girl help: My First Date in a Lo-o-ong time. - Help.com

Go see the romance movie with her. Probably give you chick points….;)
You don’t have to pretend to like it, she already knows that you aren’t so interested, I’m sure with the whole why see it–it got bad ratings.

If you do the dinner and a movie thing, i would suggest going to dinner before the movie, so you don’t have to talk about it…

Well…is there another movie out that you’d rather see, that she might like as well? Or you could be completely insane, and do what my friends do—which is double feature weekend, once a month they’ll go see two matinées and have lunch in between. I couldn’t afford it, but they can. lol

Firstly, do you think she is the type to try and “whip” you? My advice? Don’t overanalyze it so darn much! You already let her know your point, so at this point you will be seen as “compromising” and “considerate” as opposed to “easily whipped.”

Now, I’m largely in the same boat as you on the whole dating thing, and I’d say spending time with a girl you like is more important than having a good movie going experience. Honestly, though I am an artist by trade I still have to say that they are both “just movies,” nothing will change that. In a few years you probably won’t remember the details of either one! Just relax and enjoy the date.

It’s about compromise.. not being whipped. Maybe have her pick the movie, but you pick the place for dinner? Or, you can pick a movie you both want to see.

It’s also one date and the first date.

Just because she gets her way this time doesn’t mean you’ll always let her choose. Don’t freak—have fun!!!

yes.. relax and have fun. Don’t overanalyze. Just be you because she must like you to want to go on a date with you :-)

one last piece of advice… if you go see her movie… and it sucks… don’t rub it in. She’ll know it sucked and will feel bad… so try to put a positive spin on it. That way if the movie sucks, it won’t ruin the night.

Let’s think about this for a minute… You want to get to know her, right? How much talking do you do during a movie? Not to **** much. So here is an alternative, go play a few games of pool with her. That way you both have fun, you get to talk to her and know her a little better and you have the added benefit of side stepping the movie thing. If you don’t like pool, try bowling (I know sounds goofy - but it can be alot of fun!) or horse back riding, hiking. Anything like that.

Best advice - relax, have fun and be yourself. Don’t forget to smile at her!

omg i KNOW that dilemma cuz i always look on rotten tomatoes too!!! augh!! sucks!! if she’s insistent - that sucks - you can decide whether to accommodate or not but i Hate seeing awful movies too (and rotten t. usually knows!)..well, i’d hope she’d pick another…if not, just go…yeah, try to switch..and if not, oh well..ick - yeah - can you skip the movie thing?

YAAAY!!!! i sentcha a shout astro…fyi…

Astro congrats—let us know how it goes…maybe let her pick the food. :P
