Ordering high end on the first date. Is it rude or is it just me?

Just sayin.'

I am a certified mixologist. No they don't.

And this isn't about "if you can't afford a place, don't take a date there." It's about not looking like a greedy gold digger on the first date. I never doubt that the guy can afford a place if he takes me there - it's about his perception of me. It's in the same category as not getting shitfaced on the first date, IMO.
