How often is it that you don't click at the beginning and want to end it more quickly? Has the woman ever ended it quickly with you?
I'm not saying this particular woman is one I'd mess with and pretend to give false signals or hope. Conversation went well, I love talking about traveling and exchanging stories because I work for an airline and do a fair amount of traveling myself. She had done a fair amount so that kept me interested. It's just once the night is over and I see how long I've spent on this date, I was like holy ****, 5 hours again? Idk, this is one of the first dates I've had in a long time where I've been meh about it after.
I've only had one date in the past two years where I wanted to end it more quickly and I did. Basically as the waitress came by and asked if I wanted more drinks, I said no, we made some eye contact and she figured out that I was on a date and clearly not enjoying myself so the waitress brought the bill right away. That was it and a woman hadn't abruptly ended any dates with me. (Knock on wood)

I cut one date short with a girl from Tinder because she was so unattractive, but even that I had agreed to dinner so had to sit through that. Just took her home and made up some bs excuse and then she tried to kiss me.
But I've been on a lot of first dates that start at 5 or 7 and I'm not home till midnight or later.
5 hours seems like every first date for me lol. Just like you said, it's easy for me to talk and chat my date up since I wouldn't agree to a date unless I thought she were interesting. We'll see how it goes. With tinder, you don't have that knowledge of what a woman is looking for like on pof (casual, wants a relationship, actively seeking, etc) so unsure what her end game is. Maybe just casual dating? Maybe she wants casual sex, idk. No concrete day to go out again but I'd give it another chance. If I do, I'd try to keep it shorter lol
