Is seeing a movie and then dinner really that bad of a first date idea? If so, how can I make this date better? (Page 2)

Question

So I'm really kinda worried about this because all over the internet everyone talks about how not only are movies a terrible first date idea but dinner is a horrible first date idea as well 😨 When I asked her out I didn't really think about the actual date that much because I was more concerned about her saying yes or or no or calling the police. When I came up with the movie/dinner idea I thought it was good because I love movies, she said she was into superhero movies, and there isn't anything else to do. Sure I could have gotten us a ride to the park by my house but nobody is ever there and the nearest fast food place is like a 3 mile walk (why do you think I hate bike rides). So that really wouldn't be romantic to walk in the hot ass florida sun to McDonald's or burger king would it? I picked chillis because it's the closest thing to an "upscale" restaurant near my house. I didn't want her to think I'm cheap and don't care (even though I'm poor as piss) and I didn't want to just see a movie and drop her off back at home, hungry and pissed off that we couldn't even have a decent conversation. So now that I've fucked up and learned my lesson, I'm asking gag how to fix this if it's really that bad. I can't really change the plans because I already brought the tickets and asked my sister to drive us around for the night. I plan on sitting next to her though when we eat I guess?  She keeps texting me and she seems really into me (she called me a gentlemen last night). I don't wanna fuck this up for her. With that being said did I have to reserve the seats for dinner? I have no fucking clue what I'm doing to be honest...

Why not make it simplw and cute? Would you really care about material on a first date? Or you'd care more about the partner's taste and how they'd think of something creative for you? I think that matters a lot more than a shallow dinner first date 🤷

Its not. I think its a great time to get to know them to be honest.

Dark93 · Answer

A first date should allow you to talk a lot, really get to know each other.
I would personally do dinner and then a movie so sitting next to them for whole movie in silence is less awkward.
I doubt you have to reserve seats for a chilis.

First date should be a place you 2 feel comfortable and easy for conversation , getting to know each other.

I think people say that because you can’t talk during a movie and so it’s harder to get to know the person but on the bright side it gives you something to talk about afterwards!

Mini golf.  A picnic.  Bowling.  Snooker/pool. These are some other great ideas. Good luck with your date.

A movie is never a good first date. You can't talk during a movie.

I didn’t have a good experience at the movies so I ended it before going to dinner and wasting my time but honestly it probably wouldn’t have been good anyways. He was way to handsy to my liking. But for some people movies and going out can be nice!

Rambler221 · Answer

I guess it's fine, but you definitely need to reserve seats at the restaurant. No sweat though - if you stuff this date up, which honestly anyone can, it's really just one of many you will inevitably go on.

Hurdleez-Swampede · Answer

It is a good idea but it's too much expected now and not unique. It's so routine to do that.
