What movie or movies should you never, ever take a girl to if you want a second date?

Melancholia. Though, this isn’t so much particular to “girls” and “dates”, so much as any humans, ever.

Human Centipede. Not on any date, for that matter.

Depends what she’s into. I wouldn’t take her to The Avengers, though. No one should have to go through that mess.

Porn. Deep down no female really ever wants their guy to like porn. lol

Glass House. (Is that what it’s called? With LeeLee Sobieski?)

@Coloma Deep down, women wish they would stop being universalized, and that people would stop thinking that they know what each woman wants “deep down”, and instead take women’s statements at face value.

Coloma's avatar

@Aethelflaed okay…I wasn’t going that deep, however, a lot of peoples statements are not face value, they are what they think other people want to hear, but….point taken.

Any movies that are about or have scenes involving women being raped and/or stalked and/or tortured and killed by serial killers are a bad choice for a first date, I think. It’s hard to pick just one. And any of the Saw movies. I would advise against those for a first date too.

IMO the worst possible movie to take a girl on a first date is…. Any Movie!

Why? I am not saying you wouldn’t get a 2nd date if you went to a movie on the first (especially if you are inexperienced daters) but isn’t the purpose of the date to get to know each other? You can’t do that if you are sitting in a theater for 1.5 to 2 hours.

Go have a nice dinner and make it interesting by bringing paper and pen to play hang man where the answers are random facts about yourselves. I’d be willing to bet the cost of that date that unless shes dysfunctional she will say yes when you say “I had a great time getting to know you would you go out with me again”

@mrlaconic Hopefully a date with you would last longer the the 1.5 to 2 hours it would take to see a movie. A movie would be part of the date, not the whole thing. Ii is something to do that people can relax and enjoy. A first date with you sounds like it would be to intense for me. Not everyone would be comfortable with several hours of pure face to face contact, playing “getting to know you” games.

It’s a first date. Many people need to ease into these things, myself included. It’s nice to have something to do, to have a purpose on a date. Going to a movie and the talk that comes before and after, is better than just going to dinner on a first date and maybe having 2 hours of awkward silence interspersed with attempts at conversation, because it turned out that maybe the two of you don’t have that much in common or that much to talk about after all.

Maybe dinner and a movie? The best of both worlds?

A Serbian Movie.

You’ve been warned.

ucme's avatar

Anything horror related, primary reason being that she’s bound to shriek on several occasions, this will immediately make me realise she’s a fucking idiot & I shall leave the cinema at once, alone preferably.

augustlan's avatar

@Coloma Hey, I like porn! I do agree that it shouldn’t be first date material, however.

Going to a movie first gives you something to talk about at dinner afterward. I wouldn’t pick anything too intense, in any genre, unless there’s a particular movie she’s just dying to see. If that movie happens to be Human Centipede, well… take her!

cazzie's avatar

A guy took me to see Full Metal Jacket on our first date. There was no second date. There was no ‘after dinner’ conversation. Just shock, horror and a very sick feeling in my stomach.

Hey, @Blackberry, I really liked ‘Black Cat, White Cat’. What do you have against Serbian movies? LOL.

elbanditoroso's avatar

I can think of several, depending on what sort of person she is:

1) blazing Saddles

2) Mr. and mrs. Smith

3) The War of the Roses

4) Debbie Does Dallas

@Fly What if you took them to see it and they ask you if you would take them to the sequel. whoa.

Argonon's avatar

I suppose it would depend on the type of girl.
I for one would love a good horror movie or maybe sci-fi, but none of that gushy romance stuff.

I would have to agree with @Fly that’s just plain gross…

Blackberry's avatar

@cazzie I haven’t seen that movie, but I’ll watch it as mind bleach for the other Serbian movie.

@Cruiser Why not Brokeback Mountain?

Haleth's avatar

@mrlaconic @lillycoyote Actually, both of those first dates sound kind of intense to me! What about a quick coffee or a drink? That kind of date can be as short or as long as you want, so if you realize that you misjudged the person or you don’t get along, you’re not stuck spending an entire dinner with them. And it’s cheaper. Dating can be expensive.

Date #1, to me, should be a quick and casual “getting to know you” kind of thing. Dinner is once you know you want to spend more time together. Same with movies- waiting a few dates to go to a movie means you’ll have time to talk about your taste in movies. Problem solved!

mrlaconic's avatar

@lillycoyote I understand your point and agree that people need to ease into getting to know each other. I just happen to think that getting to know you over hang man and tic tac toe at romano’s macaroni grill (you can color on the tables!) is much better than sitting in silence for 1.5 to 2 hours.

And I agree with @Haleth probably a quick drink would be even better :)

The Care Bears Movie
especially if you are really into it

Berserker's avatar

Prom Night might not be a good idea…

Fly's avatar

@Symbeline Well that’s just a terrible movie to begin with! I made the mistake of seeing that I would not subject anyone to that again…

Berserker's avatar

@Fly Yeah. I usually love horror, even if it’s real bad. But this was so damn boring…so even if the girl liked horror movies, she wouldn’t appreciate that. XD

Kardamom's avatar

Anything with Will Ferrell or the 3 Stooges.

Or any movie that makes you laugh like a braying donkey. I once saw a movie with a fellow that I really liked (don’t even remember the movie) but I found out that he laughed at really stupid stuff and his hearty laugh was very loud and embarrassing. I felt very self-conscious and could feel the stares of other movie watchers upon us : (
