In the bad climate that we have at the moment..

When dating a girl how cheap is too cheap????...

Should you still pay for dinner and drinks? or should it be spilt the bill??...

Should you arrive with flowers and a bottle of wine for her or are they a luxury she can do without??....

And the rest any good ideas to date a girl on the cheap but not to seem like a cheap skate... tongue tongue

Its hard to know, i think, what he might consider enough spent, might not be enough as far as she is concerned, then again it might, but its hard to know. wave

well..if a girl is only impressed or interested by how much money i can spend on her, i wouldnt want to spend any time with her..

for me a good date is not wooing her with a fancy resturant or expensive stuff, but spening time with her, and listening to her and getting to know her.. i dont know about everyone else, but i can never relax properly in a fancy resturant or stuff like that.. i'm more of a quiet coffee shop, with comfy seats and all day to talk and watch the world go by.. costs very little but shows her the real you and not the size of your wallet..

Well I prefer to pay my own way...but sometimes it just doesnt happen like that if you date a gentleman who insists on paying.....Ive also dated men where Ive been out of pocket on one or two occasions and thats a big turnoff for me ..... I hate stingy men laugh

I would love to be taken out and treated to a nice meal or a few drinks. I would not expect it though.

I don't think its always a case of only wanting someone who can afford to spend loads on us.

My ex could well afford to treat me, yet when I could convince him to go out, even to family wedding/birthday/funeral etc, if I wanted a drink or food or anything at all..I had to give him the money in advance. I had to make it look like he was paying..but he never ever paid for anything out of his own money.

So for me it would be lovely to think that someone would consider me worth treating to a night out.

It's nice to pay for a woman when you are out together, it is also nice when she buys a drink or contributes in some way. It shows that she appreciates what you have done and is not making it a big deal either way.

If I saw someone regularly I would be surprised if they didn't offer to pay occasionally but unless they were rich I would expect to be the main payer.

Views? dunno

On a first date I always insist on paying my share. If there are further dates it's usually a case of taking turns. For occasions like birthdays and such it's nice to be spoilt and to spoil.....
