| Would you Prefer Comedy clubs or Movies on the First date? Posted: 7/23/2006 4:04:47 PM | How about a dinner theater ?? One of the comedy types ??
O.T. Both those choices are good but I think that would depend more on what the two decide on .. some might just prefer a coffe and light talk to the noise of a movie or getting picked on by a comedien ( been there .. done that )

If that's the only idea they can come up with, I think I'll just stay home thanks.
A comedy club may be only slightly better as you still cannot talk....
Not great first date material in my books. | |

You want to at least learn a little about each other, I don't believe any of these venues, give either party a real chance to open up, and express themselves. | |

When I was younger I took a girl to see Pulp Fiction, at one point in the movie Christopher Walkin is giving a watch to Bruce Willis' character as a kid. Walkin's character says to the kid that he had to keep the watch up his butt for 3 years or something. At that point we both bursted out laughing. We were the only ones in the theater laughing, at that point I knew she would be one of the good ones. j
There are many ways to learn about someone, talking to each other is the most common and easiest, but also the most unreliable. Some people are just really good liar's. Mannerism's, what they laugh at, what they show interest in, and a plethora of other things can tell you the truth about someone more accurately than what they say. | |

most people don't go around lying (or at least one hopes they don't) and it's much more formal to chat/talk with someone on a 1st date while doing something that allows for it but also it allows you to "read" the other person while finding out their interest, sense of humor, likes of certain things, dislikes, etc. It's just a more personal one on one experience with more to be found out in/of each other to see if there's a mutual chemistry or not! Most don't want to sit quiet at a movie and not learn much about someone which they may not have much in common/compatibility or chemistry with in the 1st place (hence) waste time not finding out until another date or 2 when in reality, if you find out what you want to know on the 1st date and feel there's no use in taking it any further, you eliminate the time wasting - not to mention money/gas, etc. and you both can move on to another prospect all the quicker! | |

Posted: 7/23/2006 7:47:32 PM | Yeah I know that most people don't go around lying and being able to talk on a first date is always a must for me. The date isn't over as soon as the movie is or the fat lady starts singing at the comedy club. I just find reactions that are not calculated (such as a laugh at joke) or guarded can give more insight into a person than the usual small talk, banter, that goes on during a first date.
I like having both, but it all depends on the girl and very few are comfortable enough to do much more than a meet and greet with a guy they meet from the internet. | |

| Would you Prefer Comedy clubs or Movies on the First date? Posted: 8/4/2006 5:57:04 AM | I woulldn't go for it on a first date either. When meeting someone for the first time, I'd like to actually get to know them a bit. Going to a movie or comedy club is just a distraction from actually doing that.
For a SECOND date, I'd go with the comedy club - unless there was some exceptionally interesting movie playing that we could watch, and later discuss together.
Nothing worse than seeing a fantastic film, and not be able to talk about it with someone. | |

Posted: 8/6/2006 2:49:03 PM | actually a comedy club might be a good start, with several comic s they er routeen s would be differen t, one may be more political and one may be more racial, the other more sexual, then after yuo can go for coffee and a bite to eat, then have a good discussion using the routeen s of the comic s as a conversation starter | |
