"An hour and a half is enough time to get to know someone and give them a fair shot at getting to know you," she said in a video."
"I go into every single first date with an excuse to leave after 90 minutes, whether it's, 'I have to let my dog out' or 'I have a workout class at 6 a.m.'"
"Ninety minutes allows your nervous system to settle, have enough time to understand the vibe of someone, and time to create real conversation," she tells Bustle."
A 90-minute timeframe for a first date creates predictable structure and reduces the stress of uncertain durations. Ninety minutes allows the nervous system to settle and gives enough time to gauge another person’s vibe and build authentic conversation. Setting an explicit expectation for a 90-minute endpoint offers a polite, prepared exit strategy while also enabling a fair chance to assess chemistry. This boundary can make dates more enjoyable and manageable whether the connection is immediate or lacking, preventing prolonged discomfort and preserving emotional energy for future interactions.
