First Date

Crazy talk. You are telling me every date you've taken girls on you've paid for everything? How would you know if she's along for the company or the free food and drinks?

When you first start dating, yeah, the guy is supposed to pay for everything.., and after your married too..

(unless the girl nicely offers..)
Thats just my opinion..

I would never, ever be with a man that "expected" me to pay for a date...

If my Mr. Next suggested a movie on a first date, I would have to reply, "What movie do you think you would most enjoy watching while I talk through the entire film?"

I get frustrated on movie dates because I want to talk and ask questions. Dog-walking is a GREAT idea because you can see how he is with dogs and possible kids the dog attracts. Also, you can make him jealous by lavishing pets and attention on the dog. He will be praying he dies and gets re-incarnated as your devoted pet.

Men are attracted to confidence. They like to hunt and chase. Don't worry about what he thinks about you because he will only be worried about what you think of him. He wants to win your approval in any case.

Most importantly, have fun. Always remember, if it's fun, you shouldn't be doing it.

If you ask the girl out you should pay, sure. But when you are on date #75 and approaching your one year anniversary I don't think the man should be expected to pay for everything you do. I don't even know what kind of woman would expect that. Not one I'd keep around for long.

Has anybody hears from the Aussie Girl since that "first date" night?

This isn't right...someone go find her, check on her.


Spook...who would never ask a lady on a date to pay for anything.

Yes, we should have an update by now. Clearly, she should have taken us all along with her.

LOL.. thats not me! But if a guy asks you out... then i think he should pay. So..

Plus it doesnt matter anyways, once your married the paychecks are all split up for bills..

Well, no, of course not. Once you are in a commited/LONG-TERM relationship...its different. Usually you both check to see what money you both have for that week and decide on what to spend it on from there.. (dinner, movies, buy something together..)
I'm talking about in the beginning stages... sooo many DUMB women fall for that "you pay for your meal and i'll pay for my meal" crap...
Those guys are usually no good, and cheap, and not usually good providers for a family, in the long run.., IMO
So why would a girl even waste her time with one of them...

Not that this helps find the Aussie Girl...

But if I invite you...request your presence...then it is on my
nickle. If we ask another couple if they want to go out to
dinner, it's on us...we have asked them to go as our guest.

If we allow to daughter to invite a friend to go somewhere/do
something...the burden of cost in on us.

That does not hold true for such as a trip to the mall though.
While I will furnish transportation and meals, if they wish to buy
something, that is their expense.
