My first date with my beau is a dinner date then we went out for a drink and music. Not too fancy but the best. (He spend for me and gave me surprise romantic gifts.) And oh, I didn't expect that much on our first date. <*-*>

The focus for the first date for me is not the big production number. If this is the woman of my dreams I'm going to be excited at the possibilities that my dream comes true (by the way, what was this dream about?) I'm not going to bargain hunt for the first date setting with the buy one get one free buffet coupon. I have an agenda on this date. I want to know if this is girl is the girl of my dreams or a nightmare I might never wake from.
I asked her out, I'm glad for the chance to spend time with her, I'm going to pay for whatever with no hesitation. If she's out of control and orders three deserts and nine piña coladas well . . that may need some further consideration.
By the end of the date I want her to know she wants a second date. Now the fourth date means your name is on the list. If you want to move your name to the top or become the only name on the list that's the time to get as creative as you can imagine. Pull out all the stops and get serious. Bring on the poetry, flowers and parades.

If it is the first date with the girl, you will spend whatever it takes to have an enjoyable night. It could be expensive, it could be affordable, but the most important thing in the first date is that you leave a very good impression with your date. It doesn't matter how much you spend on that first date, what matters is that you both enjoyed each others company. For me, I would just keep it easy, save the most expensive things for a very special occasion.

The sky is definately *not* the limit on the first date. That comes later when the couple is exclusive and in love.
A first date is like an interview. Get to know each other. Dinner and a walk in the park or on the beach or something.

I would like to say the ideal answer and tell you that I would not spend much on a first date.
But knowing my true self, If I think I have found a girl that's worth it, I'd spend a lot on our first meal together.
I would take her to a really classy dining place... BUT right after dinner I'd show her to a cheap means of entertainment like a free concert or just eat ice cream and watch people walk by. That would balance the act, I think.
I would want her to think of me as a guy with class, but one who is not preoccupied with flash.

Maybe we'll watch a concert, then go to a decent restaurant. Nothing overboard, I'm el cheapo when it comes to first dates.

it depends who asked for a date,if its the guy then i expected him to pay the bill.dating is not about money its about getting to know the person.if i like the guy a mcdo date is perfect because im more interested to talk to him and know him better than how much money he can afford just for show off.

it depends on the guy. if he can go todo-todo, why not? if he really cant afford but i would want to give him a chance and see if he's a sweet nice guy, i'll go cheapo (but not jologs)
it really doesn't matter. as long as i enjoy the date and we get to know each other better.

i wouldn't go overboard, but i would be willing to pick up expences for say wherever the date was happening, be it a nice restaurant or a movie and coffee. if it was to be a sightseeing date or whatever.. i would pick up the tab. yes.
the main reason for a first date, would be to get to know each other, so no... i would not go overboard.. if say we got to the third or forth date, yeah maybe. i'd want to make sure she was the girl for me before i waste my money on her.

If it takes money to impress a girl, she is totally not worth it
As a traditionalist gentleman, I will pay the basics of a first real date. But you and I both know that women these days are not traditional ladies... the modern feminist attitude would dictate that I let her pay half. In fact, some women are all about using men for whatever reason.
If its not a real first date... or it is a second or third date... I think she should feel obligated to pitch in a little money for expenses... perhaps she can pay for one event and I will pay for another - doesnt have to be a 50/50 split. Especially if she is a modern woman with her own pay check
Women arent impressed when you kiss their asss. And women arent impressed, either, if youre cheap and callous. You need to be in between... show interest and show her a good time - because you want to -, without being in such a position as to feel like its your job or that youre going to get something from her that night.
There is no point wasting cash on a girl that isnt interested and isnt up for a second date, when she is fully capable of paying. Otherwise, you just got used
I dont know about those women that give me a thumb down... but I actually believe in dating for more than just sex... and I am not about being used by women who dont care. I know that kind of undermines some of your values and chances with me... but I dont give a crapp
Any woman who honestly believes that its the mans job to pay, but also claims they believe in "equality"... any woman who just wants to take advantage of a guy... is a piece of crap and isnt worth a single minute of my time or cent from my pocketbook.

I would treat her with respect. I would do everything you are suppose to do on a first date. But...do not go "overboard', as you will seem like a "pushover', and everyone knows...no one respects a pushover. This is the best advise for you. Please listen!
