First Date at the Movies / Dating Tips?

I’ve liked this shy guy for a few months, and I finally asked him if he would like to go to a movie. I know a movie isn’t the best idea for a first date, but we both like movies. I want to know how we can still have a conversation, and go to a movie. I don’t won’t to go to dinner, I personally think thats too much on the first date. Any ideas, this is only my second date with any guy ever, so dating tips would be appreciated also.

I would recommend you go somewhere after the date either to get ice cream or bowling or something. The first date is really where you get to know the person, and you can’t really do that in a dark, surround sound room.

    Try getting to the theater a bit early so you can have a good conversation before the movie start. Flirt a little during the movie, and then you can talk some more after the movie.

    talk before the movie and after the movie, you don’t have to go straight home after do you? if not just hang out maybe go to an arcade or something simple. or maybe just go and get ice cream, cuz it’s not too formal or anything. just be chill with him.

    good luck!

    i went to the movies on my first date w/ my boyfriend too, it’s a perfect first date, cuz then it gives you something to talk about after.

    You can’t.

    Seriously, no one talks to each other at the movies.

    It’s entirely possible to say nonchalantly, "Hey, _____ just came up, and I was wondering if you’d be ok with doing ______ instead of seeing a movie, is that cool?"

    If he’s only going out with you because he wants to see a movie, then you’re wasting your time. So assume that you’re not wasting your time, and do something else. Go on a hike. Go to a mutual friend’s party. Anything. Don’t let the fact that you’ve mentioned a movie set you in stone.

    Yes….the movie was a bad idea. Some tips I suggest are if he tries anything, move away. Don’t be to nervous and check yourself every 1/2 hour to see if you are getting a bit to desperate. Just be cool and everything will fall into place. Of course, if he is a jerk, slap him and get a taxi home.

    Just a helpful tip: Always have enough money for bus fare(you know what I mean).

    I think that the movies is a great idea for a first date because it takes away the first-date awkwardness and any uncomfortable jittery feelings. You can’t really talk a whole lot, but maybe you could suggest getting some coffee or some ice cream afterward so you could talk. Good luck!

    ask questions that keep the converse. going, example: What do you want to be when u grow up? ( not a good idea for first date) get 2 know eachother

    idk thats pretty akward. if i were u try to show up late or when the previews already start so u dont have to just sit there with nothing to say for liek 15 minutes. during the movie just talk because if u just stop then it wont be akward because the movie is the distraction

    i dont know if you like to talk as much as i do during a movie, but little jokes or comments can bring two people closer together, and you’ll get to know each others likes/dislikes and sense of humour ;P its fun! and before and after the movie, you can always people watch or something as well and talk.

    You get the limo out front, ohh.
    Hottest styles every shoe,every color.
    Yeah, when you’re famous it can be kind of fun.
    It’s really you but no one ever discovers.
    Who would’ve thought that a girl like me.
    Would double as a superstaaaaaar!
    You get the best of both worlds,
    Chillin’ out,take it slow.
    Then you rock out the show.
    You get the best of both worlds,
    Mix it all together and you know that its the best of both worlds!

    Dinner and a movie is an AWESOME idea for a 1st date lol…well for me anyway…if the guy talks all during the movie or shouts at the screen I know we’re not gonna make it because thats my biggest pet peeve. At any rate…my boyfriend of 5 months now…our 1st date was movie and dinner…and it was dinner that we really got to talk..about the movie…and other crap lol…anyway…you can go for a walk…bowling, a arcade like someone else suggested.

    but my biggest tip…DON’T KISS ON THE 1ST DATE! dnt do it! and just Have Fun!

    Dating Tips For First Date at the Movies:
    Pick a good movie. First date movies should not be overly sentimental or emotional. Save the sappy tearjerkers or obvious chick-flicks for later in your relationship. Good first date movies are ones that have broad appeal and are not necessarily very deep. Look to comedies or action movies that are fun to watch but don’t make you uncomfortable with the subject matter. Movies with sex scenes or those about relationships can be a bit awkward on the first date.
    Share snacks. Sharing a tub of popcorn or a box of Junior Mints can be a way to connect on a first date, and lends a little bit of intimacy to an otherwise public affair. Offer to pick up the tab on snacks if your date bought the tickets, and use the experience of sharing a snack to learn a little bit about your date’s likes and dislikes. Your preferred movie snack can say a lot about your personality.
    I have discussed more on this topic on my blog.
