She sounds very entitled, I would not have the patience for someone like that.

I love walking dates. I have also spent hundreds of dollars on dates. I am not cheap.

The first date DH and I went on, we walked through faneuil hall in Boston and then got snacks and drinks and went to the waterfront to look at the boats and keep talking. It was amazing. He is not a cheap person.

My girlfriend also says that they only wanted to go for a walk and as soon as she suggested to go for Coffee they blocked her and on the date when she asked to go to a bar, they refused. This experience made her very bitter, and I feel for her. But I believe it might be a bit overblown.

Dude, fix your filter process if that’s your issue.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Lol.
That’s one way to eliminate the fatties and women who only want to overdress and wear high heels. Walking date! 3 mile minimums. No drinks afterwards, just cut and run.

Best first date is the one both people want.

I’d assume you have problems looking people in the eye if it’s ONLY a walking date.

Coffee and THEN a walk the zoo or river or great falls or around Old Town makes sense.

You can agree to disagree on this one.

Do you want to be in love or be right?

My girlfriend and I met via online dating and we are deeply in love. However, we have an ongoing debate about walking dates as a first date and I would like to hear some opinions.

She believes it is a sign of disrespect and that the man who invites her on a walking date just doesn't want to spend any money.

I on the other hand believe it is just fine as a first date, as you get to know someone in a casual way.
