitive, but I think getting dating advice from two guys who have been married for 10+ years is not going to be that helpful. It’s like when your parents tell you to hand your resume to the manager in person
yeah i think you're right. it's not valueless or anything, i think they have a solid idea about healthy dynamics. but i think their advice is only really best for people who are, say, 6-12 months into their relationship, where they're starting to cross the boundary that "long term" could be an accurate descriptor.
Dan's anti coffee date, pro movie take is wild. Coffee date = low commitment so if the vibes are off its easy to just end it there, but if its good you can talk for hours there or easily go and get dinner or do something else together. Movie date = 2-3 hour commitment where you're not even supposed to talk to each other. I guess if you're planning on getting dinner after it gives you something to talk about but thats a lot of time to commit for a first date.
@@mattoleary811 100% correct. Movie dates are awful for first dates. Low commitment, easy ejection is the move. Coffee, bars if you're into that, a walk in the park, whatever.
we all know someone like this in real life. We like him because it brings out awesome stories we never would have heard... but when you are on the spot it can be a bit much sometimes lol love Dan btw, I would be like a half the week chillin kind of friend with him. every day is too much being put on the spot
coffee date is goated because if it goes well it can be extended and if it doesnt go well you can bail after like, 15 mins. Most other first dates you're locked in for at least an hour
Also plenty of time to talk. Really you're forced to talk with each other. With a movie date there's not an incentive to talk with one another and you're just sitting there for 1-2 hrs in silence
male bonding is walking a tightrope of poking fun without stabbing, pointing towards but not at, laughing with and not laughing at. people confuse it for bullying, but its a beautiful intricate dance among brothers and takes genuine empathy and undestanding
@@AtomicSluggand in feeling all of this out, you get to know someone very, very well. This is preaching to the choir, but nurture your friendships guys.
I bet that the calculus is different from Dan/NL's era. Prospective partners are certainly expanded compared to pre-dating app, and so I'd imagine that a longer commitment first date gives plenty of time to check the vibes.
I find the first love can turn into a harmless scar, it's that first serious relationship that turns into an aching wound. It's almost a year since my breakup with her, we lived together, but boy, does it take the wind out of your sails.
FOR REAL. Saying a movie date is good for a first date because "if the date sucks at least you got to watch a movie" is setting yourself up for failure. More often than not in a movie first date, it's gonna suck because you're not engaging with the other person during an event SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO GET TO KNOW THE OTHER PERSON.
A movie date only really makes sense if you are going out with someone you've had some prior irl interactions with. I've done a movie as a first date but it was with a girl I worked with and talked to regularly. I'd never suggest it as a first date if you are meeting someone off an app or through a friend or something.
movie date is only a good first date if you go from friends to dating. my first girlfriend and i had our first real date at the movies after being friends for months and it was great.
Dude this whole video was art, it was actually heartwarming just listening some dudes talk about first love’s way back when and having something to relate to. Also the ending song was perfect. Thank you librarian!!
"you just died to wind. wouldn't be me, even in real life i dont think" "well i mean, there's a lot of wind coming off the Voyager, i promise you that" LMFAOO
''I'm not that famous for normal people and most of the people i went to school with are normal because they were born in 1988 instead of like 1997'' Okay, ow
I imagine people were way less annoying growing up without internet tbf. Or at least they didnt have to hear random dumb takes from a bunch of ppl on facebook.
This video is so comforting to me. Only recently started watching NL through the Librarian and my first gf broke up with me in September which I still haven’t gotten over so them talking about it makes me feel a bit like I’m sharing the pain
The most insane takes. Coffee dates are a perfectly fine first date. Movie dates are only good if you've been with someone for a bit and it's a movie you're both interested in.
it’s kind of shocking because i never really considered that he might have had a serious relationship before kate since they got married relatively young. hearing him talk about it (and having been in a similar, toxic relationship) it’s really wild to think about what could have been.
