for me, i'll watch any movie on my first date. i would want to watch a movie we both want to see. besides, being romantic on the first date doesn't depend on the movie right? it'll be more romantic if me and my date would agree what movie to watch. and one more thing, being with my date will be romantic in itself. just by spending time with my date will be romantic enough for me.

how stupid that guy is! I don't think he understands what romantic really means! Well,to me,I don't care whatever kind of films I'm gonna watch.I think the atmosphere is a lot more important.Do you think so?

Hello bloodcakelover! Well, it still depends. I mean of course we won't go for a date if we don't like the guy, right? Maybe an action movies would be better for us..hehehe..Kidding aside, maybe a romantic comedy would be better during our first date. In that way, we would laugh together and we would be able to know whether we are compatible or not.

That guy's nuts! The "rule" is that if a girl suggests a scary movie for a date movie it means she wants to get close. So when the scary stuff happens she can bury her face in his big manly shoulder ....or something equally silly. I don't abide by that rule - I pick scary movies because I like scary movies...nay, love scary movies and am not sure that I would want to go on a second date with someone who isn't going to want to watch them with me. hehe

That guy must be out of his head...dumping your friend just for that reason. For a first date,I'd probably go for comedy..a good laugh would be nice.my second choice would be suspense/thriller or a feel-good movie..happy lottin!

honestly it depends on what type of mood im in and who im going with. i would most likely go with either comedy, romantic comedy or horror. also, it depends on what new movies are out and what looks the best. i like all types of movies.

I still havent gone on my first date and if i go i would really prefer the romantic movie but its okay with me if my girlfriend prefers to watch a horror movie..i dont think about the type of the movie..what i need is the love that has to blossom between us and thats the thing that i expect from the date and not the type of the movie which doesnt have any relations with the date...i really hope that soon i will be going on my first date and i will tell you what sort of movie i went with my girl friend... happy Mylotting

I would go to see whatever movie my date and I agreed on. I think there are many good movies out there and you should go to see whatever it is that you really like. I would not worry about what type of movie that is, you two agreeing is what is really important. It is super important the type of movie that you agree on it.

you would think a man would rather watch the horror movie so she will hold onto him. most men dont like sappy "chick flick" love movies. i think any is good. i love all types movies.

It's totally nonsense. Well I wouldn't really prefer a horror movie on the first date - just because I just can't stand horror movies. I'm a total coward when it comes to horror movies. I'd prefer action though :D Thanks for the response on my discussion!

you know what... your friend has won and probably she dont even realize, hope she isnt feeling crush over this guy because he is not... worth it. probaly this is one of the best things that could ever happen to her, luckily their relationship was not deep because who knows what would happen if ahe was really in love with him...this guy sounds like a heart breaker. what kind of man dump a girl because of the type of movie she chooses on their first date. thats utmost rubbish. i hope she finds a real man. honestly i dont really like horror movies, but i love...to watch it with my man, because i get scared even when i am not scared O.K...i am not saying that we have to watch horror movies to get close, but watching them together can bring you closer. we just cuddle.

i have not dated yet...if i get a chance of dating, i will go for a comedy movie or a romantic movie....in comedy movies u can laugh with ur pair until the film gets over...u will think abt the comedies even after the film gets over...but according to me, its not advisable to see a horror movie during ur first date...after getting some 3 or 4 dates with the same pair u can go for a horror movie...but sure for a first date i suggest romantic movie or a comedy movie..please dont mark negative response...thanx...happy mylotting

I totally disagree. i mean, take a movie like the saw series..there is so much discussion to be had afterwards about the plot, the effects, the horrible contraptions. and lets not foget that during a scary scene your gonna find your arm getting hugged real tight!

thnx..=)...yeahh..it is good idea to watch comedy..but im not going to watch romantic it makes me sleep lols !!

The SAW series is good, but not all horror movies evoke that kind of response. I usually feel scared from the time it goes off til I fall asleep and don't even want to think about the movie again, lol. SAW was definitely not that type, and is doable for early dating, but still not the first.

I think that guy needs his head checked. Tell your friend that if she asked me to watch a horror on our first first date, i'd be well happy. it shows that she's got a great taste in movies for a start (unless she likes cabin fever...) and isn't sacred to be herself. It sounds to me like this guy is a freaking joke!

I don't lik horror films . But I hate today's romantic comedies more. I prefer a good action film. but on a first date I rather just sit and talk so we can see if we have anything in common.That way I can ask what type of film he likes and then on the second date we can go to the movies.

A bad movie choice can put you off your date. This I know from experience. The safest choice would be a good comedy that, hopeflly, you can both laugh at and enjoy.

It depends on what the girl likes. Sometimes, horrors are good. The whole "ooh, i'm scared, hold me" effect comes in handy. Some girls are just pure suckers for Notebook-type movies.
