Things You'll Need

• candles
• <br>pillows
• <br>snacks
• <br>wine
• <br>a movie

Instructions

1. Plan ahead! Find out everything you can up front. Find out exactly what kind of movies she likes, what she has already seen and what she wouldn’t mind seeing again. After you have this information you need to be careful to choose a movie that you would enjoy somewhat also, otherwise the whole thing can be a disaster.

2. Pick a good time. Timing is everything! Don’t pick a day or time when either one of you will be so exhausted that one or both of you will fall asleep. Also be careful to pick a time when you will not be interrupted. Similarly make sure you have adequate time to watch the movie. If the movie is two hours long you really need at least three hours, so that you won’t feel rushed and you’ll have time for bathroom breaks, popcorn breaks and for any other reason you may want to break.

3. Be prepared! Get your popcorn snacks, soda or anything else you want and have it on hand. Make sure you have your girlfriend preferences handy. If you’re both up for it, you can plan a nice meal for the movie to make it a little more special. Make sure you prepare something that isn’t overly messy or that requires you pay a lot of attention to the meal instead of the movie. No lobster or wings! Quesadillas might be a good idea.

4. Add a few special touches. Put a few candles up. Don’t go overboard, just add two or three and don’t put them near the screen or on the floor where they may get knocked over. Maybe have a little wine prepared, but not too much you don’t want anyone to get sick or fall asleep. Use big comfortable pillows for relaxing.

5. Make sure you’re on the same page. If you’re just planning a make out session and she really wants to watch a movie you could be in for a very disappointing and frustrating evening.

6. Be flexible. You’re planning to watch a movie with your girlfriend and you’ve prepared everything, but if unplanned distractions happen be ready to go with the flow. Just be ready to have a fun evening and set your attitude accordingly.
