I hear some people say that they dont like dinner dates because they come off as interviews/interrogations which they can if you give short answers. I like to tell stories which gets the other person telling stories, which is nothing like an interview, but if the 2 parties interact like this then yeah dinner dates suck:
Guy: Where are you originally from?
Girl: Im from Chicago. You?
Guy: Baltimore
Girl: ok
Guy: traveled much?
Girl: Not as much as I would like
Guy: Yeah me too
instead; You have to mix in stories and interesting facts etc that you know about what you are talking about, for example
Guy: Where are you originally from?
Girl: Chicago,
Guy: Chicago, Ive always wanted to go there, a friend of mine went and told me he ate at such and such restaurant, told me they have the best steak he has ever had
Girl: Oh yeah that restaurant is really nice, and yes the steak is crazy good, when I was in chicago my family and I would go atleast once a month
Next thing you know the 2 people are talking about the best and worst steaks they have at without it coming off as a back and forth
I think if time allows then you try to throw in an activity afterwards, but all that amusement park, type stuff should want to second and 3rd dates
