Are movies really a good location for a date?

If you are on a date with someone you don’t know very well it can be great. You spend time with them, you have some cuddling and you have something to talk about afterward. When it is someone you know well or have been with for a while I don’t think it is all that great because, like you mentioned, it actually limits your interactions, but different strokes for different folks. Some people never grow out of movie dates.

It's difficult to get to know someone at the movies, I usually saved those after we've been together for awhile

No. I think 'Netflix and chill' is a better idea.

Not for a first date, no.
