We love relationship threads. We love movie threads. So...what have you learned? Repeating from another thread...all time classic from Fast Times at Ridgemont High on how to impress a girl...
I've learned that if you love a girl, you must lie to her, because lying shows that you care about her feelings. I've also learned about guns and butter.
Although its not from a movie, I learned the art of gift giving from a Saturday night TV show. To all the fellas out there with ladies to impress It's easy to do just follow these steps And that's the way you do it
I spend half the night talking to some girl who's looking around the room to see if there's somebody else who's more important she should be talking to. And it's like I'm supposed to be all happy 'cause she's wearing a backpack, you know? And half of them are just nasty skanks who wouldn't be nothing except they're surrounded by a bunch of drunken horny assholes. I'm not gonna be one of those assholes. Alright? It just makes me sick. It's like, some nasty skank who isn't half the woman my girlfriend is, is gonna front me? It makes me want to ****in' puke!
ima_drummer -- Great reference. Okay, I'll drop another one of these in here: Dating and the Movies By Jeff Wilser Dinner and a movie? That might be a little played out. So what else is there to do, you ask? Maybe you are out of ideas for creative dates. Thankfully, we can turn to the movies. These dating ideas, shamelessly lifted from some favourite (and sometimes least-favourite) movies, will have your date thinking you’re both creative and charming. 1. Hooky for a day – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Call in sick. Get her to call in sick. Then spend the day cramming in as much wacky fun as possible. Catch a baseball game, visit a museum (sneaking in with a third-grade class, of course), test-drive a Ferrari, watch a trading floor, bluff your way into a “snooty” restaurant, and then top things off by singing in the parade. The question isn’t what you did on the date, the question is what you didn’t do on the date. 2. Tennis – Wimbledon Competition is sexy. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t good at tennis or if she’s never held a racket. Just play. The flirtatious rivalry can lead to some interesting bets, such as, “I’m winning this next set, and if I don’t, I’ll buy you dinner.” Laugh all you want. These bets work. If you’re looking for a [gasp!] relationship, a physical activity like tennis will reveal far, far more about someone’s character than dinner, since they won’t be wearing the polished “date mask.” 3. Sexy pottery-making – Ghost No, you don’t really have to mold clay. It’s not about pottery. It’s about a shared hobby. Whether it’s building models, flying kites, or sculpting Bonsai trees, it doesn’t make a difference. But whatever it is, do it slow and with heavy eye contact. (It helps if you get your fingers intertwined.) Just hope that when you’re finished, you’re not killed by your best friend and forced to communicate through Whoopi Goldberg. 4. Fly a plane together – Pearl Harbor Okay, so you don’t really know how to fly a plane. Don’t sweat it. Plenty of companies offer flights for two. Assuming you don’t get air sick, the soaring flights and dizzying views are more romantic than going to the local diner, and we all know shared adrenaline can lead to even more fun times. 5. Dance lessons – Dirty Dancing You can’t go wrong with dancing. Dancing gives an excuse to get close and gives off the impression that you’re cultured. You could just hit a nightclub, but you’ll score more points and have more fun by actually attending a legit class. 6. Skiing – Better Off Dead So Beth broke up with you, huh? Forget her. Buck up, little trooper, and take that sexy new foreign exchange student and go skiing. You don’t ski? Go anyways. When you’re not falling, learning is fun, and it shows that you’re a good sport. Later, cozy up at the fireplace in the lodge. 7. Doing Laundry Together – 40 Days and 40 Nights Okay, so maybe this one is a tough sell. If artfully presented, though, any of life’s mundane tasks can be exploited for romance. You don’t need a black-tie event to dial up the charm. When finished, take a romantic ride on the city’s public transportation. 8. NBA Game – How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days If she hates sports, not the best idea for a first date. But if she’s into hoops, take in some NBA action. Unlike a movie or a show, a game lets you chat and flirt. Plus, you get to poke fun at the obnoxious fans around you. 9. Midnight Picnic (ideally on a frozen lake) – Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind A midnight picnic says that you’re soulful, introspective, and brimming with romance. In the movie, Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet just sort of sit there on the ice, soaking in the moment’s beauty. You will be more prepared. Bring a basket of snacks, a blanket, and a bottle of chilled champagne. 10. Jet skiing – Hitch If this is available in your area, definitely check it out. Water sports in general are a fun way to spend a hot summer day and can also bring out some playful competition that can be a fun way to flirt, as mentioned earlier. Just make sure not to kick your date in the face when getting on your jet ski. Honorable Mentions Ice Skating – Serendipity Window shopping – Breakfast at Tiffany’s Visiting a museum – There’s Something About Mary Watching Kung Fu movies together – Office Space Private game of ice hockey – Happy Gilmour Swing dancing – Swingers Bull riding – Urban Cowboy Drawing each other – Vanilla Sky Amusement Parks – Big
I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there, you're wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested but I'm not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she's not interested? So all of the sudden I'm getting, I'm starting to get interested... And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it's awkward, it's like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you're trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you're just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called "just the tip". Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you're on my hair.
