Question

What's the average amount you spend on the first date?

Answer 1

Depends on how much I want to continue a romance with the girl or how badly I want to engage in sexual intercourse with her in short order.  For the latter, I'll spend far more.  I'd rather not go into dollar amounts, in the interest of civility.

Answer 2

1000 no less

Answer 3

It's best to try to minimize the cost.

Dating is nothing more than negotiating the price of ongoing s*x with her. (Without either party admitting openly that any such transaction will be occuring).

If I'm not going to be able to afford her, it's best to get that in the open from the start.

Answer 4

Depends on a lot of things.  Your budget, your mutual interests, whether it's a first date with someone you know, or the 'getting to know you' of a blind date or someone you've only just met.  I think it's good to spend less on those dates, in the interest of everyone feeling it's okay to say if it isn't working out.

It should always be possible to date, no matter what your budget.

Answer 5

I always pay for the first date because I always ask the guy out and what I ask him is if he wants to jump out of a plane with me or not.  The ones who say "or not", I don't date.  How I do it and make all the "$$$" heebie-jeebies go away is like this:  "Hey!  Have you ever base jumped or skydived?  Would you like to?  I would LOVE to jump today.  Please-oh-please let me treat you to your "Virgin" jump!  Come on.  It'll be fun. They will video your jump all the way down and give me a copy to add to a wonderful collection I have of all my friends' "Virgin" jumps."

Works every-time.  If I do it right, money never even crosses a guy's mind the rest of the afternoon. To put a guy through jumping off a mountain or out of a plane with me out of the blue like that is enough.  He shouldn't have to pay for any of that kind of first date.  He "pays" his share in his bravery and gusto and how much fun I have doing that with men and seeing them come alive with the thrill of it all.  All together, I guess it's about a $500-600 afternoon and evening combined.  That's not bad for how great a date that is.  REALLY great.  Talking about getting to know each other a little better.  : )  Screaming, more screaming, begging, gasping, threatening to puke, threatening to harm the pilot if he doesn't go back down, screaming, hysterical giggles, and more gasping kinda wonderful experience.  : )   lol

Answer 6

Usually from $10 to $17. I'm not into anything fancy.

Answer 7

No more than two hours. One does not want to look needy.

Answer 8

No more than 40 bucks.  And, I eat before hand so I can order something small and cheap for myself.  Good odds she wont order more food than I do.

Leykis 101.

Though, if I'm just paying for myself.  The sky is the limit.

Answer 9

Do people still go on dates? hmmm..

Things are changin' I think. The last time I was on 'date' I was 21, I am 28 now and the woman I am with has never been on a date with me. We just started hanging out together and things progressed from there.

The amount varies, but for whatever reason folks are hesitant to call a date, a date.

Answer 10

the only sort of date i have ever been on is when me and a guy friend went a seen the spice girls movie...spice world ...

the movie costed 2 bucks to go se...each..( special night)

we had nothing else.. no popcorn..nothing..

yeah..im a cheapskate.

plus i made him go.

Answer 11

LOL i think beside everyone's amount they should have to put if they are still so sad and alone... (DIRECTED at "some guy")

my husband and i were working fast food when we met, and though my parents were rich i had no actual cash and neither did he. all our first dates were CHEAP, ie hikes, picking up a soda at McDonalds, movie nights, things like that. we're better off now, but we still look fondly back on those days, scrounging for change in our cars to rent a movie....

oh, and i'm married. happily so.

Answer 12

should not think about money on the first,second,or third just do what feels right. first dates seem to be more about fun,getting to know someone, after a few dates they would be more expensive, traveling,weekend get aways nice dinners, god this sounds g*y!
