Sadly for my incom coffee isn’t inexpensive. Fro two drinks it’d be $10-15 that’s 10% of my monthly funds. And I don’t like coffee and women refused to meet me at a drive/Ali up coffee place that serves stuff other then coffee, either cause they find it cheap or one woman didn’t feel safe. They want to meet at Starbucks which is more expensive then my listed price above and only has coffee.

I honestly feel unless I can get a real job paying $25 and hour or more it’s hopeless for me and being disabled thst will never happen.

Hmmm.

Really?
Are you serious?

Pet,
I did mention I think "Open Relationships" are pretty nifty.
And don't you already have a partner?
Have I ever suggested you should dump him for me?

Aren't two bods better than one?
And because I am so god darn ugly,
I will try harder to impress you, bigtime.
Where is the downside for you? :scratch:

In my personal experience, the price of a real date (not with a prostitute) can vary from about $10 per person at a fast-food restaurant to well over $500 per person for a full weekend getaway. My dates with my wife are somewhere in the $100 per person range.

Don’t expect second date if you take them to fast food. Is what I’ve always been told. Guy I know spent $500 on a first date.

That may have been what you have been told, but that is not always how it works (e.g., she wanted only a burger, fries, and a drink on the first date; so that's what she got. Next date, we went to the steakhouse). Any guy who would spend $500 on a date is either very rich, very generous, or very much expecting a little 'action' in return.

What guy wouldn't? :scratch:

$15 for about 60 dates.

So 25¢ per date.

Bon appétit.

I'll put it straight:
If someone took me to an expensive fancy dinner for a first date, I would read it as he expects sex on the first date - by my default concept of reciprocity in relationships. Then, I wouldn't accept.
If someone invited me for a walk and maybe offer a lemonade and a pretzel from a stall we pass, I would read it as a comfortable getting to know each other.
Of course, the success rate would still be low, come on, we're just getting to know each other and finding out if we're comfortable with each other.

But please,
Leave your husband and kids at home, when we go out on our first date, with Isabella. :mrgreen:

Some of the women here may find this mean, but a real man offers to pay for meals on a date. It sounds sexist, maybe it's rooted in there somewhere, but overall in my experience a man who offers to pay for a date treats me and other women better than the ones who didn't mind me paying. I've always found the ones who didn't want to pay were either not interested, or did not respect me. A man truly interested wants to impress you, they want to be the one who makes you happy. They go out of their way for it. That is the point.

With a sense of humor and sauerkraut? Sure!

Edit: Sly, sauerkraut is not the key ingredient here.

On a serious note:

EVERY man (and whoever denies this, is a liar or in denial) dating women has this fear that if he doesn't pay for the first date or if he suggests going dutch, or even if he doesn't insist on paying when she suggests to go dutch, that he may leave a bad impression and idea like how smudge expressed it.

That's why so many men insist to pay all, even when the woman offers to pay half: it's the fear to be judged.
