How long do you think a first date should be? (Page 2)

Question

There are many internet answers saying  “the first date should be limited to 1 hour"  or  "30 minutes to 2 hours is best,"  but  how long do you think a first date should be?  I don't think less than an hour is enough time to really get to know someone and know if you would consider a second date or not. ..  So, maybe 1 hour or more?  Personally, my first date with my boyfriend lasted 6 hours, we did lots of activities, and got to know each other more than just the awkward surface-level introductions... So that time spent together made me 100% sure I wanted a second date, (otherwise I would have cut it short). Typically, I think that 6hrs is a bit long for a first date, but if it was just 1.5 to 2hrs, I think that would suffice. The 6hr long date signified that it was a good and enjoyable date.

Not much more than an hour, I'd think. Maybe two, depending on what the outing is.

petitedollbabee · Answer

If it goes well, a couple hours is good. If it’s not going well, then half an hour to an hour.

MCheetah · Answer

Two hours. Maybe three if you went to go see a movie.

kellytheman · Answer

About as long as a movie is so 2 hours or less. If it goes beyond ,2 hours you might get sick of each other and run out of things to talk about and there that be awkward silence.

loveslongnails · Answer

If you're having a fantastic time, 6 hours won't be enough. If you're having a terrible time, 6 minutes will be too long.

kinggeorge007 · Answer

It depends. The minimum would be 1 hour. As you said, the more time you spend with them, you'd know more about them. More the merrier.

DaveToo · Answer

It depends on your date. Some are painfully too long for an hour, others are painfully short in 12 hours.
