Any girl is going to be pissed if you pick her up and she's wearing killer heels and is having a great hair day and your planning on going go-cart racing. Or the other way around she's sporting a pony, wearing a breezy and flip flops and you were planning Spago.~I knew exactly where it was, I just couldn't find it.~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/krstnparker/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swedishcelt 0 #78 September 25, 2008 Quote Quote cause I keep missing you at the dz. And I am worried that your aim is getting better. Quote Seriously though, we should make a dinner date, for those taking notes.. See, The great "Yo, Sweet Cheeks.. You Me Sushi" Line has worked yet again!!. Dayum J, I think that's the line you tried on me... LOL. I don't remember how much you spent and I usually don't even think of money ever.... with anyone- be it friendship or a date. I always bring enough money to cover myself but never have been asked to pay? What does that mean? I always offer to pay half but no one ever wants me too... maybe I just only go out with really classy gentlemen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #79 September 25, 2008 OK... some of these responses are funny (funny strange, not funny ha ha) Seriously. Do some of you expect to pay $500 for a date!? That's .... wow. There shouldn't be a monetary value set to getting to know someone. And there shouldn't be expectations for how "she's gonna cost" or "he's gonna spend on me" (or vice versa) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going beyond that - Best one I ever got was sitting in a bar, talking to this girl for a few minutes, and then she blurts out "So you gonna buy me a drink?" ...."Nope" and went on my way. At least she made it easy for me early on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos340 1 #81 September 25, 2008 Quote OK... some of these responses are funny (funny strange, not funny ha ha) What is really funny is that I asked how much a First date/ Night out typically costs and even stipulated that I knew it doesn’t have to cost anything and generally creative dates are better anyway... Yet look at how many people took it otherwise.A Girl gets asked out for a dinner date, She should at least expect a sit down restaurant or a creative substitute. Anything less shows a lack of respect in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #84 September 25, 2008 Quote Quote I wouldnt spend that much probably. Since I dont make large sums of money I like to be creative with the dates I go on. For example: Ill take a lady to a drive in diner and have burgers and shakes. After that (since I think the whole movie thing is pretty cliche') Ill take her to Putt-Putt, or bowling, or even just a nice drive though the canyon up to the resivior near Ogden just for some quality "find out about each other" time. From very early on I was taught that if you need to impress a woman with money then thats probably not the woman you want to be with. I would start to worry you were going to rape me, slice my head off, rape me again and then bury my body parts all across the county if I went on one of those kinds of dates. Reminds me of a date in high school... I was shy, quiet and naive as hell. She was new in town so after we ate at Friendly's I wanted to show her the nice view at the river. So drove the dark road to the park, I stopped the car and she made a weird scared sound. Opened the doors and we walked down to the docks. Showed her the view and took her home. I think I may have hugged her at the door. Realized later how much I prolly scared her and never asked her out again.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

mamajumps 0 #94 September 25, 2008 The first date should cost little to nothing. This in my opinion is the most important time for first impressions, and trying to impress him or her with money, is not the way to go, at least for me it isnt.

LadiDadi 0 #98 September 25, 2008 QuoteI want to make sure a guy can't answer "kids" to that question. I hope I don't offend anyone, men or women, with the statement, but kids just aren't for me. I totally agree!! Back when I was dating - oh - about a hundred and fifty years ago, this became one of my first date questions or pre-date questions. I was shocked at the number of men who answered 'yes' to the question that were offended by my response. If a guy had kids then the date became some friends hanging out; there would be no second date. Most guys would get really pissed about it. I would explain that I didn't want to have any kids of my own, why would I want someone else's? I also wouldn't date a guy who didn't have kids but wanted them. I made that mistake for 5 years with a guy. It's not really something you can compromise on. He wants 4 you want none so you have two??? ************************* The answer to the original poster's question of how much you should spend on a first date is: You shouldn't have to spend any more than half if the chick is cool but you should be prepared to pay for all of it. (unless she asked you out in which case I think she should pay)If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
