Choosing a movie for a first date is in my opinion not a great idea as you basically spend ninety minutes or more both staring at a screen feeling awkward at not talking. Typically one will be into the movie more than the other and it will be more awkward for one than the other. Definitely not recommended as a first date, but waiting for a movie is a great way to get a date from someone in your group of friends.
Have as many friends as possible and do fun things together. A movie can be a great way. Have your friends especially the female friends bring a friend or two. They often will anyway if you are meeting up at the theatre or a café or bar nearby first. Women do not like turning up on their own so bringing a friend to the movies is an easy solution.
Girls like it when they get asked out in front of their friends. She may well appear uneasy and maybe even blush but she will enjoy the experience. Girls love to be or appear popular in front of others. They will also not want to be so rude or abrupt to you in front of others and will let you down nicely if they are not interested. Once again there are exceptions and you will need to be wary of this but the risk is small. Some girls will try to impress their friends my mocking you and embarrassing you in front of their friends to appear more popular and that ‘I can have anyone I want” and don’t need you . You can get a feel for this type of girl before you ask , but if you are attracted to this type of girl then give it a go anyway. You have nothing to lose other than your dignity!, but seriously what is the worst? So she rejects you and makes you look like a dick in front of your friends as well. It will soon be forgotten, and so what if your friends remind you of it for years to come and joke about it. Secretly they admire you for having the guts to do it and having the guts to ask a girl out that they themselves were too afraid to ask out. Just get your head around it. A chance of a little humiliation, and a small chance at that, compared to maybe a lifetime of bliss with the girl of your dreams. You just have to go for it. You have everything to gain and very little to lose. Like anything it gets easier with practice. As has been suggested before you can build your confidence up by not asking the hottest one. A girl who is not used to be asked out, will be flattered to be asked out in front of her friends. The hot one will be jealous that it was not her, and may well make a play for you as she will have something to prove.
So just do it. Ask her out
Good point. Yopu can’t get to know a girl during a first movie together, but good for those of us too shy to talk much. Suggestion tho is don’t chose a war movie, horror maybe so she can grab your arm 🙂
