When dating, u are trying to build a connection to the person you are dating. This requires communication. Communication is verbal and non-verbal (body language, touch). Cant do all these while watching a movie in a cinema.

And if u touch2 in the cinema all the sudden, then u risk being a pervert.

Cinema dates should wait until physically comfortable. Thats my policy.

But dont go food court ya..at least for the first few dates.
