Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2006 Animation doesn't work for first dates, DVC brings up the possibility of a post-movie religious confrontation, MI3 is popcorn fare. SNE by all accounts will have her walking out because of the absurd stupidity of it all. Also, I've found going to a movie you already seen before hand is a good thing. This way you know the story and the "it" moments, so you know when to compliment her, play around a little(although I have a feeling it won't be an issue for you) and you don't need to focus on the movie as much.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 No, MI3 is the choice to take. It's a popcorn movie, which means you can get into it but not have to pay complete attention to it while talking/playing with each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedJed 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Poseidon is a good date movie - lovey dovey shit in it too, but then again so does MI3. Either one is a good date movie. Bottom line, you got your chance now full out - just be chill and see what happens. If she starts dropping body language hints when you two hang out, dude - you better fucking go for it because if you dont, there is your chance you had to maybe get into a relationship and you might not have it again if the first time is a letdown for her or she just generally sees its not going to go anywhere because of your lack of taking control of the situation. She seems from these messages genuinly interested in you and considering all the shit you've been throwing her way with the back and forth behaviour, consider yourself very lucky you still have this chance. Make the most of it, period! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Not to be a negative nanny... But, if you do end up meeting "Heaven", Marv... I'd be careful. Just about every female I know would have stopped talking to you weeks ago. This smells a little fishy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Wait, is this movie only? I don't approve of movie only first dates. There's very little time to adjust to each other, while you might know each other via IM/Net, it's another world once you actually meet them. There's a reason that dinner usually proceeds a movie for first dates, to get comfortable. While 99% of girls know what will happen after the first five minutes, dinner offers a chance for her to open up and that leads to more intimacy during the movie. Going into a movie cold is always a risk for first dates, especially when you don't know them particularly well in person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Im actually for some reason taking an optimistic view on things (Id hate to think I've turned over a new leaf and become an optimist all of a sudden..) It has to be blatantly obvious to her that I have no experience at all when it comes to dating and the like, and if she's willing to put up with my blundering around like she has than thats definitely a plus in my favor. I really doubt that I will end up lucky enough to find/meet someone else with the same patience for a 24 year old without a lick of experience.. Granted, Im expecting this to not work out in the long run, but if I can get a few dates out of it at least I can chaulk it up to experience/learning lesson and move on then that would be a big sucess for me. Oh, and unfortunately time restraints eliminate the possibility of dinner or anything else before the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand that, but its taken me a good 8-10 years longer than most to even get motivated to try, and I haven't even managed anything more than 3 horrible meeting experiences.

You don't need money to get laid, well okay maybe YOU do but the whole process of dating and meeting someone isn't dependant on money. Umm, that's a little arrogant there on your part to assume I'd want to place myself in your life; isn't it? Right now, I am happy with myself. I am proud for the most part of my personality and my physique though I wish I could have more muscle as I am too skinny. I am frustrated with my depression and at times my shyness however. Yes, I know you don't need money to get laid but it actually does help quite a bit and physcologically I need that for my confidence with women. I can be extremely self concious (however you spell that) It's just the way I am. Maybe it's partly because I've never had much money my whole life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
