Assuming that he doesn't have a really good explanation, like that he got assaulted by a gang of prepubescent ruffians on his way out of the last Power Rangers movie, is it wrong for me to judge him for this? I'm judging already anyway, I just want to know if this will put me a different circle of hell.
If I was head over heels in lust with him, maybe I could overlook this, but wtf? I love going to see movies and I can't imagine not being able to go see new releases with the person I'm dating.
He actually told me that if I want to watch a movie with him, I should tell him a week ahead of time so he can order what I want to see on Netflix. We've only been on a couple of dates, so even if he doesn't like movie theaters, shouldn't he be kissing my butt right now to get me into bed, and saving his weird-ass issues to tell me after the deed is done?
So, who wants to go see Intolerable Cruelty with me this weekend?

It is simple. He doesnt like the crowds, the parking, the faux velvet or other itchy material seats, the half hour to fortyfive minutes of commercials that you are paying to see and the disappointment of what used to be good popcorn. Cant compare it to the theater. Apples and oranges. Though going to the theater is kinda gay, nttawwt- i just know your tendencies.
There is a chance he is just really cheap though. Like why pay twenty bucks for two tix when he can watch at home for like four bucks or less in several months. And the candy and popcorn. Assuming he isnt cheap, I wouldnt judge, My parents wont go either (though I think they went once last year to see a very special movie), and lets face it, I have gone maybe twice inthe past year myself. Why waste a night out sitting and watching if you could do that on your excellent at thome theater system. Otherise, go out to a restaurant or do something social.
