Regarding a film, I'd say Sinister. If only because horror tends to act as an aphrodisiac. That's not me being silly, by the way, scientists actually worked this out. Being scared releases dopamine into your brain and makes you happy, and can act as a helper for romancegeK0 said:
.That being said, I'd recommend something other than a movie for a first date. You want to talk to her and get to know her a bit better, so just meeting for drinks and then going for a nice meal would be a better option. Otherwise, do something new and quirky that will keep her interest in you strong, while also giving you a chance to actually talk to her. Maybe take her to a comedy club or something
You really need to know her taste in movies. Traditionally horor is a good "date night" movie, but if she hates horror then you are just going to piss her off.
Argo is supposed to be great, but if you don't care about the subject matter that may not work. Seven Psychopaths is more a dark comedy so if she is looking for silly and not deranged then that may not work. Asking us to pick is a bad idea since you know her better then we do.
Personally I like a nice dinner and a walk through a cool part of town (I don't know where you live, is there a cool part of your town to walk through?). Movies can get kind of cliche, plus its 2 hours of not talking to each other and not getting to know each other.

Yeah I'd go with this. It's hard for me to make a recommendation without knowing her taste in movies. I would say an action, guy type movie isn't really good to take a girl to, but then maybe she likes those kind of movies. Besides, I know, like, fuck-all about dating.sky14kemea said:
Perhaps a beach or park for a relaxing night time stroll? Theme park? Local carnival/fair?
It really depends on where you are and what the girl likes...do you know what sort of stuff she's interested in or is this just sort of a "I've pined after her and now I asked, now what?" sort of deal?

Honestly, you're asking a lot of people who have never met this girl. Girls have different tastes in movies and these might all be equally good or equally bad choices depending on what she likes. Ask her what she wants to see or surprise her by picking one you're quite certain she will like.
This man has the truth of it. You'll look the boss when she's shitting herself and you're sat there with a total poker face. That is, unless you're also a giant wuss - in that case it might just backfire.Kenbo Slice said:Sinister, so she can be all up on you
Ask her what she wants to see, that's my vote. No two people are the same.
Find something you agree on. If you want like...that STATISTICAL recommendation, most girls I know love Tim Burton directed claymation. Frankenweenie should be a fun pick and the critics are having a collective seizure of joy about it, so yeah. You shouldn't be afraid to just flat out ask her what she wants. You'll get to learn more about her, so that's a bonus.
Doing that kinda thing starts some inside jokes. Establishing inside jokes is always healthy.

If you pick something really awful, it can start a lifelong bond. I've suffered through The Room and a Jay-Lo romantic 'comedy' with some friends and family, and we've never been closer.Slycne said:

First of all, I used to be one of these guys critical of going to the movies as a first date, for most of the reasons already stated. But then a friend's girlfriend said, "but it gives you something to talk about afterwards." So my revised opinion is that a movie is a good first date, provided you go for coffee or drinks or dinner or something conversational immediately afterwards. That way, you're not on the spot for things to talk about--you can always fall back on the movie.
Now, of your list, I've only seen Looper and Seven Psychopaths. Looper is extremely heady with a lot of tense conversations and interesting ideas, and occasional violence. Seven Psychopaths is a dark comedy with some great dialogue punctuated with scenes of tense drama and brutal violence, and a meta-commentary on screenwriting. Both are great fodder for conversation afterwards, if she's likely to lean either way.

People have been telling you to ask what she wants to see, and that is a better plan. BUT have a backup plan in case she is also indecisive. Girls, of course, like confidence in a guy but also like to choose for themselves. You get the best of both worlds if she's indecisive and leaves it up to you, which you already have an answer for.geK0 said:
Some say that movie dates are the easiest for first dates since you don't have to talk or look at each other. Problem is, you never know when to make a move or not. Is she expecting just a slow, fun evening for a first date just as a sort of stepping stone, or is she going in to see just how romantic you can get under the right circumstances? Not meaning to be stereotypical, but in my experience, everything was on me. I had to be the one to make all the moves, take the lead, or even hint that I was romantically interested, and she was just along for the ride. You have to be very discerning. And trust me when I say, if there's even a slight hint that she doesn't want you make the move you're making, abort immediately. Better to be safe than offending.
The best possible advice I can tell you is to take all this into consideration, but do not let it dominate your thoughts during the movie. Seriously, just relax, and if it feels right, then it feels right. Let it naturally progress. Some of the best things in a relationship come from straight up happenstance, so you just need to let it go and be yourself. If nothing good comes of it, then it wasn't meant to be or maybe you can try again with her some time.
Do something else go for a walk, clim a tree (I freaking love climbing trees ), go to a comedy club, do something.

It's six nested stories spread across various time periods, each part has it's own style and themes. Broadly speaking it's about the rise and fall of human civilisation. Love is certainly an element in some of the stories but it's not a major part of the book.VMK said:
Take her to a film you want to see.
If you are taking her on a date, you are showing her a bit of who you are by the film you go and see.
There is no point going and seeing an art-house film if that isn't your bag. If she doesn't like the film etc retort with, "Ok, your choice for the next flick" etc for the next date.
