if op was smart he would have made sure she knew it was a date and that she knew he liked her. and if she did know all this and still asked him to text his best friend then she's a bitch and he should of told her that he would be back then either go watch another movie by him self then leave after it or just left her there all by her self and her dead phone so she could walk home. either way he should not had her in his car after the movie

then he wouldn't have made a big deal out of it, in my own opinion

Come on...a movie is still be a great dating choice. I always have plenty to talk about right after the movie ends. You can still learn about a person's personality by watching their body language during a movie. Ex: Are they rude by talking through out the movie, do they share their ju ju beans, do they try to cop a feel too early on in the date?etc.... Just a thought.(:

After a movie is a great time to talk but it's still 2 hours during the movie where you're presumably sitting next to an almost complete stranger - First dates are supposed to be about easing tension and getting to know each other. . . All you get from a movie is how perverted that person may/may not be - Afterwards you discuss the movie and end up not learning much about the other person.

I would think that watching the movie for two hours would ease the tension of being together with someone you're not sure you'd get along with. The pressure is off of feeling like it's a job interview with the questions about jobs and cars. Especially, with some one you don't know very well. And I would think a movie date would continue after the movie. But I do see where you're coming from. Where I work, I've seen many first dates end up in dead silence because they don't know what to talk about. But if they had just seen a movie......

If a first-date ends in total silence it probably isn't going very far from there. . a movie isn't going to help that.

Egnar, I do enjoy reading your comments but now you have me wondering what you talk about on your first dates? I agree that it's about getting to know a person but there are only a few questions that are acceptable to talk about on "first dates". They are meant to be light and fun and about small talk and things you enjoy. One of the best things to talk about are "movies". Ex: Did you see 300? What did you think? What about "The Lady with the Dragon Tattoo? I saw Thor but not in 3-D blah blah blah. I think you may be expecting too much for a first date. No one bares their sole that soon.

Sour no offense but your profile has you as being married to your High School sweet heart - Frankly, you've been out of the dating scene since before you were ever really in it. . . Yes a first date is supposed to be light and fun, but a movie, is just tense sitting next to somebody you don't know for 2 hours quietly. . .Can movies be talked about on a first date? Sure, you use probing questions about movies, and hobbies/activities to find out about the a person - But you do it while being distracted from the tensity of being in the presence of someone completely new.

VS sitting in front of them one on one hoping you have enough subject material to keep them interested in you. Yes, you are correct, I have been out of the dating scene for..... But I still meet strangers at my job and since I get paid by tips, I need to get to know them one on one. They need to feel comfortable enough to return. Hence, a second date. Not a romantic one but a date non the less. I always talk about movies, concerts/music and sports (I know a lot, especially for a girl). I'm sorry I'm rambling on. Can you tell I'm a huge movie fan? Lol Oh and I still go on dates with my husband if that counts!(:
