A bit freaked out after reading the first date thread. Yeah, I don't think I want to sit in the dark with a stranger, but ...what do I do? AND what do I say? I am 41 and on a good day I can be a 5 1/2!
He already saw your pictures. Relax, at least he is attracted to you.
Don't worry about it, just enjoy yourself and the movie. Good luck. ((((( )))))
You've not even MET him??? Are you nuts??? I would never EVER recommend that anyone do this.
WHY would you do this?
Thinking this is a troll post.
Not trolling, BUT this is a small community. I think I worked with his daughter at the nursing home while doing clinicals. If I get too uncomfortable, I will just say I am sick and leave.
Why is this stupid? She didn't invite him over for dinner and how dangerous are most public cinemas?
Are you kidding? She hasn't even MET him. He could be a complete wack job. Meet for 30 minutes at an outdoor cafe...somewhere that you are in the public eye at all times, including going to your car. How does anyone not know this?
And you won't learn anything about anyone in a movie theater....why people do this on first dates is beyond me.

So you would rather LIE to him than ask if you can just go to a diner and chat over supper or coffee or a milkshake or something like that..........

How is it a safety problem? what can a guy possibly do at a movie theater that he can't do at a cafe?
they're gonna sit somehwere surrounded by between 50-250 people within arms length. he wont even be able to say anything without having half the other audience bothered....
I agree movies make for poor first dates, but it isn't a crazy idea by any means...

What on earth are you associating with movies? Nothing bad happens on them. It may not be a good way to get to know someone but I don't see what is unsafe about it.
If you insist on calling me crazy, please explain the danger to me.
It's not as bad as some posters are making this event out to be.
I've done this as first dates several times in the past, and no one got hurt, and we had a good time.
Hell, every one of those dates led to 2nd dates at least.
Don't freak out unless the guy is creepy. if he's creepy then, like you would do any other place, you say you're sick or you have a problem and you leave.
Jeesh, people on here need to relax. Meh, I'd hint at grabbing coffee before hand unless either of you have been building up a certain movie.
The guy is probably just trying to find something that doesn't have much pressure... He's probably had women complain there's too much pressure in a face to face first date (I've heard and read profiles of women complaining about the PRESSURE of face to face first dates).

So it's not just me then? I liked the movies as a first date. By the end of the movie, my tongue had loosened up a bit and it was easier to talk over ice cream. Just don't go for the late night showing. I've fallen asleep during the late night showing before. I can't sit quietly for a long period of time after 11pm and stay awake.
