If you are anything like me, dinner and a movie dates are the catchalls for when you don't have time for anything else, or haven't the inclination to come up with a creative date. Which for most people isn't a problem -- until you have to come up with a date movie that both of you will enjoy.
So stop stressing and pick a flick from this comprehensive list of great date movies, or feel free to email me your suggestion if you think I've missed something crucial.
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
If only we could erase the memories of partners past - what kind of trouble could we get into? In my mind, this is what Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is all about: playing with fate, and fate having a laugh at our expense. Because if we were meant to meet someone, then erasing their existence from one's memory could only lead to -- meeting them again. Or could it?
2. Say Anything
I once saw a gent who'd dressed up as the main character (played by a very young John Cusak) at a Halloween party. With no exaggeration, both men and women flocked to him all night. This film has unmistakable power even nearing its twenty year anniversary - and like the tagline of the film says, "To know Lloyd Dobbler is to love him." Anyone who has watched this movie, does. A great film to see for couples who have struggled to either be or stay together, proving that sometimes love is enough.
3. The Princess Bride
A bit of a Cinderella story that leans more towards the fantastical, The Princess Bridge is a beautiful tale of a grandfather reading a bedtime story to his grandson. From giants to accomplished swordsmen, monsters and princes, this is a movie sure to delight singles and couples everywhere, and is a perfect show for single parent who'd like to involve their children in a movie date night.
4. When Harry Met Shally
Can men and women just be friends? Its a long standing debate, and it couldn't hurt to know how your partner feels about the subject. When Harry Met Sally is now a classic tale of friends who were friends for years, until one of them realized they felt like more than just friends, and went for it. Consequences be dammed, this is a great flick for those who took a risk for a date, or just those who enjoy a decent story and numerous laugh out loud moments about love and relationships.
Waiting for your suggestions.

Dating Sites
Internet dating or matchmaking services give members the opportunity to look at all the options and make a more informed decision about whom they want to contact. Members of these services are given the opportunity to take the initiative and pursue the person he or she is interested in meeting.
Most internet dating or matchmaking web sites were created for people of any lifestyle, however, many Americans singles realized that meeting other eligible Americanss could be quite difficult. Americans Dating Sites emerged from the need of American singles to contact other Americans singles in their community. Like other dating web sites, Americans dating sites vary, depending on what the person is looking for.
Some sites target a specific age demographic, such as single Americanss over 30 years old. Most sites, however, are for any age and denomination. They vary in the way that the questionnaire is set up and how people can contact each other. Matchmaking and dating services tend to work through questionnaires, and they will ask both in-depth and general questions.
Some Americans dating sites are actual matchmaking services that match one person’s profile with that of another. After the person has filled out the questionnaire or series of surveys, the site will match up the person with a variety of potential dates based on similar interests, demographics, and psychographics. This person can then peruse the list of potential dates and decide whom to contact. Most matchmaking sites like these will also give members the opportunity to perform their own searches based on certain criteria. The site will then direct them to the profiles of the other dating service members that fulfill those criteria.
Other Americans dating sites do not match profiles; rather, they encourage people to register, post a profile, and browse other members’ profiles. The questions asked on these profile-building pages are far more general than the questionnaires on the matchmaking sites. Anyone who is a member is able to contact other members directly; either through a web based email available through that service or through other web-based tools, like blogs.
