How much is too much?

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.

That's not true with every dude. A lot of women like to choose trifling jokers like this. Of course if you keep accepting high class gifts or any gift from him for that matter, eventually he's going to want something in return. Like James said, maybe he wanted a kiss, a hug or whatever. I know for me, if I'm taking her out to an expensive restaurant, believe me, I'm not doing it for free. Hell, I can get to know her at Subway, but I do want something in return. No, of course I'm not saying I want to see the girl with her panties around her ankles after the 1st date, those kind of women are hoes, and I don't date hoes. I at least want a hint rather it be through a kiss or a hug, that she's interested in a 2nd date to something long term. I disagree with you here.

Exactly!

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.

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...

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...

cheerfulgreek · #14 12-17-2007, 04:01 AM

lol, I'm really not sure how much the wine was. He was just complaining about the cost. I am laughing SO. HARD. at the broke guy comment. lol

While that may sound funny, I was serious as a heart attack when I posted that. No, I'm not broke, but then again, I'm not wealthy either. I refuse to take a woman (that I want for more than a friend) who I don't know very well to an expensive classy restaurant. Call me cheap if you want to, but my reason for this is because I used to go high class with every date I would go on everytime, and then come to find out that I was going out with sack chasing gold diggin' hoes. Money was never the issue, and it still isn't. It's the woman. If she can hang with me after a few dates of dining at the cheapo "abnorm", then that tells me she enjoys my company and likes "me" not the fancy places I take her. Believe me, once I've been with her for awhile, then we'll go anywhere she wants to. (High class) As long as I can afford it, we'll go. Also if money ever gets tight and we have to start dining "down" again, then she won't get upset, because these are the places we started going in the 1st place.

My ex (who I always went high class on) was a low down, lying, sack chasing, gold diggin,' fake cheat. I avoid women like her at all costs. I can see them coming a mile away. Now, I only get involved with the opposite of what she was.
