Want to take your crush on a first date? Of the many dating ideas available in plain sight, watching a movie is an option that is worth trying. At least the two of you will have material to discuss before and after watching, right? To make your first date a success, make sure you plan in detail, arrive on time on the D-day, and pay close attention to your date's body language throughout the date. If he seems okay with making simple physical contact with you, try holding his hand or putting an arm around his shoulder. At the end of the date, offer to walk him home and ask if you can kiss him goodbye.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Preparing Yourself
Step 1. Ask your crush on a date
Make your date request honest, straightforward, and clear; Trust me, it will be much more appreciated. For example, you could ask her out in a text message that says, "Would you like to go to the movies together sometime?"
Make a clear and detailed plan. Specify a specific day, time, and meeting location. For example, the two of you could agree to meet at 6pm in the lobby of cinema A on Friday
Step 2. Choose the right clothes
Usually, people go to the movies wearing casual clothes; Even so, that doesn't mean you can wear shorts, barong shirts, and flip-flops. At the very least, choose clothes that are neat but still casual; for example, pair jeans with a casual shirt instead of a t-shirt.
Don't focus too much on pleasing your date. If you force yourself to wear clothes that aren't comfortable, you're more likely to lose self-confidence throughout the date
Step 3. Prepare enough cash
The issue of who should pay on a date can be a complex one. Some couples prefer to pay for their dating needs separately, but some don't. Therefore, make sure you also bring cash in case your date wants to split the cost of the date equally.
Bring various nominal. If you only bring a hundred thousand, of course that condition will make it difficult for both of you to pay for the date separately. Therefore, make sure you also bring a smaller nominal
Step 4. Invite him to choose a movie to watch
Even if you don't mind conforming to your date's wishes, she's likely to feel uncomfortable if you seem to follow her lead and end up watching a movie you don't like. Think of a movie you both want to see; ask what kind of films he likes and try to choose a film that can accommodate both of your interests.
If you both share a sense of humor, try taking her to a comedy movie
Part 2 of 3: Enjoying Date Night
Step 1. Invite him to do an activity before watching
The situation can be awkward if the two of you decide to go separately and meet in person at the movies. Therefore, try taking him somewhere first (for example, to a coffee shop near the cinema); at least, the two of you can use this moment to chat and relax before watching a movie in silence.
Find a place not too far from the cinema to prevent the risk of being late for a movie
Step 2. Come to the movies on time
Some people really don't like being late to the movies. To make sure your date is in a good mood, make an effort to arrive on time; make sure you both spend enough time buying tickets and snacks, and choosing the ideal seat.
- It's best to arrive at the cinema 15-20 minutes before the film starts.
- To avoid long queues, try buying tickets on the cinema's online site. Some people prefer to arrive early to the cinema so as not to miss the trailer for other generally interesting films.
Step 3. Offer to pay for the ticket
If you're the one asking her out, it's only natural that you offer to pay for the ticket. However, some people are reluctant to be treated by someone who is not yet an official partner; therefore, do not force your wishes if he has already refused.
For example, try saying, “I'll pay for your ticket, okay? Eh, that too if you want, you know."
Step 4. Don't forget to buy snacks
Popcorn is a great snack option, especially since the two of you can share a large container of popcorn and initiate physical contact by touching your finger to his. Avoid foods that have the potential to make your breath smell bad; instead, try eating peppermint chocolate candy throughout the film.
If you want to kiss her during the movie, don't forget to bring a toothpick! Small grains of corn are prone to slipping between your teeth, making the kissing experience less pleasant. Before kissing, go to the bathroom to clean your teeth with a toothpick or dental floss
Step 5. Try holding her hand
Pay attention to your date's body language; if he doesn't hesitate to lean in towards you and put his hand on your arm, he likely won't mind if you hold his hand during the film.
-
If he moves his hand away, don't force yourself to hold his hand.

Step 6. Decide on a good time to talk to him while watching
Some people like to invite their date to chat in a low voice or whisper. To find out your date's preferences, don't talk to him until he has spoken to you first. If he starts to chat with you in a whisper, feel free to participate!
- Keep your voice volume up! Don't irritate the other person so that it's awkward watching the two of you.
- Don't look busy with your phone; trust me, it shows that you don't appreciate it.
Part 3 of 3: Ending the Date Well
Step 1. Take him somewhere after watching
Try taking him on a trip somewhere else to have a longer chat with him; for example, you could take him out for coffee or dinner at a restaurant near the cinema. Luckily, you both just finished watching a movie so it sure has a topic to talk about!
Observe the attitude of your date. If he seems physically distancing himself from you and keeps claiming he wants to go home, don't force him to go out with you after watching
Step 2. Take your date home
This behavior will give you a plus in his eyes. If he decides to take a taxi, at least accompany him to wait for the taxi.
Step 3. Determine if you can smell it
Observe your date's body language; if he's constantly leaning toward you at the end of the night, or if he's offering to give you a friendly hug, try conveying your desire to kiss him on the cheek or forehead before parting.
Don't do it if you don't feel ready! After all, a date can also end with a warm and friendly hug
Step 4. Say a proper parting sentence
Feeling happy on a date? Make sure your date knows it! Think carefully about whether you really enjoyed the conversation that took place before and after watching a movie; Also think about how you really feel about him. If you feel attracted to him, don't forget to say goodbye in a positive tone; also make it clear that sometime you want to travel with him again.
- Say something that goes something like, “It was so much fun going out with you! Thank you."
- If the response is also enthusiastic, make it clear that you want to meet and travel with him again. Say a sentence that sounds like, “I really want to go out with you again in the near future. Call me when you're free."
Step 5. Send a text message a few days later
A few days after the date, send a text message that reads, “It's so nice to be able to hang out with you. Don't forget to say yes, if you ever want to go out together again. Show that you really want to take him back on a trip with him.
