Today, I had my first ever date. He invited me to dinner and a movie. Then he put on "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." I couldn’t think of an excuse to get out, so I had to wait till the end of the film. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went on a movie date with a guy. He brought his mom. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML
Today, I went to see a movie by myself and ended up sitting next to a couple on a first date, who spent the whole movie whispering to each other. FML
Today, I had a first date. We really hit it off and wound up watching movies together and talking late into the night. I ignored a developing migraine all night, then tried to leave hurriedly when it got bad. He stalled me leaving by asking what's wrong. I started vomiting. FML
Today, I went on my first date in a long time. We went to see "New Moon." After the girl stole my hat, I grabbed her phone. While trying to get it back, she held a lighter to me, threatening me. Next thing I know my beard is on fire, so not only did I have to sit through horrible acting, I got burnt. FML
Today, I was going on a first date with a girl I really like. We were going to see the new Harry Potter movie, and she told me she was getting all dressed up. It was only after I picked her up I realized she meant that she was dressing nicely. I was dressed as Harry Potter. FML
Today, I went to the movies on a date. I went to pay for the tickets when I realized that I didn't have my wallet. Instead of my boyfriend paying, he laughed and paid for his own ticket. Then he went ahead and saw the movie without me. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to make a move on the guy I've been crushing on. I asked him if he would like to go see a movie with me. He answered, "Sorry, I've already seen it." I didn't even mention any particular movie. FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy who insisted we watch a film at his place. I agreed, despite feeling wary of a potential trap. Halfway through the film, he fell asleep and started snoring. When he woke up, he blamed me for “keeping him up all night.” I was there for less than an hour. FML
Today, at the movies on a date, I drank all my soda and waited too long. I couldn't take it anymore and quickly got up, knocking my date's popcorn on the floor, and ran to the bathroom. I didn’t make it and went home in shame. It’s better he thinks I stood him up. FML

You don't need an excuse to get out. If you don't want to be there then don't. You don't owe him anything. If you wanted to just watch something else a simple "hey, I don't want to watch this, can we watch something else?" should be enough. If he doesn't respect you enough to change the movie then that's a red flag and you should leave regardless. For the future though, you don't owe your dates anything. Not your time. Not your body. Nothing. The same goes for them. But try your best to date by those rules. There are a lot of not so pleasant people out there who will take advantage of people that don't speak for what they do or don't feel comfortable with. Date safe out there!

I love that film, so I don't see the problem. But if you wanted to leave, all you had to do was leave. And if you don'tike that film, you could have said, "I don't care for this movie. Can we watch something else?"

bro you have no idea what a guy could to do a girl after she says “no” she’s thinking about her own safety.

I don't know what that movie is, so I feel like there is a reference I am not getting.

It's a great movie about a badass girl who teams up with a journalist cum detective to find who murdered the heiress of a great family fortune (and send her father pressed flowers every year after the murder) and discovers a secret that almost has the journalist killed. And she saves him! It's got a great plot, action, romance, nerdy stuff, superb acting... it's perfect! I don't understand why anybody wouldn't want to see that movie!

The Swedish original is way better then the American. Here ,since the author was Swedish it was tv - series and soo good. Yes, dark and really heart wrenching. The original name for it is Män som hatar kvinnor, Men who hates women and not the girl with dragontattoo.

Rape scenes aren't date night movie material for a lot of people

True... but as I said..she could have asked for a different movie. And she could have left any time she wanted.

Maybe communicate with him. If I had an activity my date didn't like I would want her to tell me. Also jesus that was a bad movie for a date, that rape scene made me nope right out.

that is a terrible movie choice for a first date. anybody who wants you to watch a rape scene on a first date is waving huge red flags in your face

I feel like everyone's who's screaming "rape scene" here seems to not understand that it's a movie and isn't real. I understand, it can be triggering for a lot of those who have suffered past trauma relating to sexual abuse. While I agree that it is in poor taste; it isn't real.

Eggcellenct movie, bad ass characters. Maybe not best choice for first date, but you should watch it.

This excuse will get you out of pretty much anything and leave them confused. Just say... "OH SHIT I FORGOT TO UNTIE MY CAT" and run away
