fellas, how much do you budget for on a first date? personally I tend to not go over $50.

ladies, do you expect for the man to pay for everything on a first date or do you pay half?

I think if you go all out on the first date, she is going to expect that kind of spending from you all the time. My wife has cost me a lot of money because of this.

yup. I try to keep it cheap for that reason and also because a lot of these broads date dudes just for a free meal. i like to keep the first date generic.

Before I met her I was the same way, usually something like putt putt and dinner. Rarely went over the 50 dollar mark. Didn't have alot to spend anyway. With my wife, I kinda had a feeling about her and went all out, and it worked. That was 15 years ago this December.

if you can hold her attention with a great conversation, mix in a charismatic personality and a dash of good lucks, you can take her to the park on the first date and she wouldn't even care.

step ya game up.

what's there to play by ear? how much money does one need to spend on the first date?

you don't have to spend a large amount of currency just because things are going good. like I said, you can spend $20 and give her the best date she ever had. $50 is my limit on 1st dates, if you guys are spending hundreds of dollars on a girl you don't know that well then by all means, go ahead and do that.

lolsmh...bruh I plan out my dates in advance so I don't have to worry about if I'm over my limit. some first dates I've gone bowling and out for ice cream afterwards, some just the movies, other's have been dinner. It's the first date, the emphasis is on getting to know each other not trying to impress her by spending money. if we make a connection then we're on to bigger and better dates.

For me, it goes with how well I mesh with the chick. About the movie element--I'd wait until a later date to propose a movie. I mean, you can still get at least a good portion of dialogue prior and post movie, it is kind've awkward to be watching, say, Ted with someone you barely know. Anyhow, if the girl and I are getting along well, I won't cap out the spending. If it isn't she gets the Sizzler.

Meet them for drinks at a bar that is not too loud so you can actually have a conversation. Don't meet up on a Friday or Saturday night. No matter how well it's going, end it after two hours max. Don't drink more than two drinks, switch to water after that. Be ready and willing to pick up the tab if they don't offer to split it. Your bill shouldn't be more than $20-30.

word.

yea the movie date can be awkward if you and the girl haven't talked on the phone much prior to the date. say you meet her on a Friday and talk/text her every day until the next weekend when you're both free again, it wont be that awkward because you've gotten to know each other during that week.

do you think cooking her dinner at your place is too forward on the first date?

I would guage the woman and how she is around you. If she is that shy, kinda cautious type, I wouldn't cook her dinner at my place first. I would put her at ease and have her meet me at a restaurant. If she is a bit more outgoing and/or more likely to be open to such an idea (and you think it is worth your effort...if she is an 8-10...etc...etc). Then I say go for it--My personal rule is that I don't like to have that high level of effort on the first date. Unless it's going to be a one-night stand, I also don't like to have them know where I reside. Never know when someone may try and cook my pet rabbit.

Agree with the above.

I've cooked for a couple chicks at their request. Those are the ones I either ended up in a relationship with or dated for a while. I tend not to put the press on those women and just let things flow.

The first thing I do is ask them if they have a naked picture of theirself that I can look at. Then if they looked shocked, I quickly laugh and say, "just kidding".

If they laugh back, then they have a decent sense of humor and enough to proceed on.

If they don't laugh back, it's probably over.

If they give me a pic, then she's a ho and good for a one night stand.

Very good way of testing a girl...

I had one actually show me a provacative pic and turned out to be a prude that it took me nearly a month to finally get the goods. I guess, though, it worked because I ended up dating her for a year or so.

but they're not bad and they don't play Nelly all night:lol most dj's have a section of their set that is specifically for boothy shaking music(like tip drill, uncle luke, etc)

I don't think I have had a first date that cost me less than $50 for at least 10 years. I know there are ways of doing it, but for me, it would take more time thinking about it than just paying what ever the cost becomes. My preference for a first date is an above average restaurant that serves beer and wine. The meal alone will already be at least $25 for two for the lesser choices, but I rarely take the lesser choices or expect my date to. Then drinks and tip, maybe desert...

I seem to only pay less than $50 when I already know someone well. We'll be out, and just want something fast or convenient, or watch a movie or something.

I spent some time thinking about my first dates over the last several years. I think the most I spent was just over $80, and the least was just under $60.

I pick a place that is within the price range I am willing to spend, but I never think about the costs as they occur.

smh@ the bolded. almost skipped over this, WC. you get the girl drunk on the first date? if not drunk, why are you drinking alcohol with a girl and driving? I hope you are smart enough not to have the young lady in your van when you've had liqour in your system.

If its the first date, you shouldn't be drinking if you're picking her up.

When she calls out a number, you put a dime bag of weed on the vag of the girl with that same number. Then when there is 5 in a row, you shout "bingo".
