******* Favorite Restaurants for the First Date? ********

If the date doesn't go well and I'm sure that I don't want to see the guy again, I would feel bad to let him pay. I would insist on going dutch in that case.
(Unless he behaves like an asshole, then I wouldn't feel bad to make him pay for my company LOL)
But that's just me, guess other women are different.

 

Honestly this is why I like to keep it real casual in the beginning. I'd feel horrible with him spending that kind of money and we didn't really click.

Agreed.

 

If a woman has a problem with going dutch period, I'mma play it all cool, excuse myself to the bathroom and exit stage left. :smt036

BALLING!!!!!
Damn kid

 

it was good and well worth it.

na, its called knowing how to save and spending my money on memories not video games.

 

Light skin just pulled my card big time lol

 

I guess I'm a cheap date then. I eat a little something before going out in case there's a wait (nothing sets a good first impression like passing out due to low blood sugars, ya know?), I don't need an appetizer, I choose a mid-priced entree (something more filling than a salad) and dessert is usually a pass (unless we agree to share something). And I don't drink alchohol or coffee. Oh, and I usually offer to lay the tip.

And I typically know after one date (max 2) whether the guy is going to be a romantic interest or a friend only.

 

But I thought that was the best way to set a good impression!

 

Winning.

 

Not when that bill comes and he has to pay lol

 

I bet you all 3 of them chicks got a Baja blast after the date which made it worth every penny.

 

Dating is always going to be a gamble and that's why it sucks. First date is also first impression date. If the first impression that you want to make is picking the girl up in a dirty car blasting Flocka, wearing wrinkled clothes, unkempt hair and dinner at a cheap restaurant. Then don't be surprised that she stops responding to your calls and texts the next day.

Many women these days are so used to shit ass dates that it only takes a little effort a little money and a bit of creativity to have a good date.

As far as restaurants, it depends on the girl and what I know about her likes / dislikes. Some women prefer smaller local places that have 'character', some prefer big fancy restaurants, some just want to have a bottle of wine, some prefer a glass of wine on the beach.

 

Isn't it Taco Bell? Hell, I can eat there for $2, and that's lunch AND a drink lol.

All 4 of them probably ate for $15. Well worth it for that kid, I'm sure

 

they look happy and as if they are enjoying their time out... that s priceless no matter how much the bill was. my 2 cents...

My favorite spot to get breakfast with friends and playmates. The food is absolutely phenomenal!! I always get the rooster special with a double of scotch and light beer.

 

A good tapas restaurant. The small portions give you a chance to try and share a bunch of different plates and keeps the conversation lively and moving.

 

What do you prefer, Tam?
