A dating myth that I hear all the time is that you should take a woman to a romantic comedy on a first date.

I disagree.

Think about it.

So you're with a woman that you're trying to flirt with and "make your move on".

But on the screen is an actor who's doing the exact same thing -only he's better-looking and much more charming.

So when you try to slide your hand down her back like the actor is doing, it's going to feel extra awkward because you're doing the exact "cheesy" thing to "seduce" her – except you're not as hot.

Furthermore, going to a movie is generally bad for a first date. You don't really get to talk, and you feel awkward as you walk out of the theatre. Do you go for a coffee or a walk to a movie, or do you just go home since it's getting late?

Nevertheless, if you do want to see a movie on a first date, try to see a horror movie. It's like the equivalent of taking a girl through a haunted house.

You'll raise her body temperature, get her blood pumping, and get her to want you to "protect" her.
Then you can tease her about getting scared to show your "masculinity", and finally advance physically with her as you hug her and make everything okay!

This is just one example of why conventional wisdom (including what your mother, sister, or female friends have taught you) is not always right.

What we "think" should work, such as taking a girl to a romantic movie, is not always the "right" thing to do.

In fact, it's always what we should NOT do.
