This guy that I've been working at a restaurant with has FINALLY asked me out after months of flirting and a couple weeks of texting. We've both been dying to see Batman, so that's what we're going to do. Hes almost 20, as I'm still a senior in High school. He's the cool, laid back partier. He went to a large High school and from what I hear was very popular. I have partied before and am somewhat considered popular or well known in my small high school and the only negative thing about me is that im very self concious about my weight (im 5'7 and plus sized, but I'm deff not a whale) so anyways I am SUPER nervous about how this date will go! Can anyone give me their experience on a first date, or a movie date? This sounds so middle school-ish but what if he tries to kiss me? Haha thanks guys
As far as the kiss thing goes, I've always figured that, if at the end of the date, she wouldn't kiss me then she wasn't interested. Then I would move on to other girls. Just do what you want to do. Don't let anyone pressure you, and by that I mean either society or the guy, into doing or not doing something. And don't overthink, either. You'll just drive yourself and, ultimately, your man, nuts. Relax, be yourself and go from there! [ VoiceofReason's advice column | Ask VoiceofReason A Question ]

Well, the good things is that you are seeing a movie. If things are awkward you don't have to talk :)
You can feel out how the night will go through the movie. Maybe he makes a funny joke during some parts or sits close to you. You will alos have something to talk about after the movie!!
Just remember:
it's a first date, be yourself, be the person he asked out!
relax.
don't think you have to impress him - you already have!!
don't ramble on and on.
keep the convo going.
smile.
giggle.
look him in the eyes!
HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!

I know so many people will call me a hater, but just look at the sort of guy he is really, and how hes going about it. In fact its just plain obvious. Otherwise you wouldnt even be asking here, donttrick yourself and find someone whos obviously not doing this [ Santino's advice column | Ask Santino A Question ]

Movie was good but at time we wouldn't watch and we would just talk. Then i started watching the movie again and he asked if i wanted the rest of my nachos i said no and gave it to him i looked at him & just when i was going to look away he said don't, he put his hands on my face & kissed me. I was so shocked honestly, but also blown away. I was shocked because i didn't think we were going to kiss at that night but it was so romantic and simple too.
Basically if he tries to kiss you then just kiss back. Don't be scared & pull away it'll take the romance away. Trust me go with the flow. You guys are finally going out make this a great date. Wear something nice but not to over the top. If you want you can e-mail me & send me pictures of ideas you have and i can help you choose something for this perfect date. :)

The good thing about seeing a movie, is that it's silent. You don't HAVE to try and make nervous small talk, and once you're done, you have something to talk about. So when you meet him, say hello (obviously), ask how his day has been, etc, etc.
He must think you're attractive, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you out. So there's no need to panic about that. If he didn't like you, he wouldn't have asked you out.
When watching the film, you'll notice some things before the kiss. These include:
1. Nervous shuffling about (he's trying to figure out when the best time is)
2. Looking at you. If you look back, and stare into each others' eyes, then you know what's coming.
3. The old "YAWN *stretch my arms* trick.
So he won't go in straight away trying to kiss you. So if you don't feel comfortable, then watch out for these signs, and don't kiss him. If you do want to kiss him, then go for it!
The key is to relax though. If you're all panicky, then something is likely to go wrong. Relax, enjoy the date, and enjoy the movie!
