Since me and my boyfriend have been dating we have only went to the movies for dates.
For months I have told him I would like to go somewhere else besides the movies for our dates but he never listened. We recently took a break and he contacted me last night asking if he could take me out on a date at a restaurant tonight I told him yes and he jokingly said not to embarrass him when we go. I feel like he was not joking because we literally only have been to the movies and if the theater was crowded he would complain the entire time saying he didn’t want to be there And whenever we would go to a store or mall he would always sit in the car and ask me to go in or he would go in and tell me he’ll be right back before I could even take my seatbelt off. I have never done anything embarrassing while we were out im not a mean or rude person and I don’t cause scenes. So why would he think Im embarrassing I asked him and he has been trying to avoid the conversation

That doesn't seem cool of him to say, sis. Like what does he even mean by that? You going out to dinner shouldn't be something for him to be "embarrassed" about.
It sounds like maybe he's self-conscious or something and takes things the wrong way sometimes when you're in public. But that's not your fault at all! You shouldn't have to walk on eggshells and worry about upsetting his pride just by being yourself.
If I were you I'd tell him straight up that comment bothered you and you don't deserve to be made to feel like a embarrassment. You go out to have a nice time together, not for him to judge you the whole time. There's nothing wrong with wanting to do more than just movies too.
Guys can be clueless, so maybe he doesn't realize how that came off. But make it clear you expect him to treat you with more respect when you go out from now on. And if he keeps acting that way, maybe rethink being with someone who's not proud to be with you, ya know? You deserve better than that!
Maybe he thinks you’re not physically attractive. Maybe he has another girlfriend which people know. Maybe he is a private person. Maybe he hates your laugh or something about you. I don't know ask him what’s going on girl
Maybe he thinks you're too good for him.