One time I was going on a date and right when I pulled up to her place I see she sent me a text that she couldn't make it bc she was out of town and got stuck in traffic on the way back. I look up to see her taking the trash out of her house, where she sees me and immediately goes back inside. Most awkward experience of my life.
They both play Elden Ring like it's a suffercore game. Sisyphus over here only pressing R1 with a +0 weapon wearing 1 piece of armor. Wonder when they'll remember weapon arts are a thing
You're watching the wrong stream if you think they're going to be doing anything other than hitting the boss with sticks till it dies. They're og old souls heads
I accidentally lowered the speed to 0.4x during the credits song but I didnt notice because I had the video on the background and I thought it was either NL doing a bit or Librarian doing a bit
I'm not on apps anymore, and I'm transfemme so my situation is kinda unique, but most of the time the coffee date was basically just a chance to get the dude's vibe in a public space where I can leave easily if the vibe is off. It was also a test to see if they were too much of a manchild to be seen in public with a trans person, but I don't think that's that relevant here lmao
I met my wife on a coffee date lol.. it transitions to drinks and snacks at a bar bc it went well. I highly recommend coffee dates, ice cream dates, etc... After about a dozen or so dates with different people, I realized going out to interesting places/activities, restaurants, or bars for cocktails was a pretty expensive venture to maintain. Literally my first date in the city was like 80 bucks for 2 cocktails each and I never saw her again. If you can hold a convo, simple inexpensive dates like coffee dates are great and if the date is going well the first hour or so, sure.. go to a different place. Only place a movie date works is when you are like 16 going out with someone from school.
Holy shit, when NL sent a message to his ex instead of his boy about the dinner with her parents bring a snooze-fest I was dying... THEN when he actually pulled it off by saying it was just him making a silly joke... I was SENT brother
The first 5 mins is just a very boomer take from both of them lmao. I'm trying to talk and get to know someone not sit through a 2 1/2 movie quietly with a stranger (could be just me). Last time I went on a 'coffee date' it turned into 2 hrs of talking then I took her to dinner and we dated for 4 months, they've both been married for ages so they get a pass for being out of the loop imo.
1:15 probably ill-advised to admit on the internet, but THIS IS SO ME! I'm not the kind of person built for dating apps, I'd rather touch grass and find a person running in the fields as well.
I’m trying very hard not to express my insane takes in the Librarian comments anymore so I won’t go too far here, but my lord does it feel like we are approaching the event horizon of a truly fucked-up dating market. Online dating is a horrible idea for most people and the communities we relied on for centuries to find partners (the church, local clubs) are collapsing on a rapid basis. Very spooky stuff, gamers.
Loss of third places has been dire for socialization of all types. Also soapboxing here to say dating apps are designed to make money, not get you into meaningful relationships. I used them off and on from like 2016-2022 and they are husks of what they were even over that time. I can't imagine they've gotten much better
coffee dates are perfectly fine imo. If you've got a good personality and feel confident about yourself, you could go on a first date to get your groceries. it literally does not matter. also, you don't wanna spend over $20 on a first date. I mean, I don't.
I've met my last three partners irl rather than on apps. I think apps are the worst way to go in terms of modern dating imo. Very superficial and most matches go nowhere. I think it is a lot easier dazzling someone in person. :) Also makes for a good story. Be confident! Walk up to that cute girl/guy/nb and talk!!! Get a hobby, go places!

Im the inverse, I knew that Dan was the big brother GOAT, but I just didnt even realise that Dan was Dan Gheesling until NL brought it up here
He's the goat because every conversation with him is 20 questions over and over
coffee date is goated because if it goes well it can be extended and if it doesnt go well you can bail after like, 15 mins. Most other first dates you're locked in for at least an hour

I find it hilarious that NL became so awkward and uncomfortable talking about his ex.
I can’t really blame him, lol. All I’m gonna say is he’s extremely lucky to have met K8 when he did, and he knows it
