Laugh a lot = ?
Laugh a little = ?
Not dare to watch horror movie = ?
Like action movie = ?
Dislike romance movie = ?
Cry a lot= ?

See you can answer correctly or not...

The pinch of salt was just too salty, I couldn't tahan anymore. My Genie nearly died from dehydration due to the high sodium content. I had to Rub My Genie for the past hour just to make it wet enough for him to stay hydrated.

But putting that aside.

I do believe that everyone have different opinions on the topic as there is no 100% right or wrong answer.

Some boys & girls like movies, and some other don't; what TS is suggesting is just a basic guidance on where you should be bringing your partner to in dates, rather than just going for movies (which is one of the most common dates people usually bring their partner to).

While I would agree for the most part, in the end it would depends on your partner. If he/she like the specific movie, then going to the movies is a good idea since:

1 - Your partner already wanted to watch the movie in the first place, indicating interest. So, when you invite him/her that time, it would be easier for him/her to accept the invitation for the date.
2 - If your partner likes the movie, he/she would have a lot to say after the movie, as you both can discuss the things that had happened in the movie.

While I agree that if your date is still a "friend" and not upgraded into a bf/gf yet, it would be awkward if you suddenly hold his/her hand. It would be a bold move, I would say a 50/50 move. It would either score you an instant bf/gf or an instant weirdo/pervert/awkward event.

In the end, the most important thing is to learn what your partner likes, and bring his/her to the place. Guarantee a good time!

Lets put an example to it, shall we?

===============

Let's just say you're dating a land whale and you suggested her to go for hiking together - that's your dating venue. She will have 3 outcome:

1 - She will go hiking with you, just to see your 6-pax, your muscles, your awesomely handsome face, she just wants to spend time with you, no matter where you go.
2 - She will feel that its tiring, but because you want to go, she follow only.
3 - She will feel that its tiring and a waste of time, cancel the date.

So, knowing that you're dating with a land whale it would be safer if you just bring her to EATTTT instead; FOOD will never be a wrong option, especially to girls. Women LOOOVVEESS FOOODDD, be it skinny, skeleton, normal, plump, chubby or land whale, it won't go wrong.

But of course, I am just joking and using extreme condition to give the example. But what I'm trying to say is - just get to know your date first, then bring her to places that you can guarantee she will be having a great time.

Plus point if you could bring her to places that can do activity together; As TS has mentioned - Those places that she had suggested are great.

Go and get a room, you are the reason why the chairs are sticky! Disgusting fellow. 

that's not what you think, before u get a room.
u have to trigger it.
hold hand, leaning each other, etc develop the feelings
if u make it only u go for a room.

Jokes on you because TS is a female and she has a bf (stated in previous post).  She's speaking on the receiving end and there are other forummers that agree with her views.

Everyone has their own view. You can bring girls to cinema while others can bring elsewhere.  But calling others dumb is a personal attack and you should be ashamed of as an adult.

Just the other day, I had a conversation with some friends and the topic drifted to: what were/would be their itinerary for the first date? The unanimous answer was "Movie + Date".

So we could all consider the tried and tested formula of Movie+Dinner as the SAFEST way to conduct a first date and it probably is. Kind of like a FD account. But unlike FD, romance is not protected by PIDM! No one is gonna save your ass if your date is not impressed! huhuhu

For the introverts among us, a movie is very a useful tool as an icebreaker, but it has one HUGE disadvantage. It takes up 2-3 hours of valuable time that could be better spent finding out more about your partner! Conversations (rather than action sequences and awesome soundtracks) are MUCH better at creating a bond. Say, if your outing was 4 hours long, 50% of it could have been spent in the dark in the cinema, or those 2 hours could be spent holding your date's hand, looking up into the starry sky and pouring out your heart. Or your dinner, if you ate too much.

There are also people who date constantly, and the same thing (Movie+Dinner) over and over again can become more like a chore or a routine. Then there are also others (like me!) who are not that all into movies. Some people want a change, some excitement, and crave a sense of adventure and creativity from our (potential) partner(s).

I personally find just Movie+Dinner kind-of-maybe-a-little-bit of a cliche, therefore, I came up with a bunch of alternatives that I hope will help the guys and gals here:

1. Events like countdown, food fair because it doesn't happen all year long. Can make memorable memories. Go facebook or ask around to know whether got events lately.
2. Places that has nice view to take photographs like park, selfie museum, cafes with nice deco. During Christmas, CNY, Raya, Deepavali time lagi best because a lot of mall deco. Take photos of each other. Can learn photography skills like angles from your date maybe. If your date very shy, just say: I will make you look good, no worries
3. Window shopping. Even supermarket also can for some people. If your date spot something nice and within your budget, can offer to buy for your date. Can learn what he/she like and dislike.
4. Learn cooking. Can learn new recipe and have fun.
5. Ice skating. Can hold hand hold waist without being label hamsap.
6. Hiking. Can hold hand to pull the girl at steep. Can see the girl without makeup.
7. Go Arcade play multiple player games like taiko drum or racing. Be sure to give your date to win so everyone happy.
8. Sightseeing outside of the city, like watching planes takeoff and land in KLIA, or a quiet walk in Putrajaya.

These are few I could think of! It would be great to hear what other venues everyone else has done/plan to do!

You missed my point.  What I'm trying to say is watching movie doesn't create interesting memories,  nor there is any interaction during the movie. Any just now you mentioned the stuff related to the movie,  actors,  visual effect... Those topics not related to you or your date at all.

there are some interesting interaction happened on my first movie date.   

my first date i also bring her to watch movie, we still remember the movie until now, it was 新情女幽魂 (2011)

we sneak in a bag of pop fried chicken, while she was eating she want whether i want it or not, ofcoz i say yes cause it looks delicious. then i thought to take one myself, who know without warning she put 1 in front of my mouth. so i just eat only lo.

after that, i jokingly ask, do u feed every guy on ur first date? she said i m the first guy who have this privilege. haha i trust her, coz i m first and her is my first.   

Thanks for sharing your story.  You are the first one that convinced me about the positives of movie dates.

I was merely responded to your reply on him haha. Didn't expect you to reply wih such a long post.

That's very kind of you for willingly sharing with all of us :respet:

But then, what if it is a landwhale that kept saying she is fat and on diet? She will be unhappy if bring to eat good foods but if bring to exercise she also can't take it. Then in this moment, what to do?
