So I've been interested in this girl from my college for a while right, and I finally ended up asking her if she wanted to go out some time, she said yes and agreed on Monday night as the date (I'm pretty sure it's apparent that this is a date.... at least I hope anyway lol). I'm trying to decide what exactly to do for the date; dinner and a movie sort of seems like the standard, except all the movies out right now seem sort of.....lousy. Please recommend a movie, or an alternate date plan, thank you ^_^

BTW I've had girlfriends before, I'm just sort of bad at taking them out : \

Comedy is always a good choice. Makes her laugh and puts her in a good mood for everything else you got planned. That's why I say Seven Psychopaths.

I'd do something other than a movie to be honest. They're good for date nights when you're a couple and comfortable around each other but the first date you to want to speak and get to know each other not sit for an hour or two in silence in a dark theater.

Dinner and maybe a art gallery, local music show or something.

Well I've known her for a while as I said, We talk a lot at college and we've hung out quite a few times elsewhere, I just didn't actually ask her out til now.

Right now? Lousy? Huh?

My pick, out of your choices, is Argo, although you can't go wrong with Seven Psychopaths (if she's that kind of person) or Looper.

However, and it should still be playing, the best choice of the movies playing right now is Pitch Perfect. Seriously, it's so, so funny.

Why don't you just ask her what she wants to see?

It really depends on her taste in movies, if you're not bothered yourself. It's not like you're booking in advance, right?

Even if you are, just phone/text and ask which one she'd rather see.

Ah well then it's not a bad idea. Hmm only movie I know out of any of those is Argo. So i'll go with that. Good luck!

This. I mean it's good for a guy to confidently say "hey let's watch this." ..but as it's your first date I'd say ask her and find out what kind of things she likes so you know for the future.

I voted seven psychopaths, because it looks hard to go wrong with that one, but looper is a pretty safe bet as well. Gives you a bit to talk about afterwards, right?

How about you ask her what sorts of movies she likes? And if nothing in the theater strikes her fancy, then rent something. As a lady, I don't mind being swept off my feet and taken to some fancy restaurant, but when it comes to entertainment it's best to have a good idea of what you both like. Especially since this is isn't a fancy restaurant--it's dinner and a movie. Asking her opinion doesn't make you unconfident, it makes you considerate.

Seems like that should have been the obvious thing to do lol...... Knwing her she'll probably pick frankenweenie x D

Usually it's best to leave the going to a movie together experience for later in the relationship... Normally I take a girl out for tea and a walk for the first date, because tea(or coffee if you prefer it) is cheap for both of you, allows for conversation, and is one of those things that can last as long or as short as you desire, and tends not to put any pressure on either parties, that way you get to know eachother quicker, and if it doesn't go well you can part ways easier.

I mean, do what you wanna do, but usually a movie is second or third outing material, and by then you usually know whether it's a relationship developing, or just a disinclination towards loneliness keeping you seeing eachother.

More than 20% of the women I meet, either piss me off with their inane mindless babble, or bore me to the edge of sleep on the first outing, so coffee tends to allow me to keep it to half an hour tops in those cases, and saves me some grief...

I made the mistake of taking a woman to dinner for a first date once, the whole time all she talked about was her shoe collection, followed by the shoes she saw that she really wanted, this went on for TWO HOURS.
Needless to say when the end of the meal came around and I hadn't been given room for more words than it took for me to order my meal, I told her it wasn't working for me, and ended up wasting $20 on a meal(yes I made her pay for her own meal, I don't like to date women who expect me to pay for everything from the get go, because frankly, I don't want the foundations of a relationship to be built on me giving and her taking, because that tends to become more than a bit of a habit in a lot of relationships.) I wasn't able to enjoy, not to mention an entire evening in which I could have done a variety of other things, hell even cleaning the washroom would've been a more enjoyable evening.

However, there was a woman I took to a movie once for a first date, it was her choice of film, she ended up not liking the movie, associating that feeling with my face, and never speaking to me again... So don't say I didn't warn you about the possible bad side of the option.

Well from what I've heard it's pretty harmless (being an Adam Sandler movie) so it seems like a good idea for a first date. Probably save Seven Psychopaths for next week. Argo is nice but emotionally is more for couples that are in a committed relationship (i.e. once you've started sleeping together).
Frankenweenie is an Adam Sandler movie?

Well, upcoming Cloud Atlas is about two souls, whose love to each other lives in every one of their incarnations. I think "love, that transcends even time" is a good theme for a date movie.

Looper is a damned good movie in it's own right, and a friend highly recommends it for a date night movie. Let's just say that it worked for him and leave it at that.
