at the movies
Seeing a movie is an essential part of dating. Listen nerds, you need to get it right. These are the things you need to pay attention to:
- Choosing the right film: women are emotional, so for goodness’ sake don’t bring her to a war movie, stupid teenage horror flicks or any movie with blood and gore (such as Alien vs Predator), or Hollywood action movies. Women simply don’t feel for wars, monsters from outer space or kung-fu actions. If you think it’s okay to bring a girl to these movies, you have a problem. It’s actually YOU who want to see the movie, right? So it’s just all about YOU. Did you consider whether she will enjoy it? With women, it’s better to choose something warm and fuzzy, touching and humorous. If she’s the sentimental type, choose a movie that makes her cry, if she’s outgoing, choose humor. Is it that difficult? How come so many guys still get it wrong?
- Buying the ticket: Plea…se, buy your tickets in advance. Guys are lazy, I know. Are you gonna make her stand in line with you? She’s in her high heels, and it’s cold(or hot) outside. And she has to stand in line to get tickets. Worse still, if it’s sold out then your movie plan is gone. Or perhaps there’re only seats left in the front row and the back corner. It just looks bad on you. In the United States, your ticket allows you to walk in and sit wherever. So please arrive early and make sure you get good seats. In Asia, most theaters have assigned seats so it’s not a big problem.
- Inside the theater: Movie theaters are cold. Show that you care by offering her your coat. If she cries during the movie, give her some tissue paper. (proper tissue paper please, not those leftover napkins from the corner Chinese restaurant that was left in your pocket since 2 months ago). And please turn off your cell phone. This isn’t a problem in the Western world but seem to be in Asia. Once in China, some guy next to me answered his phone during a movie. Come on, it’s basic social etiquette. What’s wrong with you people?
