I know, I know, it's lame and cliche, going to the movies, but I absolutely LOVE the movies. Not just watching a movie like you watch at home but the whole movie-going experience. The lobby that smells like popcorn, the long carpeted hallways, finding the best seats in the theatre and hoping nobody sits next to you, all of it.
So, we go to the movies. One of us buys the tickets, the other buys (or brings) the snacks. We get there early and find our seats and sit there and talk for a while. We talk about our jobs, my job doesn't gross you out (ask me about it), we keep up the flow of conversation, then before we know it the lights are going dim and the movie is starting. The movie is thrilling and kinda loud and a few times you jump and grab my sleeve, which makes me laugh to myself.
Then it's over and we leave and we mosy around the harbor talking about the movie, then start talking about our families, and we find ourselves walking into a small diner for dinner. It's easy to talk to you and vice versa because we make each other comfortable. We both hate small talk so we engage in real conversation with meaning and depth and it's easy.
It starts getting late so we leave and I walk you to your car (or whatever mode of transportation you use) and we stand around talking like we've known each other for years, possibly even lifetimes. When it's really late and we realize we can't make the day last longer just because we enjoy each others company, we make plans for next time. We hug, then part ways for the evening.
I think the main thing I want out of a first date is to be able to talk a lot with the person I'm on a date with, so I'm a big fan of simple things like getting drinks/coffee, or dinner and a movie. And going to see a mo... see more >>
I think the main thing I want out of a first date is to be able to talk a lot with the person I'm on a date with, so I'm a big fan of simple things like getting drinks/coffee, or dinner and a movie. And going to see a movie followed by dinner has the added bonus of making sure we have something to talk about so there will be fewer awkward lulls in the conversation
