Dating is Expensive!!

don't put the pussy on a pedestal and pay for EVERYTHING.

B@

Isn't that what all women want, equal rights or something?

OP, perhaps try taking a feminist out for a meal?

Personally, my first date cost £25 dinner, £20 movie/popcorn and £0 under the starlight walk for 2 of us. I remember she offered to pay for the cinema tickets as I got dinner. 7 years on, and she's still here.
 
I too forgot how expensive dating is. Even three months in and date night out, or cooking special meals for two still shocks me. (any place to get decent reasonably priced chicken breasts? :P)
And both liking finer restaurants, and still cheap to some, at £90 a meal for the two of us it can get crazy!

Atleast now we're settling in, and doing "everyday" things togeather, ie "I need to go place X want to come too?"
 
OP is doing it so wrong imo. I never have understood why men take women out to meals who they've only just met or want to sleep with.

Next time leave your wallet at home and see if you can get creative with your next date instead of falling into the same trap over and over.

Yeah just drive and take her into the woods instead?

You can't complain if you're deliberately choosing to go to "finer" restaurants, come on! Plenty of ways to eat an awesome dinner <£90, be creative about it.
 
Tell your date you want to go for a meal with them. When it comes to payment time, warmly state that you will only being for what you've consumed. Then run.
 
Why would you take a girl you've just met for a meal and pay that much?

You are a sucker op.

At most all you need to do is find a bar and go for a drink for first date and at most buy her a drink and talk. You can have a date in a bus shelter for Christ sake... all that matters is you having 1 on 1 time with her and bringing your A game.

If you pay like that you are getting fleeced big time bro.

Dating is fun, but sure as hell expensive.

The good ones will offer to pay beyond date 1, even if you decline and pay yourself atleast the intent was there.
 
The one time I let a bird pay for something (couple hot chocolates) the bloke serving us made the typical quirky 'Oh get rid of him love if he's making you pay' - Brilliant, cheers mate. Not awkward or anything.

This is odd, I've never experienced this before. In the five years I've been with my girlfriend, and the umpteen times that she has paid for drinks or meals, never has a comment been made like this. And rightly so.

My best guess is that he knew you were on a first date, fancied the girl and wanted to play the alpha male by making a snarky comment like that.
 
I'd fully expect to pay half from date one really. If things go well after a few dates I might suggest that I'd pay this time and they could pay next time to save to faff of splitting the cost.

I have, however, learnt from this thread that if I do decide to go on a dating site that it had better be a paid one or else it means I'm not really taking it seriously ;) Though to be fair, thinking about it, I guess it should hopefully mean the same applies to the guys too. Hopefully there are more genuine guys on the paid sites too!

That's rubbish... Going on paid sites just means you're desperate and gullable.. there are plenty of normal women/girls on free sites as well.;)

Now I can't tell if you are calling me desperate, gullible or normal :p Ach no, I fell for the bait, gullible it is! :o:D I'm also way past being able to call myself a girl!
 
My last date cost me a pint of beer, lager and a walk along the rivers edge.. Still going strong after 3 yrs.

Internet dating does work...... and it also fails, you take the rough with the smooth.
