If I (guy) see a movie with a friend (girl), should I buy her ticket? It seems like doing so would be awkward, and not doing so would also be awkward. So which is the least awkward?

Paying for her would send her signals that you might like her, and that could be potentially awkward and might make her think that it's a date or something.
I've been to movies before with guys who are just friends, and it wasn't awkward at all for me to pay for myself and for him to pay for himself. That way, it's definitely established that it's a "just friends" thing so it's not awkward. [ uisforukelele's advice column | Ask uisforukelele A Question ]

It depends on who invited who; If you asked her to go, then it's okay for you to pay. But if you're just meeting up there, possibly with more friends, she should probably pay up for her own ticket. If you feel bad about not buying the ticket, you can always treat her to popcorn later ^.^ [ Katilix's advice column | Ask Katilix A Question ]

Whenever I go to the movies with some female friends, everyone pays their own, unless their boyfriend comes with them?

Sometimes they pay for everything there and sometimes I insist on buying my ticket.
It depends what type of friend she is.
If it's a date, I think you should buy her a ticket.
If she's a good friend, she'll probably insist on buying her ticket.
