First Dates are always problematic. After all, your choice here is giving your new special someone some significant clues as to who and what you really are. Will you look cheap? Will you look like you are trying to impress her by spending too much money? The choice of date and venue really does say a lot about you, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the girl you are taking out is analyzing every bit of it like a dog chewing at a bone!.
The worst thing about a movie date can also be it's best thing. It is hard to talk during a movie. In fact it is frowned upon. So that is bad. On the other hand, it gives you both a chance to get used to being around each other without a lot of pressure on anyone's part to keep the conversation flowing. So that is good. The movie itself will help to stimulate conversation after the movie is over, and give you something to do before you take her home. The worse the movie is, the better, in a way, because you can both mock it into the wee hours of the night.
Once you are at the movie, your next problem is what to buy for treats. A movie stalwart is popcorn, but is that the best choice? It has the advantage of being inexpensive, but the disadvantage is the propensity for it to stick in your teeth. Also, if your date wears dentures, then popcorn is a no-no. Consider chocolate candy like M&M's. Most women and most men like chocolate. For drinks, try to stay away from anything that is gassy or fizzy like soda pop because they will make you belch and that is not going to leave a favourable lasting impression. Most theatres will offer various types of non-carbonated beverages. One favourite is iced tea. No matter what your final decision is, remember that if you intend to also go out after the movie, then you might want to limit your eating while at the theatre.
Good Movies
Even within a genre, there are good and bad choices. You are looking for something that mixes romance into the plot line, so selection is important. Hopefully you are taking her to a Cineplex type of theatre that gives you a lot of on the spot choices. This means that before the date, you should have done some research into what movies are playing at the venue where you are taking her. Be prepared!
Three examples of good first date movies would have been:
1. Comedy –Any Bill Murray comedy – get her laughing! If she’s having a good time and smiling, you’ll have a good chance at holding hands.
2. Drama – Some of the Victor Hugo classics like Les Miserables, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, or Tale of Two Cities. I do not know how he does it, but the movies always seem to have an optimistic and upbeat ending, even while the subject matter is based on tragedy and misery by and large.
3. Romance – Any Disney romance is good.
That being said, here are some examples of first date movies that would classify as a bad idea:
Bad Movies
Stay away from anything where someone dies at the end (unless of course the person that dies is the villain)! These would be examples of BAD choices:
1. Holocaust Movies – The Diary of Anne Frank would be horrible for a first date.
2. Sob Stories – Brian's Song – great movie – sucks for a first date though.
3. Adventure Movies – Conan – Don’t go to any movie where the main actor is shirtless and muscular. Otherwise, you’re risking a comparison where you will not come out on top.
Stay away from Erotica or Porn! These are just too over the top for a first date and will surely be relationship ending.
Good Luck and have fun!

It’s always hard to decide what to do for the first date with someone. You don’t want to take her to mini-putt if her grandfather recently had a heart attack on the golf course, for example, even though mini-putt is awesome fun. A great sure-fire first date is the movie date. By that, I mean going out to the cinema to see a movie rather than renting a movie. Renting a movie is a good date idea when things are about to get physical, but this is about the first date.
Primarily, the movie date is great because the responsibility of maintaining conversation is significantly reduced, and you’re free to just be near each other. You can use your peripherals to check her out and her reactions without staring. Plus, when the movie is over, it’ll give you a chance to talk about the film, if nothing else is coming to mind. The worse the movie is, the better, in a way, because you can both mock it into the wee hours of the night.

Good Movies
There are obviously movies that will put her in a romantic mood, and maximize your chances at first base. The first thing you should do is to ask her what she likes, and go from there. Scary movies are good, but not gory movies. You want her jumping and grabbing you, not vomiting into the licorice bag.
Three examples of good first date movies would have been:
1. Comedy –Adam Sandler has an amazing ability to pull off comedy with romantic interest in most of his movies.
2. Drama – Anything with Meryl Streep is a winner by and large.
3. Romance – Princess bride – The perfect first date movie. Got me my first boob squeeze in the back of a theatre to this film.
That being said, here are some examples of first date movies that would classify as a bad idea:
Bad Movies
Stay away from movies involving tragedy! These would be examples of BAD choices:
1. Holocaust Movies – The Diary of Anne Frank would be horrible for a first date.
2. Sob Stories – Million Dollar Baby – Eastwood and Swank did an amazing job in this movie. I loved it. It is exactly what not to take a date on, as it only ends in sadness.
3. Adventure Movies – Most Bruce Willis adventure movies are just plain bad choices for a first date. Too much blood, guts and gore for the most part.
What ever you do, stay away from Porn!
Good luck! And god willing, she’ll act like Alanis Morrisette did in the theatre 

