Okay...perhaps I'm just being a little weird but I don't think so.

Yesterday I went to the movies right after work on a whim. I went to see "King Arthur". I get my popcorn and drink and find an empty seat towards the front of the theatre smack dab in the middle of the screen. I was happy. There were 4 empty seats on both sides of me and plenty of leg room. So now here's where it gets strange.

A dude comes in and he sits two seats to my left. Right as the movie's about to start, he leans over and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to me. Now I'm thinking that he's got friends coming so I just say "No". He then gets up and sits in the seat DIRECTLY NEXT TO ME! Now there are 4 empty seats to my right and opposite him there are 4 empty seats to his left.

Now the only thing I could think of why he would sit directly next to me when there were plenty of empty seats around us is that either:

A) The dude is very anal about being as close to the center of the screen as possible.
B) He was planning on hitting on me. Or...
C) He didn't want to look like he was seeing a movie alone and figured if he sat next to me it would look like we were together.

Now...I don't know about everyone else but...I don't even sit directly next to my guy FRIENDS when we go to the movies together! It's all about personal space when men hang so why would this dude think that sitting next to me would be okay when there were plenty of empty seats all around us?? I mean...WHAT THE HELL!?!?

Has this ever happened to anyone else?
