Posted: 7/24/2006 3:42:47 PM | many women put dining in a restaurant as a first date. Personally if I dont know the woman and she wants to meet at a restaurant for a first date i would not do it because why waste a ton of money on someone you have never met. I had this happen to me....i must have spent at least $150 .00 and then the lady has the gall to say " thanks for the meal but you are really not my type".
She should have told me in the first few minutes of the date that I am not her type and i would have not wasted all my hard earned money on some " gold-digger " who is only interested in a free meal.
I bet she gets a lof of free meals that way.
A first " dinner date " should be ovr a cup of coffee at a local restaurant.
i am gonna be cautious next time. LADIES...money does not grow on trees.us GUYS bust our asses to earn our money
I AM NOT BEING A MAN WITH A TIGHT WALLET....I just like to spend my money wisely
thanks
good luck

That's kinda smart, I have to admitt! | |

Posted: 7/24/2006 4:47:56 PM | I always pay for myself on dates..I do not like men to think that Iowe them anything after the date if they paid for a nice dinner..I never go for suppers with anyone on the first dates either...Coffee only....

I also do not know of many women who do more than coffee on the first date... | |

Posted: 7/24/2006 9:23:34 PM | Is it just me or are the lines between meeting someone and dating someone being blurred a little much here?
The thing is, is it a first "date" or a first meeting ya know.
I mean I don't consider meeting someone for the first time a date. Coffee is not much of a date if you wanted to call it one. Don't you think?
I say meet first for coffee and chat n' all that and figure out if you both want to have a "date". Then of course sky's the limit right :) | |

If you aren't going to bother to get to know someone before a "date" well just expect to have your wallet emptied eh. | |

Posted: 7/25/2006 11:01:16 AM | | Listen, if you ask a girl on a date and ready to pay for everything and is pissed at her because she had a meal on your expense, so that means that if she did not refuse you and accepted to have a relationship with you it would be acceptable. If I showed a steak to a wolf, it will eat the steak and then it will eat me, sorry to say this but you kind of asked for it. It does not take a brain to figure that one out. If it was sex you wanted you could get a pretty clean girl with no viruses for $100.00 and don’t have to count on getting lucky. | |

Posted: 7/28/2006 4:57:07 PM | | $150.00 is one heck of a dinner. might you try a buffet restaurant as a dinner date...I see nothing wrong with going out for dinner as a first date..but before hand there are many conversations on line or on the phone, first before one goes out on a dinner date....or for that matter even coffee .she should spend time getting to know you first before even agreeing to coffee | |

Posted: 8/10/2006 5:48:16 AM | | easy solution: don't agree to a dinner date again. insist on something less time consuming and costly. (also, in 2006 if a woman is able to propose the dinner date, she should also be able to fork out the $$ for dinner herself or at least just her half of it) | |

Posted: 2/22/2007 4:34:44 PM | | I agree with the above posts. Dinner does not have to cost 150.00. Have a meeting over coffee first and if y'all click have a date. But if you are in it to get lucky because you spent your money you need to go to another site. | |

Posted: 2/22/2007 4:47:00 PM | guys, you have to pay to play. They all may not work out, but dinner is a great setting for conversation. Forget the budget. This is dating. Dont be so bitter.
What would you want, for her to pay. Call me old fashion, but no way!!! | |

Posted: 4/3/2007 3:57:30 AM | | Good One..........I'm another that pays my own way. I don't think men should be putting out all kinds of money for a dinner not knowing how it will end up.....I see one right here that seems to live on meals Paid by men online.... Its a shame but MEN should limit their first dates to a COFFEE ONLY........Wonder how it would work if women were paying the bill?.... In General.........Don't need women jumping on me because I speak the truth....I work for my money and don't need to rely on men to feed me...But also its so true when men **** about paying when the women Have no intentions of anything more or The men agree on a dinner date and the woman they take are not at all what they expected ...*Ever see a starving woman try to eat 10 fries on a fork ramming it down her throat like it was her last meal* This was mentioned to me by a male friend after meeting a woman for the first time and said he was so embarrassed He couldn't leave the resto fast enough.....Guys.............Keep the first date for *COFFEE ONLY* | |

Posted: 4/4/2007 5:31:54 PM | Thats going overboard!!!Expensive indeed for a first meeting . Yes there are women out there who need and expect a man to spend alot of money on them(who use).But then there are alot of women out there(like myself) that don't like feeling ''paid for''.
Better to plan beforehand. | |

Posted: 5/29/2007 7:22:45 PM | You mean it was your first date and you forked out 150$, I guess you can afford it...
Coffee - is a safe bet... and, if she dumps you... or vice versa - no big deal...at least you wouldn't be feeling like a fool... oh little lessons in life...
However, even though the moment is gone now... when and if it ever happens again... and, they dump you after a meal ... tell her in this case .. lady pay your half of the bill...at that point pay your half and make your exit as fast as your legs can take you, run if you must before she starts to b*tch and/or leaves you holdiing the bag/bill! 
Remember, that you do not owe anybody dinner its a first date... its called *meet and greet* = coffee (and nothing else) keep it simple once, you hit it off and you are both are interested in each other then you can dine and wine or whatever else pops your clutch...you have my blessing. | |

Posted: 5/30/2007 6:47:38 PM | Most women I meet(not that I have met a lot here) go out of their way to pay on the first date.
Meeting somebody for the first time is usually so awkward that it turns out that way.
I think I may have asperger's or something. At least meeting new people makes me feel that way.
Like meeting a new lab partner in science class.
A. I never offer to pay ever.
B. I don't think women feel comfortable having me pay anyway.
Not until they know me pretty well.
C. I don't try to impress women in any way, shape or form. Especially not to take them to a restaurant I would probably only go to on a 10 year anniversery or something.
D. I don't want to give the person the impression that you are trying to buy sex or something like that by paying the way of a complete stranger.
The original poster on this thread spent 150 dollars, and the woman didn't even like him.
You could spend 150 on somebody guaranteed to like you. (not advocating at all here) | |

I guess i am a sucker! .. or just call me old fashioned..Not really sure!
I can not take a woman out and not pay.. I feel like it is my responsibility.
I can have a woman take me out and pay but a first date I always pay. | |
