To all the singles out there?

How many of you men and women avoid movies for a first date and regret it when you give in?

I have learned that first dates and movies go hand in hand with groping and as much pda as you will allow and they still push for more. Regardless of age class race or personality.
Am I the only one who finds this to be a huge turn off? Women, how do you handle the situation gracefully and firmly? How many times have you just given up and walked out? Men, do you feel pressured to behave this way, is there more then just horniness involved in your thought process?

I ask this because I went on an impromptu impulse date with this mid 30 professional who managed to pull off 4 hours of engaging thoughtful and enjoyable conversation, was respectful and to a person who is categorically hunting for red flags literally had none, other then he wasn’t knee quivering sexy. So after hesitation I agreed. But at the movie theater I would have classified him as among the ranks of a teenager. He talked me into staying the rest of the movie but I told him I don’t want to see him until the weekend.
He called me yesterday to say if I changed my mind he was free all week. I am admittedly a commitmentphobe. But this guy seems way to needy for me and I still am put off by his behavoir, but otherwise I was really impressed. Is there some sort of movie clause that exempts his actions?
