That way the fact that she's in it for a free meal is out in the open and nobody feels cheated. If the date didn't go anywhere you can keep the receipt and write it off as a charitable donation. | |

Posted: 6/16/2012 6:03:18 PM | I would say Pay half.
Went on my fist POF Date on Wednesday, after 2 cancelled twice due to work, thought I save her the trouble and drive to her (40min drive)
Met in a bar, then went to a quick meal. Thought everything went well. I bought the first round of drinks, then she agreed to buy the 2nd etc. Got a text today going, If I ever want success, it's polite to at least buy a couple of rounds.
Didn't respond, deleted number etc. Unless if it's from a date I met in real life, a 1st date from online, you haven't got that comfort, and me spending money isn't going to build that, the first date shouldn't be just the man trying to impress the woman, the woman should make some effort to impress the guy. My view anyway. | |

Posted: 6/21/2012 1:56:53 PM | | As a man I always pay for the whole date. At MOST a date is going to cost a man $150. The average first date I been on cost far less. If $150 breaking a man's wallet he shouldn't be dating in the first place. *Just my two cents.* | |

Why don't you mind your own damn business about how much others want to spend on dates. That's my two cents to you. | |

Its "balcony" "stadium" and its "Machu Picchu" respectively in your captions to your pics..
If the words balcony, stadium and Machu Picchu are breaking a man's spelling ability, he shouldn't be posting on forums in the first place. Just my two cents. | |

Posted: 6/22/2012 8:05:01 AM | LOL! Indeed, when the woman offers to pay I think DOAH! she's not interested. I think its just the social norm here.
I think just keep the upscale dates for when you know there is some possibility of a relationship forming. If its a lets get to know each other meet up then a lighter more fun environment is likely better anyway. | |

No worries, just giving you a hard time. Although, I do think $150 is too steep to be realistic. If you go on 1 date per weekend, 4 dates a month, that's $600 a month. You personally might be doing well enough for that but I don't think the average guy is raking in enough to spend that much just on 4 days of the month. Specially with the economy the way its been for the past 5 years or so. | |

Posted: 6/23/2012 12:19:38 PM | | I think spending 150 bucks on a 1st date is nuts! Unless you guys have been building up a relationship on line, phone, cam, texting etc and live a distance from eachother! You should be just doin meet n greets for a 1st meeting coffee tea walk at the park something like that. Any guy that does that when hes never even met me I would think hes either trying too hard or mismanages his funds. Even if he was a trust fund baby I think its still a lil inappropriate. | |

I'm not balling like that. lol I used $150 because well...lets face it. Many guys have had you know what at some point on the first night. Wasn't trying to get too graphic. So if you count the cost of a room then a date may very well come out to $150. That's why I said "AT MOST". As for giving me a hard time...no biggie. I have a sense of humor so I wasn't offended or anything. lol | |

I told the other guy why I wrote $150. My first dates usually consists of a movie, maybe something to eat. Sometimes a few drinks. Well $150 is a little steep for any date. I probably should have wrote $75 dollars. No, wait..$60 at most. A movie & dinner date would be approximately $60 for two people. lol | |

Posted: 6/24/2012 10:46:40 AM | | On a first dated it should ALWAYS be Dutch, I think. But in most cases, I've had the men want to pay. On my last date, I had to talk him into letting me leave the the tip! I never expect the men to pay even after the first date. I think it should be Dutch and once in a relationship, whomever invites should pay for the date. I have no problem with this, especially if he is good company. | |

I appreciate that mentality Jazz, I wish more women felt like you do. | |

Posted: 7/7/2012 7:11:55 AM | | Why are you taking women out on expensive dates? Do NOT spend more than $40 total on a date. Zero is optimal. NO EXCEPTIONS. By the way, the more money you spend, the less likely it is that you will get laid. Women don't respect men who spend a much of money on them; it shows that you lack confidence and you need to spend money to make up for that. If you want to spend a bunch of money on a woman, hire a prostitute. At least that way, you'll get what you paid for. Check this out. www.blowmeuptom.com.

Posted: 7/20/2012 2:16:20 AM | | Let's face it. In an ideal world, men and women would take turns paying for dates. However, when you bring up taking more of an active interest with sharing the driving responsibilities, date planning, ans financial aspects of dating to women you are dating, it always falls on deaf ears. So what I did is circumvent the system. Start researching cheap and free date activities. Spend some time scouting locations and planning them. That way when you meet a woman you want to know, you have a whole slew of dates that cost little to no money. Then when you want to treat a woman who deserves it to a nice date every once and awhile, it won't effect your bottom line. | |

Posted: 7/22/2012 5:06:53 PM | This is how I see it. When I INVITE the girl out, I PAY. I initiated the date, so I pay. I don't expect her to even touch her wallet. If she says she'll pay half or even offers to pay the FULL bill, I reply with, "you can take care of next time's bill."
Also, this can possibly set up your next date, if you like the girl that is. | |
