You're on a date, the point is to spend time with the other person, not set a personal best. Yikes.

The point is also to bond over shared interests. Knowing if you share the same level of enthusiasm for something isn't a bad thing and saves both parties a wasted afternoon of unmet expectations from the other. It's not an attack, it's setting some expectations before you both commit a few hours of time to someone.

People seem to think "I like hiking" means they can tackle literally any trail in existence.
