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.

Is going out for drinks a good first date?

Restaurants, hotels, and lounges are great places to grab a drink and sometimes can have a really cool and fun vibe. For the most part, grabbing drinks is going to work for a first date as long as the person youre going out with drinks, is okay with bars, and is of course of the legal drinking age.
