If it were me, I would just drop the whole movie idea altogether. IMO, you need to go somewhere you can talk to her, and the movies are not a place for that. The coffee shop or ice cream parlor (or even a walk in the park) is an opportunity get her away from work and to a low pressure place where you two can talk freely.

Work is pretty stressful at times, and I'm not usually at my best even when she's around. But, she's really open to going to movies and I'm pretty much familiar with her already. But yeah, I understand what you are saying. I'm going to call her later on and go from there.

Do you still have any drive thru movie places around you? Those are so much fun if you have one. A twist for movie lovers. You can talk all you want in the car.

This is true but a Coffee Shop or Ice Cream Parlor is a straight road to the friend zone.

You know her so take her somewhere where you two can have a great time and grow together.

I'm just really bummed over this whole thing. I feel so down for what I did earlier. Would it sound desperate if I just called and talked to her though?

It's not the venue, it's whether or not you use that venue to communicate what you want to get across.

You don't want to go spending a huge amount of money when you aren't sure how she feels about you. Dinners at fancy restaurants at this stage will put way too much pressure on both of you. And the movies hardly give you a chance to talk.

I have used the ice cream parlor numerous times (as you can tell by my profile pic and lemme tell ya ,nothing is sexier than watching a woman eat an ice cream cone

You're thinking about it too much, relax. You really need to go out and meet more Women so that you're not too concern about one.

No one is advocating him taking a female out to a fancy restaurant though. Maybe Coffee Shops and Ice Cream Parlors work for you which is cool but I like to stray on the more fun things like Go Karts, Dancing, and etc...too each his own I guess. BTW I just checked your profile and didn't see a pic but I did find out that you were a fellow "brotha" or AA as you put it so I'm just going to take your word.

Lol I think we both agree that he needs to get it in gear asap. All those suggestions are good ones

people around here get offended if I use the term "brotha" like I'm leaving them out of some club. AA makes me sound like I'm in a 12 step program

I don't blame them I'd be upset too if I wasn't a "brotha".
