Ideally, you should have kissed your girl before the movies to make your movie kiss less awkward. It can be kind of hard to kiss someone for the first time in the dark.

Let the girl pick the movie to make her feel special. Ask her if there’s something she’s really wanted to see. But if she says she really doesn’t care, then you can take charge.

Try not to be obvious about it. If your girl asks why you’re so picky, just say that you like sitting on the sides of the theatre.

You can even ask her if she’s cold; chances are that she will be, because movie theaters are always freezing. This gives you an excuse to put your arm around her.

This is where those concessions can become a bit of a pain. Make sure you don’t accidentally knock over a drink or a box of Milk Duds. If she seems really into her snack, then you may want to wait a bit until she eats her food so she doesn’t feel intruded upon when you try to get close to her.

If she turns to you to make little comments or just when she laughs, then it’s another sign that she wants your faces to be closer together.

Even after you pull away, remain affectionate. Keep an arm around her shoulder or on her knee so she still feels like you’re paying attention to her.
