It all depends on where you're going.
On my first date we went miniature golfing and bowling. Then we went to an ice cream parlor and had some ice cream and then on to a coffee shop.
There's lots you can do without having to spend much and still have an enjoyable time.

iamsimply: I've had many meetings with women over the summer, sometimes two a day! I spend between $2 and $20+ at each meeting on the woman. You know coffee, maybe wine and a light snack! Travel costs with the price of gas also raise the expenses! Is that reasonable, should I put out more to impress them? Do you limit your costs?
I have a meeting with a beautiful redhead with a gorgeous figure on Sunday. I'm meeting her at The Keg, it's a family style restaurant and bar with a nice patio! I'm wondering what other guys do as far as trying to put forth a good impression and on the other hand, from a woman's perspective, is there one or two things I might do to impress. Maybe bring a gift or is it too early in the process?

I think stop going at it like a day's work and relax a little. Trying to impress is seen as just that. Women aren't stupid. Spend what is necessary and don't make a big deal out of it. It's only money.

I would just be yourself, you seem very kind with a big heart. Let the flow go and order what you and her wants. Just relax and by bringing a gift I feel that's coming on too strong. Gifts are great on 2nd dates.thehee

well I am not sure how to answer it but will give you an example of what I did a few times, I am a Traveller and when a Lady invites me to her country well thats hard to resist, so I flashed to SE Asia once, Total $2800 Dollars, Spent hardly anything when there she would not let me pay.....
Had an American Girl chase me around and I might of spent 20 30 bucks for some food and drove to the Beach thats Kool I think,
I don't go out of my way anymore to buy women flowers etc... unless there is something there for sure...

KISS, Keep It Simple St-----, that will keep away the gold diggers and bring in the good ol' gals. Besides, on one of my first dates we went to a coffee shoppe, spent 3.50, had an okay conversation, then went home. Easy peasy.

I'm with most of the above.
No need to spend too much, simple is best,
if you hit it off you'll know it is for you and
not the cash you can flash.
No present, not for several dates.
good luck.

You seem to have everything figured in including your transpertation, Are you looking for someone to have a relationship with or a busness venture?
How can anyone put a price on a first date? Lets say 50. dollars you plan to go to the movies that should allow you drink and popcorn. But wait you really hit it off you want to see her again, maybe you should take her for coffee or a late dinner after the movie? Nope your budget is spent move on to the next date.
To tell you the truth putting a value or price on a date really makes a girl feel cheap!
I can tell you that I have someone who is comming here to meet me for the first time and I can assure you he is spending a lot more then $20 just to get here. He is traveling from Scotland to the US. But after reading your post I apreciate that he feels somethings just can't have a price put to it.
I will tell you this though if you stop budgeting your dates you might not have to have many more first dates, you might get to move on to a second or third date. who knows it might even go so far that you could save a bundle and she might even come to you.

I'm not willing to spend any...

To really make a date stick around these parts, you have to cough up a new Lexus. But it works really well...
I'm not as jaded as I sound. I swear.

Dear Iamsimply,
At the rate of 2 dates a day I was trying to do the math...appprox $4-$40/day
you could easily spend $20-$200/wk....I think more than several home cook meals could have worked out cheaper...lol
Besides that you have got to be one popular guy in town.
Well, a cup of coffee/tea if you feel you can't afford it....Make sure you are not taken in by appearance because some of those hair pieces are not real, and as for figure, any woman going to the gymn can look just as good. Save your gifts til later, when you actually get to know the person!

How much money do you spend when MEETING for the first time?
It completely depends (for me).. on who why and where..
I've spent a £50 ($100) .. but I've met people abroad before.. for 'dates' where I have spent considerably more.

I might be having another date, fly in to see me. Might cost me, this time...
BUT
, it won't be our first date together.

I guess I never really think about the costs all that much. I try to get a decent read on what the person might like to do. If it takes lots of money to impress, then I'm probably barking up the wrong tree anyway.
In my last relationship, our first meeting was at, get this, an IN & OUT Burger (always found that naming protocol unfortunate). It was her suggestion, because we both knew where it was. It also said a lot about her I suppose. It went very, very well, to say the least.
