I assume you are referring to a walk on a public street, in a park with people around etc. Why would this be any different than sitting in a bar or restaurant?? Some individuals would be more comfortable having the ability to walk and talk a first date rather than being forced to sit across the table or in on some bar stools in a noisy area trying to engage in small talk. Even for the chumrah fanatics, there is no issur on waking on a public street assuming there is no negiah or other inappropriate “body language”.
