Date on the sofa

Yeah about those...I don´t get the point of meeting someone new and have a video night together. Is that a date? I don´t see it as one  If you don´t really know the person, would you be able to enjoy the silence of each other together? I think people have to be really comfortable with one another so they could enjoy being together in front of the tv. Am I being too deep? No, I mean watching video together is cozy and cuddly, what if you don´t know each other so well? You just gonna sit there and share pop and candy? Hahah Well it´s not soo weird, I mean I have done it. But I have met the guy for dinner and a night out first, so I mean we knew something about each other, not straight "meet you by the sofa " date hehe I just mean that it might be weird to do so. No? Yes? Anyone?
