My first date with my partner was spent strolling and sitting and talking for a couple of hours at the local walking path with our dogs. When we made it back to our cars, he asked me if I wanted to go to dinner. Though I certainly did feel chemistry and did want to go out with him again, I politely declined.
I wanted to go home, by myself, and let the afternoon sink in.
We ended up going for a day-long drive in the mountains the next day, and have pretty much been inseparable ever since.
So, no, I don't think, at all, that not wanting a first date to last for 9 hours, or well into the night, necessarily means that there's lack of chemistry or anything of the sort.
Agreed! I've had first dates where there's been amazing chemistry, but I still ended them after 2 hours because I wanted to go home and reflect. I agreed to subsequent dates by the end of those first dates.
A first date that lasts for more than a couple of hours would be a nightmare for me, personally.

I guess it depends on the person then. I hadn't dated for the 25 or so years previous, so it was magical, maybe I just have some catching up to do before I put work first in that situation

Agreed. It might also depend on personality type. I'm an introvert so I need time alone to recharge whereas extroverts might thrive more in company.
