Walk us through your first date together!
Iman: I arrived relatively early to curb my anxiety and the waitress was signaling to me that my date had arrived; there she was engrossed in marking, catching a small meal (possibly toast if i recall correctly).
My first impression - there was a realness to it. Here I was struggling to locate this cafe in the midst of the raffles place office crowd, anxiety-ridden, unsettled nerves and here was my date facing the same, juggling and compartmentalizing her adult duties, squeezing in a meal with what bandwidth was available.
Conversations flowed over an inevitable plate of crab linguini and cheese platter; it was dinner time after all. As the night ensued, I suggested drinks and our tongues loosened.

future relationship.
We think long-term.
We nurture your dating journey through self-discovery and growth.
Alexandra: It’d been a really long and tiring day actually, and yes, I was still doing some work (in fact I’d gone early specifically so I could complete what I needed to do before the date ), and I was wondering how to drum up the energy to participate in a conversation with an unknown person. I typically have reservations about meeting new people and using up my social battery but I’ve been trying to keep an open mind while on Kopi Date.
However, my fears about the date were very quickly allayed. Iman was very open and candid throughout the date. And that left me with the easy job of just listening to him share his stories.
Like Iman, I felt really comfortable the whole time. In his openness and willingness to share, it created the space for me to realise that we have a lot in common, including our philosophy and approach to life.
“The one is someone you consciously choose.”
IMAN
How was the Kopi Date experience different from other dating platforms?
Iman - I have always had a poor [success rate] from dating app conversations to actual dates - Kopi Date facilitates in person dates without the need for pretend interactions and forced conversations. It also helps that both parties are financially committed to this.
Alexandra: I honestly hadn’t had much success with other platforms too, despite friends sharing their success stories using online dating apps. Kopi Date does curation and that helps in the whole process as there’s a matching of interests and personalities.
Advice to others thinking of joining Kopi Date!
Iman: In my opinion there is no such thing as “the one”. The one is someone you consciously choose; and over the course of your journey together you are going to have to keep choosing him/her - over any future challenges or hardships or obstacles; “the one” is someone you keep choosing over everything.
Alexandra: I would say the most important thing is to keep an open mind. While a mental list is helpful, but I would say it should only steer you regarding the area of whether your date views life the same way as you, and your approach to situations. The rest are likely “good to have” rather than “need to have” because at the end of the day, a relationship is about the willingness to communicate and come to a compromise.
The shortest path to a healthy relationship.

I didn’t approach Kopi Date as a dating platform. We were both in a place of growth and willing to do the heavy lifting early in the relationship.
