Movie on a second date

What do you guys think about going to a movie as a second date? I really dislike the idea because I think at the beginning, for at least the first three dates, you should be getting to know the person. Sitting in a dark room for two hours doesn't really give you any insight into the person at all, aside from where in the theater they like to sit, whether or not they eat popcorn, how often they go to the bathroom, etc. Things which are totally insignificant to me (because I'm not much of a moviegoer).

Just asking because one of my OLD guys just asked me out to a movie and I said I would rather see him and spend time talking to him ... He countered with I'd like to get to you know you too but I thought it would be fun to see a film and that it might spur conversation, etc. etc. I guess I'll go along, but I'm not thrilled with the idea. What do you guys think? Am I just being difficult?

Pardon me for jumping in...I use it (and have seen it used) when responding to a post or question that was addressed to someone else.

Good question, lg. Because I'm a wimp. But maybe I should start working on that ...

While you may think that you are a wimp, you already see the signs that this is not going to be a good date. It makes far more sense to bow out now than to go out with this guy, have a blah blah evening...and say to yourself afterwards...

"Gee, I wish that I had just stayed home!"

So, put some spine in your backbone and don't go!

Let us know what you decide.

PS

Your name is iamdelightful, why go out with someone who is LESS than DELIGHTFUL?
