Sometimes people genuinely don't feel a spark, you know.
Who's forcing you to go out for lobster on a first date anyway?
While non-spark is certainly true... way to make their rotten actions MY "issue" for being naive enough to be suckered. I'm just going to have to start dutching for first dates from now on... two in a row where they all but said aloud, if she's not going to be on a hot date with a sexy man, she might as well get fatty dork-boy to buy her a good dinner before she disappears. If you aren't feeling a spark, say so BEFORE ordering dinner on someone else's nickel (expensive or otherwise!)
I wouldn't start spending more than 30-40$ until I thought it was getting serious. I can't articulate why, but I feel it would almost be a bit of a faux pas to spend a lot of money if it's still in the casual, testing-the-waters phase. In fact, if she didn't seem too excited to go on the date to begin with, I probably would change my mind even if I was the one who initiated things. Easy come, easy go, and don't go all in up front.
