ok soi Sunday me and the 16 year old are going to see a movie. I dont see anything really good out, any suggestions for good teenage/date movies?

What's with Americans and going to movies?

I dunno, easy ice breaker I suppose... maybe more like tradition??? I still have my movie ticket from my first date with my gf...... and that was 3 years ago.

The girl can have a good time (watching the movie) and the guy can have a good time (being with the girl) and there isn't a lot of time for talking, which means he can't screw up as much.

Yeh. I get that. But, it just seems so sterile. Like a military operation or something.

because we are stereotypically all uncreative, fat, and barely mentally active beings who can think of nothing more to do than watch people on a screen for 2 hours.

I think the movies is a great first date! Are you too young and is it too soon to give her a peck on the cheek during the film? Follow it with a nice sit down dinner. Not fast food or take out! If you are low on funds, each pay half. If you don't want to ask or feel like a cheapskate, skip dinner. Mom and Dad might lend you a few dollars. Good one on one time, improves a potential bond quite quickly. If you are out with too many people, you lose track and touch with one another. Dinner and a movie might be generic and an American cliche, but it's fun. And that is all that matters. In my humble opinion anyway.

wow, wow, wow.

Don't knock the food court, there isn't a better follow up to a movie. If your lucky there might be a more "up-market" eatery in the food court, say a Nandos. If this is the case, pass it off like you think it's a genuine restaurant. The only downside is if your running late and said girl has to be back by a certain time so you have to grab a "take away" and eat it on the way back. And remember, you're never too old for the food court.

I agree with you. I forgot about the food court! The food is geneally quite good, you can sit and chat, it is less expensive and convinient! Ha ha, I also forgot that most movie theatres are in the malls nowadays as well! Duh!
