Ladies, why do you expect a $200 dinner for a first date?

There’s no point having an expensive first date. I remember a specific scenario when a girl went on a dinner date with a guy and then came to my place right after

I can usually tell within 5 to 10 minutes whether she’s worth my time so imagine spending a lot and she sucks.

There’s nothing a dinner will do to improve your chances of success that drinks, coffee or an activity also won’t do - in fact, there’s more room for error

In the future, propose a location rather than ask.

I mean you asked her where she likes to go...

You put the ball in her court and then when she told you, you wanted to switch up.

You shouldn't have asked her. You should have told her where you wanted to take her.
Men are leaders by default. We’re the ones that supposed to make the decisions.

As soon as the man acts submissive to the woman, she loses attraction for him

Dinner dates as a first date is a walking lick. Unless the woman earned it, no dude should be taking random chicks from app an all to a restaurant that charges $60 for some Mac and cheese

I got this chicks number off hinge, never met her don't even know her last name. She tells me she's free tomorrow at 7 and she really likes this Italian place. So I google the place and look at the menu. It's $60 for a mac and cheese entree, yea I bet your ass likes this place. I told her lets just meet up for apps and drinks for the first date. if everything goes well we have plenty of time to get fancy. She left me on read and then unmatched me.

Now she is a nurse so maybe she is used to spending her own money. But where does she get the audacity to ask this of a man for a first date? Does this mean other guys have done it? Was she testing me? I didn't even want to meet up with her after that to be honest.

I wanna know why yall think you are entitled to this on the first date? I wasn't gonna take her to applebees but I am also not spending $200 plus drinks on a bytch I don't even know her last name.

Personally, I am an activity date (and daytime date) kinda woman and that usually costs less than $200. We do something fun and if I like them then we can get something to eat afterwards. I also personally wouldn’t spend $200 on a stranger and wouldn’t expect a stranger to spend that on me, maybe after the 3rd date or so, definitely not the first.

You should work on your communication/social skills. You can’t be too straightforward with certain people like that. You should’ve just suggested a different Italian restaurant in your price range or say “how about we do something fun instead like (insert activity here)”.

You two were likely not compatible anyways, so just move on. There are plenty of other women who prefer low cost easy to leave first meetings with strangers they meet online, I’ve seen lots of them on lsa (they call them coffee date girls) and the non coffe date girls try to bash them, but it makes sense to me if it’s a stranger.

Thoughtful, reasonable women all get perjorative labels. We may be doomed:snoop:
