Tips for Making a Movie Theatre Date a Fun Date
By Michael Allen
Early in a relationship a movie theatre date can be a good experience depending on compatibility and your choice of movie. It is usually a good idea to stay away from an overly romantic movie. A date who is crying in a movie theatre is rarely a fun experience. As well, action movies or overly violent cinema could be given a pass. After seeing a lot of violence few daters will be in the mood for romance once the movie is over. The best movie choice might be something lighter in content like a comedy, or satire (think "Superbad," or "Knocked Up"). Laughing releases endorphins and relaxes both parties, making the experience enjoyable whether there is a romantic link to your partner or not. Some daters take their significant other to a horror movie but this tends to be a riskier choice. First, many women or men might not see the horror genre as a fun experience and simply refuse to go. Check out your partner's preference. But if your date says yes then chances are good that he or she might be in your lap or clutching your arm halfway through the movie. The risk of rejection and permanent nail marks are low, while the reward of a closer connection are high. So use your judgement. One of the positives of taking a date to a movie is the close physical contact. Author Glen Weyl states, "Despite its appearance and reappearance in a variety of silly television programs and movies, putting your arm around your date's shoulder is strictly forbidden - especially when this move is played off as a yawn and stretch." Despite, this advice do whatever makes you comfortable. If your date is glaring at you then it is probably not a good idea to put your arm around them, grab their knee or hold their hand. Wait for your dater's mood to shift or simply keep you hands to yourself. If he or she is smiling some light contact is fine but be respectful of other movie patrons and save the heavy groping, kissing etc for later. Let the intensity build (Dating...). Some authors and dating "experts," will say that the reason a theatre date is a bad choice, early in a relationship is due to the difficulty in talking and getting to know the other partner. This is partially true and there are several remedies. Go to coffee before or after your movie. Another option is to arrive at the movie early so there is time to catch-up with your dating partner. Sharing a movie experience already creates topics for both parties to discuss after the film. As well, by going to a comedic movie, with a date it is possible to judge the other person's sense of humour. If they are laughing at violence then they have a dark sense of humour, laughing at the dry parts means cynical, at ridiculing banter sarcastic, and at funny dialogue witty. Have fun and use a comedic movie experience as a psychological tool to learn more about your date's personality. While the majority of daters will say stay away from the movie theatre as a first or second date, judge for yourself. Get to know your partner's preferences and pick a movie that will be enjoyable for both you and your date. Keep it light and have fun.
