    First Dates: Skip the Movie and Popcorn
    Copyright © 2005, Alan Stafford , All Rights Reserved

    A common and popular first date is going to a movie and sharing 
    some popcorn. But while you want the date to be fun, your purpose 
    here is not entertainment. The reason for a first date with 
    anyone is to see whether you want to date them a second time. The 
    whole dating process is a screening process to help you find that 
    special someone. As a way of getting to know someone, going to 
    the movies is actually a poor choice for first dates. 
    
    
    Close, But No Cigar
    
    The two of you will spend two hours together. Close together, but 
    not talking! That is like having sex on the first date. Also 
    close together; no talking. In either case, the lack of 
    communication does not help you get to know the other person. 
    This would be like going to the library and reading books on a 
    sofa together. Without dialogue and an exchange of ideas and 
    opinions, you can't get to know the person you're dating. You 
    can't determine if he's Mr. Right or Mr. Wrong. Let's face it: in 
    most cases he'll be Mr. Wrong. So, it just makes sense to 
    determine right from wrong as soon as possible. Why date for a 
    month or two only to decide you don't like the other person. Find 
    out on the first date if you can.
    
    
    How To Turn A Movie Into A Good First Date.
    
    You can't know if you're to end the relationship only after 
    watching a film together. All you can notice during a movie is 
    whether he likes butter on his popcorn. The value of a movie date 
    starts before you enter the theater and resumes after the movie 
    is over. Here's how a movie date can help you in the dating 
    process.
    
    Before the movie, watch to see whether your date is controlling 
    and unyielding in choice of movies. Is he willing to compromise? 
    Does he respect your preferences or laugh at them. When he 
    chooses a blood-and-guts movie over your comedy film, ask him why 
    he finds that kind of movie interesting. Here is your first 
    inkling of his consideration as well as his taste in 
    entertainment.
    
    After your first movie date, discuss what each of you liked and 
    disliked about the movie. The actual answers are unimportant. 
    What you're listening for are opinions, beliefs, and attitudes 
    that will help you decide whether to continue to date this 
    person. 
    
    
    Are You Dating A Boy Or A Man?
    
    If your partners' opinions are childish, he is probably not 
    mature enough for a long-term relationship. One clue is if he got 
    really excited when the machine gun mowed down all the people in 
    the restaurant scene. This could be a hint that life is a video 
    game to him or that he has some serious anti-social tendencies. 
    
    If he isn't really interested in talking to you, decide right now 
    that this is your first-and last-date. All he's interested in is 
    a short-term relationship. Usually that means that all he wants 
    next is to have sex. On the other hand, if you can't get a word 
    in because your partner's talking all the time, nod politely and 
    yawn occasionally to signal that it's getting late. Decline a 
    second date from this windbag. He may be intelligent and 
    charming, but he's more interested in himself than he is in you.
    
    
    This Is Only A Test
    
    Remember, first dates are evaluation dates. You are interviewing 
    prospects for the job of being your life partner. It is just the 
    first step in a lengthy screening process to find Mr. Wonderful. 
    Have fun, but spend your date time getting acquainted so you know 
    who's worthy of that second date with you.
