1. Cinemas are usually located in commercial districts. Some people who lack dating skills choose to watch movies just for convenience.
2. Film and television dramas are highly misleading. For instance, they depict people holding hands and being intimate in cinemas, but in reality, cinemas are not suitable for advancing a romantic relationship. The back rows are clearly captured by surveillance cameras. Moreover, if the relationship is not yet at that stage and the girl rejects your advance, you still have to sit through the rest of the movie—how awkward would that be?
3. This habit has been passed down from older generations’ dating styles. I recently plan to read *Blossoms*, which includes a relevant plot. After the reform and opening-up, a series of couples’ cinemas were built in cities. The lighting in those cinemas was much darker than it is today, and the seats were connected sofas. Back then, social norms were relatively conservative; girls would travel far to cinemas to date someone to avoid gossip. Now it’s 2024, and there are all kinds of dating venues. There are far more suitable places to deepen a relationship, so cinemas are by no means a must.
