Menewsha Avatar Community - Ugh, this doesn't make any sense! [rant]

Ok, so I've got this friend, that I've been friends with for about a month. He's already decided that he likes me, and I've told him to wait and see what happens. (this isn't really the issue here, but it might connect somewhere).

So last weekend we got into this big argument because he wanted me to see this movie with him, that I didn't want to see because it was a comedy and I don't really find myself enjoying comedies all that much. His main point "You have to make sacrifices for other people.", my main point "None of my other friends would ever ask me to go see a movie I didn't want to see, plus, there are plenty of other movies that we would both enjoy seeing together, why does it have to be this one?"

This argument ended in a stalemate with pretty much nobody leaning in any direction.

Later we're talking and he tells me that said movie isn't actually that much of a comedy and I have a change of heart. The movie sounds interesting now. I'd like to see it, and convinced that he stills plans on taking me to see it.

Fast forward to today. A movie comes in the mail from Netflix and I think he might like it. I text him to ask if he'd like me to bring it over next time we hang out. Response "You decide." My response, "Well I'm not going to bring it if you don't really want to watch it. Do you want to see it?" His response, "If you want to." This goes on for an hour and a half before he finally breaks down and says he would like to see it but didn't want to say anything because he would be a burden to me because I'd have to wait to watch a movie that I asked him if he wanted to see. (Make any sense?) Then he goes on about how I'm too nice to him for letting off the hook for taking nearly two hours on a question that takes five seconds to answer. My response "It's cool, don't worry about it."

Just when I think everything's good now I get "Next time you should just decide though." Apparently because he wants to make a sacrifice and just do something that I want to do without me asking him about it. Now, I don't feel comfortable telling other people to do what I want, I find it very rude. I'd rather stick with something that everyone would enjoy rather than telling people to suck it up and make a sacrifice for me.

I tell him that I decided to see that movie with him, I get "But it's a comedy."
"You told me it wasn't a comedy."
"But the only stuff in the trailer is funny and it's basically a comedy."
"Well I decided I wanted to see it"
"Well you're making a sacrifice for me so you have to let me make sacrifices for you"
As I said, I'm not comfortable telling other people to enjoy what I enjoy. So, after about a half an hour of that back and forth I finally say "I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU TO DO ANYTHING."
I get some astonished replies (omg) and then he says "Good night I can't talk to you right now...
You're going to end up hurt this way."

Really, I don't understand it. Is it so bad for me not to want people to say "Oh I just want to do whatever you want to do." Is it wrong for me to want everybody to happy instead of just me. It's just so frustrating that I'm a bad guy because I want us to enjoy things we both like together rather then sacrifice when we don't have to.

Please, if I'm wrong for thinking this way someone tell me and I'll go apologize, but I just don't understand it.
