@mrlaconic Hopefully a date with you would last longer the the 1.5 to 2 hours it would take to see a movie. A movie would be part of the date, not the whole thing. Ii is something to do that people can relax and enjoy. A first date with you sounds like it would be to intense for me. Not everyone would be comfortable with several hours of pure face to face contact, playing “getting to know you” games.
It’s a first date. Many people need to ease into these things, myself included. It’s nice to have something to do, to have a purpose on a date. Going to a movie and the talk that comes before and after, is better than just going to dinner on a first date and maybe having 2 hours of awkward silence interspersed with attempts at conversation, because it turned out that maybe the two of you don’t have that much in common or that much to talk about after all.
Maybe dinner and a movie? The best of both worlds?
