Should You Watch A Romantic Movie On A First Date?

A dating myth that I hear all the time is that you
should take a woman to a romantic comedy on a first date.

 I disagree.

 Think about it. So you're with a woman that you're
trying to flirt with and "make your move on". But on the
screen is an actor who's doing the exact same thing -
only he's better-looking and much more charming. So when
you try to slide your hand down her back like the actor
is doing, it's going to feel extra awkward because you're
doing the exact "cheesy" thing  to "seduce" her - except
you're not as hot.

 Furthermore, going to a movie is generally bad for
a first date. You don't really get to talk, and you feel
awkward as you walk out of the theatre. Do you go for
a coffee or a walk to a movie, or do you just go home
since it's getting late?

 Nevertheless, if you do want to see a movie on
a first date, try to see a horror movie. It's like the
equivalent of taking a girl through a haunted house.
You'll raise her body temperature, get her blood
pumping, and get her to want you to "protect" her.
Then you can tease her about getting scared to show
your "masculinity", and finally advance physically
with her as you hug her and make everything okay!

 This is just one example of why conventional
wisdom (including what your mother, sister, or female
friends have taught you) is not always right. What we
"think" should work, such as taking a girl to a romantic
movie, is not always the "right" thing to do. In fact,
it's always what we should NOT do.