Trent: You know what you are? You're like a big bear with claws and with fangs... Sue: ...big f*cking teeth, man. Trent: Yeah... big f*ckin' teeth on ya'. And she's just like this little bunny, who's just kinda cowering in the corner. Sue: Shivering. Trent: Yeah, man just kinda... you know, you got these claws and you're staring at these claws and your thinking to yourself, and with these claws you're thinking, "How am I supposed to kill this bunny, how am I supposed to kill this bunny?" Sue: And you're poking at it, you're poking at it... Trent: Yeah, you're not hurting it. You're just kinda gently batting the bunny around, you know what I mean? And the bunny's scared Mike, the bunny's scared of you, shivering. Sue: And you got these f*cking claws and these fangs... Trent: And you got these f*cking claws and these fangs, man! And you're looking at your claws and you're looking at your fangs. And you're thinking to yourself, you don't know what to do, man. "I don't know how to kill the bunny." With *this* you don't know how to kill the bunny, do you know what I mean? Sue: You're like a big bear, man. Mike: So you're not just like f*cking with me? Trent: No I'm not f*cking with you. Sue: Honestly, man.
Here's what NOT to do: "Hello Betsy. Hi, it's Travis. How ya doin'? Listen, uh, I'm, I'm sorry about the, the other night. I didn't know that was the way you felt about it. Well, I-I didn't know that was the way you felt. I-I-I would have taken ya somewhere else. Uh, are you feeling better or oh you maybe had a virus or somethin', a 24-hour virus you know. It happens. Yeah, umm, you uh, you're workin' hard. Yeah. Uh, would you like to have, uh, some dinner, uh with me in the next, you know, few days or somethin'? Well, how about just a cup of coffee? I'll come by the, uh, headquarters or somethin', we could, uh... Oh, OK, OK. Did you get my flowers in the...? You didn't get them. I sent some flowers, uh... Yeah, well, OK, OK. Can I call you again? Uh, tomorrow or the next day? OK. No, I'm gonna... OK. Yeah, sure, OK. So long."
Put on your robe and wizard hat.. and charm her with a spell. Take if from Harry Potter. He knows best.
**** her and her friend while some funky wah guitar action happens in the background... oh wait. wrong kind of movie...
Wooderson: That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
Take her to a "couples" movie in Times Square. Then, if she takes it the wrong way, kill a pimp and she'll be all over your business BETSY: What are you doing? TRAVIS (innocently): I bought a couple of tickets. BETSY: But this is a porno movie. TRAVIS: No, these are the kind that couples go to. They're not like the other movies. All kinds of couples go. Honest. I've seen them.
Where are you runnin' off to? If you can believe it, I've got a date tonight. Good for you. You got right back out there, kid. That's great. Aren't you gonna take a shower? You think I need to? There's a definite scent there. I don't know what it is. Just slap some cologne on. You'll be all right. I don't like to wear cologne. Thanks anyway. I think I'll be fine. You don't wear cologne? You'd rather show up on your date smelling like some barnyard animal? Just slap some cologne on. It shows you got a little class....Don't forget the balls. What are you talking about? Spray some on your balls. I won't put cologne on my balls. You think I'm some sort of savage? I want you to listen to me on this, listen carefully. I can smell your armpits from here, okay? What do your balls smell like when she sticks her face down there? Just give those bad boys a spritz, and she'll love it. Go ahead. Do what I tell ya. You're a sick, sick man...but I'll do it in the next room. They love it when the balls smell nice. Lets them know you care.
