guy says he wants to go on a date to the movies so he can kiss

He wants to take me to the movies cause he says he wants to kiss me in the cinema. I don’t wanna get too overly touchy kissy as I wanna get to know each other well first. My ex was just into a woman’s body so I don’t want the same to be for this guy and plus I hate kissing. Someone else’s saliva just grosses me out. I wouldn’t mind going to the movies if he wanted to watch the movie and not kiss throughout the whole movie. What should I message him back and say?

Be honest.

Tell him you're happy to join him for a movie but it's a movie date not a kiss date.

Be polite and honest and set your boundaries

@SnowedIn what if I just say I’d enjoy watching the movie with you? Is that not direct enough?

@Fifidog ...maybe. But maybe not. He may not be savvy enough to pick up on the clue that you didn't say yes to the kissing so he assumes yes.

@SnowedIn good point thanks! What happens if I just change the topic and ignore that instead of addressing it?
Sounds like the guy maybe has a phobia about it (kissing). I sure wouldn't want to go watch a movie with that person since you will not get to watch it at all, so the money spent is a waste, and it might spoil that movie for you forever. Besides, if some couple in front of me were smooching through half the movie I might just dump my drink on them.
Sorry for the indelicate response though questions like this frustrate me on the grounds that

1. people are smarter than that. They will figure it out if you manipulaate them which is one thing if it's something small like taking advantage of their ignorance to sell them something in an online game but another entirely when it's human relationships. they tend to take those a bit more seriously.

2. There's really nothing in your actual question that would indicate that the guy in question is going to be amenable to what you've indicated you actully want which leads to 3

3. It sounds like the fellow in question wants something very different from you and you're asking for our advice on how to get the fellow on the same page as you but if we knew how to do it would be somewhat unethical to do so and secondly I don't know how anyways.

it sounds like he doesn't want the same things you do- I can't fix that for you.
i don't know why people don't just deploy honesty in these circumstances like I gotta be honest if he doesn't like your alternative at all what have you really lost? someone that wasn't on the same page as you? who gives a fuck?

What good is it if people don't even communicate openly and honestly?
Plus thought are like: if you're trying to get to know each other that's a lot of actual talking which is doesn't really work in the Cinema.

Ask him if he wants a Cleveland steamer
