Is taking my crush out to the movies as a first "date" or hangout a good idea?

So I'm gonna ask my crush out soon but I'm hesitating because my friends say don't take her to the movies because she'll suspect you're trying to get with her. Or they say bring more of your friends with you so I wouldn't be you and her alone. I'm really confused and nervous about it because she's giving me signs (staring at me, teasing me, talking to me, touching my arm when I tell her bye, and even leaning her head on my shoulder) idk what should I do. Can someone please help and give me advice???
