is 3 hours too long for a first date movie or am i just old and snack-conscious

Matched with someone nice, we both want to see the same new historical thing, then I saw the runtime and had a spiritual event. Three hours with a near-stranger feels advanced.

Would you pivot to coffee after, or is the long movie secretly helpful because you dont have to talk immediately?

Long movie is okay if you do drinks first. Then you know whether you even want three hours.

I did a 2 hour 45 first date once. Nice person, terrible chooser, and now im married to them.

First date rule: always choose something easy to leave.

Coffee after a movie is a trap because now you are summarizing a movie and a person at the same time.
