What makes a date bad?
If you spend the entire date talking about yourself and how awesome you are, youre a terrible date. And, also, arrogant. While its great to talk about your life and what makes it great dont forget to ask the other person questions. A date should be a natural steady flow of back and forth conversation.
How long is a date supposed to last?
So when it comes to the question of “how long should a first date last?” Id recommend no more than one hour, tops. But there are other reasons, as well. Spending more than an hour on a first date has many other consequences you might not have thought about.
