Dude, can't you combine all your posts into one? It gets kind of annoying when you have nine (NINE!) replies back to back to back.
Anyway, maybe he was lonely and wanted to make a friend? Definately strange, and that shit wouldn't fly with me. Of course I don't go to movies alone, I go with friends, and we always sit next to each other. That way we can talk about/ridicule the movie without pissing others off (unless the movie really blows ass).

Personally, the center is the best part to sit in for obvious reasons. Now, perhaps he should have sat in the center of a different row (if there were many seats available) but I really don't see this as THAT odd.

In Southern culture, "free space" is a neccessity. If there are two cars parked on a row, a Southerner will instinctively park in the space that is the geometric center between the two cars (giving maximum room on each side). That's why Southerners are appalled at the idea of going to the Jersey shore, where people are packed on top of each other. If you go to a Florida panhandle beach, you'll see Southerners pick spots that are as far away from each other as possible.
Yankees, on the other hand, tend to cluster together for some reason. They walk in packs, drive in packs, and sit together in packs. Therefore, my observation on your movie seat situation is that the guy was a Yankee.

This is one thing that continually enrages me about buses and movies. No one ever sits right beside a stranger in a crowded movie theatre, so even when the theatre is 'full', in reality, there's about 50 unused seats acting as comfort spacers.

Sounds like he wanted to wierd you out of the seat. I'm eye for an eye when it comes to trivial stuff like this, so I would've wierded him right back.

I always sat right next to my brother when we went to the movies. I would feel like an idiot sitting a seat apart... My ego isn't big enough to need THAT much personal space.
As for what that guy was thinking... he probably wanted to make a move on you. You should be delighted that someone potentially found you that attractive/interesting/whatever.

I also don't get why people are embarassed about going to a movie by themselves. Of all the leisure activities, movies are the best thing to do alone. Hell you're sitting in a dark theatre looking forward, does having someone you know in the seat next to you add anything to the experience? I hate having someone talking during the movie, even if they're talking to me, so if my friends can't keep their mouth shut through a movie, I'd rather they weren't there at all |

When I read the original post the first thing that came up was that EuroTrip movie. The part where that French guy sits right next to and in between those guys.....
"Oh Escusa" as he puts his hand on that one guys leg...

At least he didn't sit on your lap. That is what I would qualify as strange.
Also, gay men/women are just like the rest of us. Some are shy, some are outgoing, etc. No need to generalize that all would immediately hit on you.

Once i'm seated in the theater, I do not move. I don't care who you are. Get there early next time. Also: I have been hit on a few times by gay men (not in a theater). Although they are peddling their wares at the wrong bake sale, I am flattered that I am attractive enough to them to make them want to try. Last edited by analog; 07-19-2004 at 10:49 PM.. |

My immediate reaction would have been to get up and move back several rows (so I could keep an I on him) because I have a really big "personal space." But he was probably trying to weird you out. There is no way anyone would do this just to get a better seat. Thinking about it a little more, the best response might have been to work up a couple of really good farts.
