Well a I heard this on talk show, I think it was Dr. Phil or Oprah, I can't remember.
Qoute: "The guy wants the girl more than the girl wants the guy"
So if he wants to keep her, he better impress her, I guess.tongue2 tongue2 tongue2

No offence honey...Dr.Phil has been divorced. I haven't. Screw Dr. Phil.

This ain't the 1800's. Sure, there are times when a man wants the woman more, but, there are plenty of times that the woman is the one slobbering like a dog looking at a hunk of steaming hot meat.

Unfortunately, this is the era of equality and a hard economy. As far as I am concerned....we both pitch in. Money, chores, sex....no one rides for free and the man AND the woman earn the spot in thier relationship.

For me, if you ain't coming at me as an equal, then the second date has zero chance of success.

why do some,
most,
females assume the male is or has to pay?
it's so weird.
what do they owe you?
is it part of the whole courting thing?
i don't get it.
is it weird that i don't ever let a guy pay for me?
meh.
perhaps i'm just odd.

I don't know about you, but paying for a date to impress me isn't going to work.

Yeah I do find that a little odd.
I usually ask my dates to sneak in
a nice cold six pack.

Dates?
How many does it take to carry a 6-pack?

What's wrong with saving money, there's not much of it around these days. Think yourself lucky that you even got a drink.


Save money later when you get married and have a budget. But if you are going to ask a lady out, make sure you have saved up $100 to spend. It's just courteous. Movies are totally expensive nowdays. i get it. But at least offer to take her to chinese food before the movie or go to dinner. Asking to sneak in sandwiches is rude, for one thing, how did he even know what kind of sandwich she wanted. What if he bought her roast beef. I hate roast beef sandwiches. Going to the movies on a date is already a bummer, cuz you dont get to talk too much. If you are, then it is a good idea to go to dinner or dessert before or after, so you at least get a chance to talk to one another.

He made sure you were fed and watered. I think that deserves some credit.

I can't decide if the guy is just a cheapskate, of if he is struggling financially and had little other option.

Maybe he should just have cancelled if he couldn't afford to meet your standards. The money he did spend was obviously a waste.

I don't know the full story, so it is hard to judge. If the OP doesn't know the full story either, she should maybe give the guy a break.


Fed and watered, She is not a horse.

He shouldnt ask her out if he cant afford to go. By the way, did he take you to the 3 dollar theater??? laugh laugh noway noway

You have a set amount your date is supposed to spend on you? laugh

I agree that movies are bad for dates in the beginning, though.

I am even cheaper. I like museums and art galleries. They don't even have snacks. (Well, the art galleries do offer free wine, beer and hors devours.)

I just get used movies cause if I am gonna spend time getting to know someone...I would rather actually talk to her or make out with her like a teenager.

But, don't get me wrong....for a first date I do my best to impress. Wash and vaccuum the car. Gnaw my toenails. Bathe. I take a woman out and have been known to blow way too much money on a good date. Often for nothing. Still, I was raised by a disco pimp daddy so I was taught old school that a lady should be treated like a LADY. (Tom Jones or Barry White style)

The point of a date is to make an impression.

I understand your point more than you may realize Cara. You have raised four kids,and supported yourself and are approaching retirment. You have paid your dues woman. You do NOT have to settle for less at this point in your life.

Stick to your standards and stick to your guns honey! So, it was a lame date. Sing it out girl...."NEXT!!!!"

(ps...I can't afford you )

:)


A museum on freebie day when snacks aren't even an issue? AWESOME! With you, Krupa? AMAZING!

Freebie day? In DC, almost all of the museums are free! They are great for dates, too.

I used to take my kids down to the mall with a picnic lunch...
Rockin' the Orange Line for about $1.20! (Today it would be the green line!)

I would have told him to put the sandwiches back in his car, and paid for my own drink and snacks....(and sat in a complete different row, probably.laugh ) But if I wanted to get to know him or talk to him afterwards, I would suggest to have the sandwiches in a park to talk about the movie and other things.

Nice! The mall is awesome for people watching, too.

I just went to the zoo the other day. Free as well! That's one thing I like about DC.. there's so much awesome stuff that's free.
