Why Germans Like Walking Dates

Why do Germans like walking dates so much? I'm an American woman and had heard about walking dates being a thing in Germany, but now that I've been here for a good 6 months and went on several first dates, why do they always want to just walk around? I find it so incredibly boring and unoriginal. It's also just hard to focus on talking and walking because I like looking at the person I'm talking to. I'd rather get a coffee and so and talk, or go to some other small fun activity. One guy even planned to go to the movies but wanted to walk around the Park beforehand.. the whole date then was 2 hrs of walking in the Park and then he cancelled the movie and went home. Are walking dates common in your country? >it's hard to focus on talking and walking do americans REALLY?

A screenshot of an anonymous online discussion shows an American woman complaining that German first dates often consist of walking around instead of getting coffee or doing an activity. A reply sarcastically questions whether Americans really cannot talk while walking, turning her preference into the punchline.
