Is going to a movie on a first date

Is that out of date when you are aged 19, 20 +

Someone said to me that that was okay when they were 13 but now its out of date.

Do you agree.

That person is stupid... there's no age limit on going to the cinema.

Going to the cinema is one of the most classy ways to do it actually :| I adore it...

hmm....i don't know...that's a good question. Maybe now I shouldn't ask that girl out to see a movie but think of something else to do...

bad idea, you dont get to talk.

No way, it's a good idea. Make sure you do something afterwards so that you get a chance to talk, though.

Yea aslong as you do something after it is fine, the film will atleast give you a conversation starter :P

I disagree about the whole "you can't talk" notion. After the movie, you go get a late night snack or a drink, and now you have something to talk about...the movie...if things are a little awkward at first. If they aren't then great, you can talk about whatever. But sometimes, I find it a little awkward on a first date, trying to find out what I have in common with the girl. But discussing a good film opens up all kinds of options.

...oh...forgot to answer the question...

No...movies are NEVER out of date. Whether you're 13 or 39, a good movie is always fine for a first date. Granted, as you get older, there might be other options that are just as good (or better), but the cinema is never going to go out of style.

The first date should always be one conducive to conversation. If there is no conversation (i.e. sitting in a movie) then you can't learn anything about the person you are with.

It's perfectly fine, just make sure it's a movie they like. Oh, and dinner after is a plus.

^^I agree...but that's exactly WHY I think a movie is perfect for that. You sit with someone for a couple of hours, just kind of getting 'comfortable' with them, then after the film, you go someplace where you can talk. And you now have at least one thing in common...the film you just watched. So it's a great jumping-off point for finding out what likes and dislikes you may have in common with the lady.

No I dont agree.

I think its perfectly fine.

It's a bad first date for a number of reasons..

1. Limited conversation time. You can't talk during a movie. It's better to take the person there once you've spent time getting to know them first. You should either do something before the movie or something after to avoid this common mistake.

2. It's pretty cliche. Makes you look boring, predictable.. girls don't really like that.. especialy when you're just getting to know each other.

3. Unless you're a directory, or an actor, it doesn't really give you a good topic of conversation to explore things about yourself she may find appealing. IT's best to stick to areas you're familiar with and introduce her to them.. so she can get a good idea about your personality.

As someone 20+ I don't find being taken to the cinema babyish, I think it's an awesome form of entertainment, and I always enjoy a good film. But I do think that for a first date it can be a bit limiting, I prefer to go to a bar and talk or something, cinema is better for the second date.

I disagree. It gets you comfortable with the situation and prepared to deal with the talking afterwards. Since you just saw a movie, asking the other person their thoughts on it is a good ice breaker. Just my opinion though.

Movie followed by dinner is always good.

No way, it's a good idea. Make sure you do something afterwards so that you get a chance to talk, though.

Good advice, or if things are going very well, bring a pocket knife so you can do the popcorn trick :P

movie on a first date is a good way to end the day

during the day, have lunch, dinner, chat with each other, etc. enjoy each others compnay

at the end of the day, then have a movie!

Pretty bad idea for a first date since you want to get to know the person and you can't really do that while watching a movie. Commander-Gree

That's why you go to dinner or a secluded area to stargaze after the movie, plus the movie can be a litmus paper of sorts for her sense of humor or personality.

That person is stupid... there's no age limit on going to the cinema.
