A Not So Cosy Night In For Two

Imagine your boyfriend (or girlfriend) had prepared a wonderful night in for just the two of you, you've been waiting to get him alone for months and finally the night has been arranged, and you can't wait! He's gorgeous and he's your dream guy! You get all excited and you turn up at your boyfriends place and he's got everything in, the curtains are closed, it's dark, it's romantic and he wants you on the sofa with him
Getting good hey!
Then as he puts his arm around you, he turns the film on, it's a nasty, horrific, gorey brutal horror film, we are talking blood, guts, the lot!
Think of the goriest film you can think of, ten times worst than Hostel, Saw, Halloween, Friday 13th, you get the picture
Do you snuggle up to him and hide, do you watch it, brave it out or do you get up and tell him you've got to go and go home? Do you scream at him at how insensitive he is, or do you tell him to take you home?
What would be your reaction?

I would rather ask him to watch THE FAMILY THAT PREYS instead, I just went to see last night and it was so hilarious yet very touching... a lot of lessons you can learn.

That would be fantastic. My other half is such a wimp, he goes out while I watch "Holby" which contains about as much gore as Barney the Dinosaur. Anyway, romance is ok but it would be nice to have someone who is interesting and who wouldn't squirm at the thought of watching something gory. I love watching that sort of thing but not by myself. As it is, however, my other half wouldn't watch a gory film or do anything romantic!

Is this true? Well, if it does happen to me, I will tell the guy in subtle manner that I don't want to watch horrible movies. I'd rather engage in simple talks than wasting my time watching.

I, for one, try to avoid all horror films, especially the gory ones where one gets sawed and the audience gets to see how it's done. But then again, I've heard that men take women to watch horror films to get them to cuddle up and possibly get some
"pow chika pow wow". I think I'll tell him I'd rather not watch the film and just make another plan or just set another date. I don't think horror films are romantic at all.

I would not stay. I totally and violently dislike that kind of movie. Any guy who would show me that kind of a movie does not know me very well at all. I have problems there. Hubby and I went to see a historical movie once. One that I wanted to see very much, but it had some of the real horrors of the Second World War in it, and I could not watch it. He, in fact had a hard time, because of some of the things that happened to our "hero" in that movie. It was based on facts. A guy who wanted me alone on the sofa would have a romantic comedy, or a musical to really be an entertaining and close evening.

I wouldnt like it and I would prefer he picked something more apprpriate for the mood. I doubt I would stay on the couch if he didnt change it because romance dosent mix well with all the violence.I dont like that many scarey movies anyway. If he really cares and knows you, he would not do that!He would watch that some other time.

I wouldn't care if it was a scary movie, so long as I was with my guy. I would snuggle up with him and hide on the scary parts of the movie though!

Hi,dear friend,
I have to admit that ,nearly most of the time whenever there is a movie ,I will fast fall asleep ,
haha,every time when our professor want us to watch some movies ,I will fall asleep ,for the reason that I am the type of person who don't like watching movies except some movies acted by my favorite actor ....
I guess if I am in the condition you have mentioned ,I will watch the movie with my boy friend and try to resist my sleepy since I want to know what kind of boy he is .I remember one of my friend said to me "tell me what you see I will tell you what knid of person you are".maybe this is a chance for me to know him .if that movie really so horrific ,I think I will be brave enough to bear that just because I think I am a brave girl..

not sure of his taste in movies, I just happened to have
brought my own movie just in case. so I would turn to him

I am not one to watch horror movies so I'd have to pass on the horror movie and if he knows me well enough he'd know I wouldn't sit through one...
I'd maybe head on to the cuddling

I dont mind a good scarey movie once in a while but I totally hate blood and guts type movies. I would just turn the TV off and tell him/her(whoever I happen to be with) that they didnt need any tricks to get me to cuddle up close to them. Then maybe ask they put some music on instead. I had plans and I wouldnt let one little setback totally ruin the night.
Hugs, Tianna

Honestly, this has happened to me when my husband and I were first dating. I chalk it up to a guy thing. No I'm not into the blood and gore movies but I did want to spend time with him and he wanted to see the movie. So I curled up next to him - he put his arm around me and....I took a nap. Then when the movie was over I was wide awake and ready for other things. I even do the same think now after 11 years of marriage. There are just some blood and gut movies he can't miss watching everytime they are on tv. And he does put up with some of my movies that he has no interest in. Its a give and take thing.

I don't think I'd have to say anything, the look he got would be enough. I wouldn't stay or see him again. This answer may have been totally different if I'd been younger and unmarried.

Talk about killing the moment! Gee I have to be honest I would be annoyed, waited all this time and this is what I get. I would go into the bathroom start up a warm bath, throw in some bubbles, take off my clothes, walk out naked and invite him/her in. If that doesn't work and s/he would still rather watch that tacky movie then I would get dressed and leave. PS - as I pass the coffee table on my way out, I accidentally on purpose spill the freakin popcorn!

Since I'm not particularly fond of horror movies, I don't think staying and snuggling up would be an option. Unless he opted out of the movie for other things, but he would only get that option once. If he opted for the movie instead of me, I'd be outta there, see ya!

Well, i would be disappointed. It is not what i have expected and it is a just so out of proportion with all the romantic ambiance then a horror movie? I will tell him frankly that i do not want to snuggle up with him on the sofa and watch a scary movie.I would rather, watch an old movie if he doesn't want to watch a romantic movie.Or if he still insists on those movies then i would just go on home.
