How much is too much?

I forgot to post this. I just wanna see what everyone else thinks about this. I thought it was funny. lol

When I get together with my study group, sometimes we get away from what we're supposed to be doing, like talking about other topics.

Well, anyway, this guy in my group was complaining about his date he had last night. Apparently he said she ordered too much. I asked him what she ordered and he said she ordered an expensive glass of wine with her food. Of course at this point I was trying hard not to laugh, because he was so serious about it. I didn't see the big deal, but he said she could have at least been a little more conservative in her ordering on the 1st date.

My thoughts on the whole thing was I didn't see what the big deal was. I always at least offer to help pay, but I still think the guy should pay for the 1st date regardless. When you go out with a guy on the 1st date, do you order whatever you want or do you think you should order light since it is the 1st date?

And for the guys, does it really matter to you?

Considering I've seen wine that costs around $50/glass in some restaurants, I definitely think that you should play it safe on a first date, unless the guy orders a ridiculously expensive glass/bottle also. In which case, all bets are off.

I don't order the cheapest thing (unless it happens that's what I really want), but I don't order the most expensive thing, either.

As for him bitching about the wine, that's just silly...if he wanted to buy her Budwesiser he should have taken her to a bowling alley or something. I'm not much of a wine drinker, so I really can't speak to that issue.

I do that too. Of course since I haven't actually been on a date in forever, this is all just a moo point.

I didn't ask where he took her, but based on what he told me the cost was, I'm sure it was an expensive place to dine. For me, it doesn't matter where the guy takes me, just as long as we're having fun. I don't drink wine, but I would order what I was hungry for, and I would offer to help pay, but if he insisted on paying, then what's there to complain about? I totally think he brought it on himself.

It might depend on what happened later. Maybe its not going anywhere, maybe he thought her attitude was bad. Maybe he expected more physical contact on the first date . . especially if it was a $50 glass of wine.

lol, no I don't think it was a $50.00 glass of wine. He just said it was expensive. I should have gotten more details. He said he still likes her but now he thinks she's high maintenance.

This is what I hate about guys. They spend money on a date and then they expect to get in her pants later, and if they don't, then they call her high maintenance.

He should have taken her to Micky D's, bought her a happy meal, and called it day. He's happy and her stomach is full.

You know you are wrong for that... But it's all cool...



To the OP:

Dude shoulda taken homegirl to Applebee's or TGI Fridays if he wasn't trying to spend $50 on a glass of wine. Girl may be from France and doesn't understand the American dating rituals.

Hayle, when I was young, I didn't order expensive items. I dated dudes who could afford high priced stuff. I ain't sayin' I was a gold digger... But I dayum sho didn't mess around with no broke...

If I'm not mistaken...wine is still on the menu at Chuck E. Cheese. Perhaps he ought to take her there next time. But then maybe she'll ask for too many tokens or something else...
