How much is too much?

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.

Exactly! IMO dude somewhat asked for it. He took her to an expensive place and she ordered something expensive. Seems logical to me. Besides why would you pull out all the stops on a 1st date? you are setting the bar extremely high for yourself when you do 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.

Yup!
