No? It's like an 2-3 hours. Most movies that aren't marvel movies are like 90m long, then you chat for an hour over a drink or food. then you go home.

i dunno where you live, but most restaurants/bars here are very fast because they are tryign to turn over customers as much as possible. most coffee shops have a 15-20m seating limit now too. you can't just order 1 coffee and sit there 2 hours and if you spend 2 hours for a single drink the wait staff will ask you to leave.

Cold talk and starting a conversation with someone you never met is not a natural skill for everyone; myself included - I am extrovert when being around people I know or people someone who is with me knows, but shut as a clam when with strangers.

Doing something together that you can talk about to get to know each other's preferences and what you picked up from the experience is a great way to break the ice.

I particularily enjoy going to a museum, theatre or music concert on a date, and try to suggest something I haven't seen or heard before.

most people I meet are not interesting, no.

But that's why you go on the date, to see if they are interested or not. And one way to do that is to see how they react to a shared experience. Or you find out they hate what you love.
