Spin off from another thread.

How much does a typical first Date Cost?

I fully realize that it doesn’t have to cost anything and generally creative dates are better anyway.

Ladies.. A Guy asks you out to dinner and you accept. What are your expectations?

Guys.. You ask someone out to dinner and they accept, how much do you think you will drop on the night? (Assuming you really like this girl and the evening is going well for both of you)

Depends on the girl.

I have spent $300 on some...$40 on others.
Depends on where it's going or where it could possibly go for that matter.
Depends on the girl, the area, the available places to go out to.
Some of the best ones were "Dutch" dates at their insistence.
Some I've cooked for.
Some were bike rides to a nice little Greek bakery for coffee and a walk.
Too many variables!
It all depends....:)

Key phrase- if you really like the girl.

usually no less than $100- that is if you find a common ground like going for a bike ride, hike, out sailing, or something and grab some eats/drinks along the way.

Dinner date can hit $500+ depending type of girl and type of impression i'm trying to make as well as type of entertainment required for the evening. For example: nosebleed baseball tix or the opera. That way you KNOW im into a girl if you catch me at the ballet or opera, though longevity is more realistic if we're at a ball game... a-can i gitta AMEN!

If I'm just trying to get laid i cut it off at $50... 2 for you, one for me... or have her buy.
So there I was...

I was thinking approximately $150 for the typical date that includes an activity, meal, and drinks.

When I was in the Marines I dated a pig farmers daughter who would cut coupons out of the phone book so we could go out. She was awesome until I found out she was cheating on her boyfriend with me.:S

When I was on Match.com, if I decided to accept someone's suggestion to meet, I liked to just stop at a restaurant bar on my way home from work after the "dinner hour". Just for 1 or 2 drinks, which for me is usually enought time to decide if there'll be a 2nd date. I don't remember the last time I went to dinner on a first date. Probably when I first met my ex-husband in 1992. :|

If the 2nd date involves a dinner invite and the guy asks you to pick the restaurant, I always go to my good 'ol favorite Italian restaurant which isn't upscale, a comfortable place with good food, good service and the prices are totally reasonable (No more than $15-20 pp for an entree) and you can BYOB.

I don't expect a dinner date to go on all night unless there's a lot of good, easy conversation going. And I don't mean all night that way, just a late talking get to know you late. There'll be no 1st date sex. LOL. There'll probably be no 1st date making out. Probably a cheek kiss good night and a thank you.

I guess I don't expect anything out of the ordinary. Be punctual, be courteous, be clean and hopefully smell good, and bring your happy face. :)

Always be kinder than you feel.

I don't expect the guy to spend much at all. My fave date thing is mini-golf and thats pretty cheap. As for dinner, i don't feel comfortable at super fancy places - a sports bar or maybe some local diner is the best.

:o:D:D

I NEVER leave my drink/food unattended and only get up to go to the ladies room when my drink is empty, then only order another when I have my eye on everything the bartenders is doing. ;)

Edited to add: And always get a clean glass. Don't let them refill the same one. Some of the date rape drugs are colorless/odorless/tasteless.
