Pro tip: I started asking for a coffee walk instead of dinner on blind dates and it fixed everything

I used to say yes to dinner dates and then sit there for two hours trying not to chew weird. After a rough one in Austin last fall I switched to asking for a 20 minute coffee walk instead. If it goes bad, we just loop the block and I am out $4. If it goes good, we keep walking and the time flies. Last week a guy and I did three laps around the park because neither of us wanted to stop. Has anyone else tried a walk instead of a sit down meal?
