Why would anyone ever go to a movie on a date...particularly a first date.

I think for some people, that's just easier. Direct interaction is more difficult and a movie is an accepted way to spend a date that doesn't require direct interaction. I'm put in mind, though, of a couple that dates without ever really getting to know one another, eventually gets married after five years based purely on momentum, has a marriage without any meaningful communication and then, twenty years on, each one wonders about the other, "Do I even like this other person?" But by then, they have children and feel the obligation to stay together and end up dying without ever answering that question.

That's where first date movies lead. Beware!

Date movies are for wussies. Unless you're planning on getting a BJ in the theater.

Yes, I died without ever finding out.

First date movies lead to zombie-ism as well. So watch yourselves. ;)

A drink and a game of pool on the other hand is a great first date. You get to check out all the "angles" of your date if you know what I mean!:devilwink:
 
Wow, this thread really shocks me. I often think that if I started my career over, instead of being an author and business columnist, I would become a movie reviewer.

Am I the only one here who LOVES movies?

I use to watch a ton of movies and even owned a video store. At one time probably watch 90% of the new movies coming out and have seen a ton of the classic horror/scifi/mystery-suspense(A.Hitchcock etc.) from 1930-present. I also have seen all the Bonds movies many times and have them all on DVD or BluRay. I haven't seen the new Bond movie though. It started for me maybe a year ago or a little longer but I very rarely go to the movies now and hardly even rent movies anymore. Just not much that looks that interesting to me anymore. In the last 1-2 years I have maybe been 2-3 times to the movies and maybe rented 10 movies. I have a huge DVD/HD-DVD and Blu Ray collection and do love a lot of those movies and would watch them again when I get time or someone over that hasn't seen them. 1950's SciFi/Horror are my favorite movies ever. I know they are not "cool" compared to todays movies but I grewup watching them and still love them.

If you're going to spend money on a date, go bowling....that tends to be pretty decent in my experience because it allows me to be run my game.

Well, wrong gender, but, maybe that's why my first date movie relationship did not work out?

But bowling? No way. Maybe we could have gone dancing or something. I'll keep it in mind for the future.
