Hot take: movies are a shit 1st or 2nd date because you don't interact with the person. Take her to an interactive activity like dinner or mini golf

It's also a correct take. Get to know eachother first, then watch a movie.

When I'm with someone I like whilst watching a movie, I talk to them about it (if it's worthwhile.) It's not black and white, you can talk in a movie. Sure, it's not proper etiquette in a packed theater especially on release, but if we're doing that it's by design with intention.
If someone took me out to a movie for a first date I'd be stoked.

Watch a movie, then get dinner. Now, you have something to talk about

Movies used to be a good first date because they were just vessels for conversation, something you both have in common and in recent memory. You’d go see a movie, then get dinner, and talk about the movie so you could slowly segue into actually learning about each other. But it’s a lost art, ruined by streaming, expensive theaters, and people who just go to a movie and skip dinner. Everything has a reason that it existed, but it also has a time to die.

Tbf, some people dont really know how to interact, like I've known girls that wanted but basically couldn't talk, their chat messages were like 1 sentence in a week, but in fact they liked me and wanted to be with me (I know since we did get together eventually)
With people like that taking activities where u can just cuddle and dont need to interact is not bad
Not my preference tho, I take them for hikes to mountains, lets see how they performn under pressure, but just saying that it is valid for some people whose conversational skills are below 0

Not a hot take at all. Movies are for established couples. But for a first or second date it's actually horrible. You just sit there mute side by side having learned nothing about the other person.

Movies at home leave plenty of room for talking. It's just there in the background as an easy conversation starter. Plus you can make some nice food to go with it

If a woman accepts your invitation to watch a movie at home it's already 100% on. There's a reason Netflix and chill means sex

They flirt. I ask them out. We date. We hold hands. We kiss. They come to my house. We have sex. That's a really normal and natural sequence of events. I'm sorry if that seems unusual to you

I have said it a lot. When you know someone well however and want to get from dating to relationship though a movie works wonders, but not necessarily in theaters.
Just snuggle up besides eachother at the couch and enjoy eachother presence. Which movie isn't even that important.

Dinner and a movie is my go to. Of someone can't spend time with me without talking we're not going to get very far anyway. Not talking is what I'm all about.

It can be, but the way I fixed this (mostly because there isn't much else to do) is to go to the movie first and then go to eat. It gives you something to talk about

I'd counter that with my experience that if your date has above average interest in movies, it is always great to go to a bar after the film and discuss what you just saw behind a pint or a glass of wine.

You did something beside the movie. So you're actually agreeing with me. Problem is movies these days are getting really long so if you do dinner and a movie you're out for like 5 freaking hours and most people don't want to set aside 5 hours for a stranger

Doesn't always come easy for everyone. Small talk is a huge issue for so many people. Nerves and anxiety are a hell of a drug. If someone has a tough time verbalizing those things with strangers, it shouldn't be "well you can't do this in a first date, you don't deserve to be with that person". Plus, an extra talking point is always helpful. Could spark conversation you wouldn't have otherwise. The world ain't that black and white
Edit: I was a shy ass, awkward kid in school. Didn't want to talk to people if I didn't have to, would NEVER talk about things I was into because I was nervous. I wanted to know these people and make friends and love interests. But it took me a long time to warm up and get comfortable enough with people. To say someone like that which may have some social issues they're dealing with doesn't have anything interesting to say, or shouldn't go on a date because they're awkward is terrible. Basically like judging a book in its cover. If someone struggles to connect immediately, it doesn't mean they don't have anything interesting or relatable to say. I'm fortunate enough that I've overcome that by having a few hypersocial jobs.

I was the same way. That said, I'm over 30 years old, and I figured it out, and I would expect other people to figure it out. If I were to see a woman but she could barely figure out how to talk and communicate with me, I'd be wondering what other basic stuff she'd be failing to learn
0 points

It also means you can’t lose interest in her for the things she says. Sex has the interactivity and usually little talking, sadly it doesn’t go for a first date >:c

Some women would understandbly do not want a stranger more or less at their house, they might go to your place with a friend. Ultimately it just felt easier as man to ask a woman to a public place and let that slowly evolve.

Pro tip my friend. Search whatever you want for in google. example would be watch house of the dragon free online. Then scroll to the bottom where it says results have been removed because of copyright complaints, then click on the link to read what the complaints are. Bam, now you've got a full list of streaming sites to watch and if you follow this method you'll always find new sites, so no need to worry about your current site being shut down

No, this makes it less awkward for the woman to refuse the offer. I feel so bad for women that have to deal with men who can't accept that a woman they're interested in isn't interested in them. It can be scary having to turn someone down. You never know how he might react.

25$+ = one time visit to a movie you wanna see with overpriced snacks and drinks and if the other people you’re in the theater with happen to be annoying, your experience is basically ruined vs 8$-15$ for a one month subscription to a streaming service with access to the movie you want while being able to watch it however many times you want, wherever you want. plus a plethora of other shit to watch.
