How much is too much?

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...

lol lol lol I totally forgot about that. They do have wine as Chuck E. Cheese. He and I have class together, and I won't see him until next semester, but I'll mention it to him when I do.

I'll only go out with a guy if I'm at 1st physically attracted to him, but if during the date, I start to see that he's not my type, then I'll insist that we go dutch. He can pay for his, and I'll pay for mine.

I once went out with a guy and this very thing happened. He tried to insist on paying, but I told him no, that I would pay for my own meal, because I didn't want him to get the wrong impression. I told him I didn't see a romantic connection here. When I told him that, I could see he was disappointed, and then he stopped insisting on paying. He paid for his meal and I paid for mine. That was the last time I heard from him.

If I really like a guy, then I'll let him pay. I just think it's so not cool to accept a free meal or free gifts from someone you don't even like.

Expensive is all relative. Some people think $6 - $8 for a glass of wine is expensive. In most restaurants, that is the cheapest glass of wine. As one of the posters have said, the glass could be $50, which IS expensive in my book.

When I was in college, we would get a "bucket" of beer for $5 at a campus bar. A bucket is typically what? Maybe 2 gallons. What do you pay now for a bottle of beer in a restaurant? At least that.

If the guy is in college his idea of expensive could be for a glass of Boone's Farm, Thunderbird or MD 20/20 (aka Mad-Dog).

What's in your wallet?

I can't remember paying less than that. Usually a bottle will cover 3 glasses, and there is a better selection.

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...

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.
