Thanks hun, but don't worry it's not serious yet so I'll still be there to give it to you when you need it.

But anyways, no offense:

Also, I don't get why people keep shitting on the movie idea? It's simple, you go for drinks or coffee first and chat, then you go see a movie (something light hearted, indie-comedies are usually quite good for dates) and then you go for a meal/more drinks afterwards. That way, if the conversation is hard to come by because of nerves or a lack of familiarity then you can just talk about the movie you just watched.
Because the first time out, I want to spend my time getting to know my date. Movies are simply not conducive to conversations. If you sandwich it between drinks and meal or more drinks, you're talking about like a 5 or 7 hour evening out if you're really going to dedicate the time needed to conversation.
