Is it an old fashion to see a film on a date?

hehe i think its not old fashion to do so. but it really depends on the couple if they prefer to spend more time talking etc.. i guess its just part of passing time and being together when you go watch movies...

I think that seeing a film is a good date. I think that their can be a balance. After seeing a film a couple can go out to dinner and talk and get to know each other. And this way they will definitely have something to talk about if things get awkard about what else to talk about. They can discuss what they liked about the movie. Or after the movie they could go for a walk, something that contributes to quality time together.

It's certainly a "traditional" idea, and I guess it is a little old-fashioned. However, if that's what they want to do, then that's what they want to do. Personally, I'd prefer to go to a restaurant, go bowling, go to a festival, where I can communicate with my Date. My husband and I had a rather odd relationship in that we did most of our dating over the internet, because that's how we met, and because of the distance between us, when we finally got together, we lived together literally from the moment we got together. That is to say, I'd come to AZ sometimes, he'd come to Ontario sometimes, and we'd be apart sometimes if our work schedules did not allow us to be together. We were also physically intimate from the start, but it's not like we were strangers. Only being on line forced us to learn how to communicate, and we got very good at it!! ANYWAY when we went out to have fun, we'd go to activities that we could do while communicating. We mostly ate out in restaurants, but we'd also go swimming, etc. We still do things that we can DO together, not just sit and watch a movie. We are going to a number of festivals this summer, a number of cultural events, and even an appointment with my accountant in the next city is going to turn into a date, because we are going to eat at our favourite restaurant. Can't wait!! I think that going to movies became popular because it was a dark and quiet environment where people could "fool around" a bit, without a lot of people seeing them. Now that physically intimacy is so much more widely accepted, people don't have to fool around in the dark anymore.

If you only watch a film you don't really get the chance to talk and get to know eachother better, but if you combine it with other things I think it is fine to watch a film on a date. Before I met my husband I went on a date with another man. At first we had dinner together and afterwards we went to the movies. We both enjoyed the film and after the film we went to a cafe where we continued our conversation. I think that it was a nice date, we enjoyed the film together and we also got the chance to talk and get to know eachother.

It may be a bit "old-fashioned" but quite acceptable. Some of the most romantic dates could be considered "old-fashioned". I wouldn't be impressed, however, if the whole date consisted of just the movie. I would expect at least to go for a coffee or drink if not dinner afterwards. What do couples do on first dates nowadays?

I think watching movies in theaters is cool. It is also a dark place for flirting and all that stuffs. It is also better to date there instead of just anywhere because it is a bit safer to be around a lot of people just in case your date was a rapist or something. Just watching a movie you will know your date's personality. In her case, i think she really enjoyed both the movie and her date.

Personally I think 2 people going out on a Date first maybe to dinner somewhere and then to a Movie is a great idea, and not old fashioned at all. Personally this is a Great way for 2 people to get to know each other and communicate and be able to find each others likes and dislikes. Too many times everyone is always thinking a Date should be something else, but taking it slow is always the Best for sure.

For me, I think it's okey to have a date at the cinema. Men needs to find ways to get the girl so maybe he has some plans on the sequence of events to happen on that date. Dinner, movie then stroll is the common path. Even if it's an old fashion way, it is still effective. :)

Oh, I'd love to go to the movies, but I'm married now and we never go anywhere. What's wrong with going to the movies? It gives you something to talk about afterwards. If one of you loves the movie and the other one hates it, it gives you an idea of what the future together might be like. Frankly, she's happy to have a date and I know where she's coming from. These days, I'd happily go to the opening of a new sewage treatment plant if it would get me out for a day. Let her be happy. let her have her dates and, who knows, maybe they both really like movies. Worse things to have in common, aren't there?

Yes, I do hear you. I think it is quite hard to know and talk each other inside the movie house. It will be hard to focus on the movie story while trying to get each others stories. That is why, going to the movies is a bad first date move. But still, going to the movies is one of the most convenient dates that can be done. There are a lot of movies and movie houses around plus they are located in malls that can be a suitable move around place. I can say that they may go for the movies, but it shouldn't stop at that. After or before the movie, they should eat or walk around or do some activities to talk around each other. I think that is a good purpose if done on movie dates.

It depends. If it's a first date then a movie date is totally not good. Yes, you won't be able to talk because you have to focus on the film instead of talking and getting to know each other. But if it's like 3rd or 4th date, then it's okay because movie dates are actually sweet when you're already comfortable with each other so you can cuddle or hold hands while watching the movie.

There is nothing old fashioned about going to a movie on a date. Depending on the time of the movie you can always go for coffee or a meal before or after the film to have some time to talk and get to know one another. If the film is early enough it might be good to go out after and use the film as a way to start the conversation and see where things go from there.
