First date tip that made a massive difference for me:

If this is an online dating match or otherwise your first in-person interaction of any nature, don't commit yourself to that amount of time. You could know within the escalator ride up in the aquarium that you don't want to spend a second longer with this person and you've got an hour ahead of you.

Meet somewhere for coffee or a drink (or in warmer times, froyo or ice cream) and give yourself an opportunity to extend it, but don't plan two hours if you don't know if you can spend twenty minutes in this person's presence.

Was going to say the same thing - I think the context really matters. Aquarium or museum could be good if you already know each other and it’s your first date. But if you are meeting for first time it’s a gamble.
