The off topic thread

No I said others thought you were an idiot. I'm bemused with your constant focus on me to ignore all the other critics.

Haha I love that. You didnt specifically call me an idiot. You just decided to speak for many others.

Classic.

Is Netflix and chill out for a first date? Maybe that's where I'm going wrong.

Perhaps try and avoid screaming out "Gerrrrrarrrd" when you're doing the deed mate.

Not bad bro but it pales in comparison to what I believe to possibly be one the best videos in internet history.

The editing is terrific. Enjoy.

Taking a girl to the cinema as a first date is surely a thing for kids - like a fumble in the back row kind of thing.

Like someone said, you can't get to know someone in a cinema - so it's a waste of time for a new or first date for adults - at least mature ones. Dinner and then a drink afterwards is always the safest bet for a first date

Going to the movies and nothing else is definitely a kid thing. Movie and dinner should be fine.

What was wrong with more beer than you can drink, a fumble, a shag and a spew?

You new age, modern types.

There's a budding romcom writer in there somewhere, I knew it all along.

And actually going out to the pub to pull a bird. These days everyone's just logging on to tinder and it's done for them! !

Thankfully I got on Tinder before girls cottoned on to the fact it was just guys looking for a lay.

If you get time mate, check out Hilary's Boat Harbour or Hilary's Marina. Good day out.

Rottnest today - cycling and snorkeling. Going to be amazing, I know it already.

No it isn't? Movies is fine. Movie and dinner is perfect.

For a first date I entirely disagree.

If I am going on a date, I want to talk to them as much as I can, not sit in a theatre where talking is frowned upon. I don't believe Jatz mentioned dinner either (could be wrong).

If you're already dating sure it's great, but as a first date when you could have so much to talk about and see if you have chemistry etc? No thanks.

I was already accounted for by the time Tinder was released. Oh the fun that could have been had.

Hm, I find a movie a great ice breaker. If you're a bit nervous or shy or whatever, after you get out of the movie you can talk about the movie "Oh my god that movie was so great! I loved the part where..." "Wow that was such a crap movie, can you believe they did..." etc. It's a good conversation starter and you can go from there. Alternatively if you already get along, it can be a fun start/end to the night before or after dinner.

That being said I just did a straight dinner date with my current GF, can't remember the last time I did a movie as a first date but probably not since first or second year uni.

In Jatz's defence he did say other stuff was planned. I entirely agree that a movie date where you do nothing else but rock up to see the movie then leave is a bad idea.

If we're not careful we'll be expected to communicate on dates. And we all know that once that bridge is crossed theres no way back.

Dinner and a drink or even just going for a drink is good. Bars have good atmosphere and alcohol loosens both parties up and makes things easier to start with.

Get your points though. But yeah would never do movie on a first date. Unless I was 15 aiming for a blowy in the back row.

I thought Cruyff preferred 1D concerts for first dates....

Ah those were the days. I went somewhere a bit more discreet though.

Our local movie theatres fixed the arm rests so they couldn't go up because they were sick of cleaning...well, you know.

Thankfully, this bird likes the movie idea. We're going out for dinner afterwards so don't see the big deal really.

Oh and Tinder is the best haha. Actually how I met this one. Lot's of fun to be had on there if you're single though!

Anyone watched The Night Manager? Absolutely loving it!

Yep! And Maltesers etc etc.

Been on a couple of first and second dates to the movies and not something I would recommend unless you know the person well, too much awkward tension.

I always find drinks are the best, alcohol is the perfect social lubricant to get to know someone easy.

 

[Cooldude]

Movies are better when you're already officially going out. Dinner's better, opportunity to chat. Or go do something dead fun, it helps loosen them up

Or if you're Cosby, just a drink

Got it on my backlog!
