You’re on
a first date.
It is going AMAZINGLY well. Not only do you find them extremely attractive and charming, but you have a lot in common and the conversation flows without a pause or awkward moment. They make you laugh and they treat the server well, which is always a good sign. They are flirtatious without being too direct or obvious and it is clear that what you are feeling is definitely mutual.
You escort them back to their home and it becomes obvious that neither of you want the evening to end, so they invite you in for a coffee. You agree and walk through their door and into their living room. And there prominently displayed on their wall is a framed movie poster.
This is significant for one reason: The movie displayed in that frame is the one film that you HATE more than any other. So much that even just thinking about it can make you angry at the world that allowed it to exist.
Your date notices you looking at it and says, “Isn’t it great? I love that movie so much. I’ve seen it a hundred times.”
Do you stay and have coffee?
And will there be
a second date?
It really depends on what film and why – some films do have that so-bad-it’s-good quality, and maybe they’re just taking the “LOL IRONY” approach to the next step.
Considering I am a huge Scifi geek, and my with is a horror , specifically slasher, film geek, a genre I do not like very much this question is oddly relevant. Who says couples have to like the exact same thing? If you like the person and there seems to be real chemistry, dropping the person because of a movie they like seems to be short sighted to me. Oh and my wife and I have been married for 15 in October, and we still argue over movies.
