Would you prefer to go to dinner on a date or dinner and a movie all rolled into one?

Never could get into dinner and a movie. Dinner is fine, but adding a movie isn't that cool to be honest. I want a date that involves us doing something where we're also learning about each other. Watching a movie doesn't give you that opportunity.

Doing dinner, lunch, going bowling, walking around shops and talking, going to events, etc. all give you chances to chat and learn about one another, which to me is important in the early stages of dating. A movie isn't very educational in the sense of getting to know someone and should come later.

I have never tried that but could be great for parents who have a babysitter and you want to kill two birds with one stone. The amount of time to grab dinner then go see a movie could be 5 hours so this could be a smart way to save some time.

A movie s a good dte idea for people who feel awkward or inexperienced with dating, because you sit for two hours with no expectations of extended interaction, and after the movie, you naturally talk about the movie, the characters, etc., and it stimulates discussion. Whn I was last dating, I felt very confident with maintaining a conversation and being comfortable and I dd not need such a crutch. So, for me, I prefer a dinner date at a nce, quiet restaurant because we can have good conversaton, I see how my date interacts with wait staff (I don't tolerate rudeness,) how she dresses for a nice date, her manners and decorum. And I always suggest forst dates at restaurants that have a lounge so that, after dinner, if all is going well, I can suggest that we retire to the lounge for an after dnner drink.

For me, it depends how well I know you. If I do not then i am looking for shared time to talk and bond. If this is the case then a slower and broken process is preferred as it is easy to speak at a beforehand dinner.

If I know your boring Arse then, yeah, both simultaneously because the less I hear your voice the better. And often, talking in that situation is difficult. Nonverbal expression and communication time... see if we really relate Testing. Plus I am a share food guy so I get to feed you... touch your hand... and stupid stuff like that.

Forms of foreplay kind of thing...

My friend died 11 years ago but I used to meet up with him and around 20 other people for a buffet and show at stage West hotel in the afternoons. It was a good experience but I think food without shows or shows without food is more enjoyable. You can’t have a conversation in a movie theatre and you can’t kiss and hold hands at a dinner table. This was just a friend but I’m saying for a date, you appreciate things more if it’s just one highlight in a single date.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

This wasn't a date, but I did go with one of my guy besties to a movie theater that you sat at a table, and they served you dinner while you watched a movie. That place is no longer around but they had good veggie pizza. I think it'd be perfect for a date since you get to learn what the other person likes.

[OfMiceandMen]

I'd rather due dinner at a restaurant and then go to the movies afterwards. Combining the two seems rushed and I am less likely to enjoy the movie when someone's crunching on nachos beside me or clanging their forks and knives against their plate while they try to cut off a piece of steak while the movie is playing.

[Kabluie]

We've done the movie grill date before. Where you can order drinks and food to be delivered to your movie seat. I really like it because there is also a bar or restaurant in the lobby, so you can stick around before or after the movie to chill to another drink.

[Fireguy17]

while movies are great, it is hard to get to know anyone sitting in silence.
You can talk about the movie afterword, but I don't think movies are all that great for the first few dates.
I do like eating during the movie, but it can be a bit of a distraction to try to eat and watch the movie at the same time.

[JustinTheGreat]

i think dinner at the movies would be fun if you’re already in an established relationship.

but movies aren’t a good idea for a first date. The first date is when y’all are starting to get to know each other. Can’t do that at a movie.
if you are going to do a movie for the first date, then you should get dinner before or after so you have that opportunity to have conversation.

[DizzyDesii]

I don’t mind snacking but I dont care for dinner dates. I’m hardly going to eat while I’m out with someone.

[LittleSally]

A movie and then a walk.

Perfect - then you always have something to talk about on the walk - the movie at least. And then segway to other topics.

[melanieeeB]

First date? Dinner only, I have to talk and figure him out a little

3rd date? Movie and dinner is great

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Dinner. Dinner and movie leaves no room to talk, really.

[PainusNdeeAnus]

Dinner and a movie is awesome especially if you get high first

[Anonymous]

Unless it was just us in the theater it might not be that good because you can’t really talk and it’s hard to see what you’re eating in a dark theater

[Nikki1989]

Dinner. I don't like most movies.

[DermalPunch]

Movies are lame as dates.

[LovingJo]

Dinner and a movie is always a good date

[exitseven]

Just the dinner and then the sex.

[Mayo503]
