Movies and dating - probably not a good mix

I think I'd rather date a guy that had a better music taste, than movies. But that's just me.

But again, like Chris said...it's nice to know if they have the same kind of sense of humor as well. For people, like me, that's important. :) But you don't need to watch a movie for that.
 
You got that right ;)

Kara- Thats not a bad idea, to have dinner first and then a movie. Why I never thought of that is beyond me. :goof:
 
Yeah, that makes sense, SuperGirl.

(And yes, Mr. GM, it's for the better - if I could only find someone around here to test out your theory of movies and dating, now!). :lol: Oh well.

While I haven't technically been to the movies with the most recent guy I've dated, they've definitely played a key role in my thinking about him. When I went to his apartment the first time he had Office Space playing on his television screen (my favorite scene, too - the death of the printer/fax machine). That same evening he recommended I see Snatch, and he played the soundtrack for me. I loved that movie and the soundtrack remains to this day one of my all-time favorites.

But we'd been flirting for months at that point, so you couldn't really consider that a solid part of early dating.

*ponders this a bit more*

Then again, one of my favorite...well, we'll call him a boyfriend since this is a family board - anyway, wonderful guy and still friendly (now happily married). The moment I realized his talented-artistically-but-dumb-as-dirt act wasn't an act was when I was trying to get him to read the synopsis of Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire (this was back a few years, obviously). I wasn't even sure if he was literate! He was, but just not - well, not super bright. Great guy, though.

:lol: Never realized how much movies really have played in my dating choices!
 
I think it depends on how well you know the person or not.

For a first date...not my kind of thing. For me, to be comfortable, I'd actually have to talk to the person I'm dating...you can't get to know them when you're sitting in a quiet theatre. And how can you decide from sitting through a movie if you want to continue dating that person? Because of their reaction to the movie? That's...not good enough for me. And that's coming from a picky person like myself. :lol:

So, maybe a movie after dinner or some other setting where you've gotten the dance to at least get a few sentences in. :P