Relationship Advice For Men
When you start dating a new woman regularly, eventually you’re going to start sleeping over at her place. At least, you hope you are! Once that starts happening, the smart dater will have a sleepover kit ready at her place at all times. The essentials that I list here can easily fit into a small zipped up bag and stashed in your car. At some point, it should be possible for it to become a permanent fixture at her place. Read, see the wisdom, and get yourself one today!
Something For Your Feet
Your girl may be a wonderful person to be with, but that does not necessarily mean that she is the worlds best housekeeper. On top of that, the floors in her apartment may be freezing in the winter. Pick up some cheapo slippers so you have something to slip on if you have to hit the john in the middle of the night. Nothing is worse than going back to bed with cold feet.
Protection
Better safe than sorry. But also, better adventurous than boring. Get yourself some of the new fangled rubbers they’ve got out now. Have some laughs with it and mutually decide which ones you both like best. Unlike American Idol, even the losers in this tryout might have a lot of entertainment value!
Warmup Suit
On the same note as the footwear, you want to bring a sweatsuit in your overnight bag. Likely her landlord lowers the temperature at night to save moola. She might only have one little blanket. Long story short, it’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. Otherwise, you’ll have to borrow one of her shawls.
Toothbrush
This is a no brainer. If you are like me you abhor using someone else's toothbrush, and do not like using another brand of toothpaste either. Buy the travel size toothpaste tube to save room.
Tapers
You just cannot beat the affect that candles have on a woman. Whether you use them over a meal, to watch TV, or in the bedroom, they are a great mood setter!
Sabrina
This movie is one of the greats for getting a woman into a romantic move. So keep this handy, dandy little gem around for the next time you are not in the mood to go out, the video stores are closed and there is nothing good on the 85 or so cable TV channels available to you. In any event, the content is good, so it bears multiple viewings. It may not be a Bruce Willis shoot-em up movie, but if it gets you shooting your own gun later in the evening, that makes it great content!
Romantic Card
here is a beauty that you probably wish you had thought of before! Get a blank card in the romance section of a card rack; something with a nice picture that signifies a romantic situation. Inside, you have already taped a pre-paid $100 gift card to whatever store she likes. Now draw a big heart or something, and write in a romantic comment like, “On a day like today, I am always reminded how much I love you”. You have to make sure that whatever you write does not have any reference to any particular special occasion or special day. Then some fateful day will surely come when you have forgotten some important anniversary, or birthday or something. You go to your sleepover bag, pull out the card, and give it to her. Presto – your ass is no longer grass! Tell your buddies.
Ear Plugs
Everyone snores sometimes, even hot chicks like the one you are dating. If you cannot sleep, just pull the plugs from your bag and put them on. Just make sure that you never use them when she is trying to talk to you!
Sleep Mask
Some women have bedrooms that face the rising sun, and that fill with light early in the morning. Some women can sleep through this blinding light, but if you can’t you’re prepared. Plus, you or she can wear it if you want to have some kinky sex.
Next Day’s Clothes
An emergency change of clothes is essential as well. I mean, after all, if you do not have spare clothes and something happens, you will have to dress in drag.
Sade Music
Sometimes musical tastes differ, and this is one of the things that makes the world and interesting place to live in. However, when it comes time to play something to enjoy when making love, if her tastes run exclusively to Celine Dion, it can be impossible to concentrate on what you need to. Everyone can get groovy to Sade.
Hardcover Book
It is always good to have some reading material if she has to leave you alone for a while. It prevents you from snooping, and it makes you look smart when she comes back and you’re reading. Stay away from nudie books. Most women hate that. If you can stomach it, try bringing and reading the latest Nicholas Sparks book.
So, there you go. A great idea, easy to make, and invaluable.

Going on a movie for a first date is almost a no-brainer. It will not put you into any dreamy romantic category as the guy who gave me the coolest and most unique date ever, but on the other hand, it is sort of expected, and usually a pretty safe bet. Certainly it is less stressful to you than say – asking her to go sky diving, or zip lining, or some other off the wall thing.
The worst thing about a movie date can also be it's best thing. It is hard to talk during a movie. In fact it is frowned upon. So that is bad. On the other hand, it gives you both a chance to get used to being around each other without a lot of pressure on anyone's part to keep the conversation flowing. So that is good. The movie itself will help to stimulate conversation after the movie is over, and give you something to do before you take her home. The worse the movie is, the better, in a way, because you can both mock it into the wee hours of the night.
Next consideration is what to get for treats. I recommend a shared popcorn bag. It establishes immediate intimacy, in that you’re sharing food. Plus, you might end up going for popcorn at the same time, and inadvertently end up with your first handhold. I recommend coffee rather than pop, because it means less belching. However, you now have coffee breath, so you’ll also need mints. Stay away from the hot dogs and nachos- they WILL make you fart.

Stay away from movies involving tragedy! These would be examples of BAD choices:
1. Holocaust Movies – Schindler’s List – Nothing involving the holocaust, if possible. Human tragedy tends to fizzle make-out opportunities.
2. Sob Stories – Brian's Song – great movie – sucks for a first date though.
3. Adventure Movies – Spaghetti Western Series from Clint Eastwood – just bad choices overall, and he is too good looking. You would just diminish by comparison to him.
What ever you do, stay away from Porn!
Good luck! And god willing, she’ll act like Alanis Morrisette did in the theatre.
