How much money do you spend on the first date

Well.. it's in the title really. How much? This doesn't have any relevance to me other than I was wondering - cos on TV they always go to posh resturants and I can imagine it being £70+ each time?
Which.. for a meal just to get to know someone better seems a bit much. :chin: Maybe I'm just cheap? Maybe when I have a full time job it won't seem that much?

Best idea i think is a quiet drink in a bar, share buying rounds and pay as much/little as you want. That way theres no def amount of money but a first date is meant to be about finding out about each other, not sitting in a cinema! I think if you spoil a person rotton at a restaurant on a first date, theyre going to expect a lot more on the next date! Start of with a drink and progress to the meal!

Most girls would want to pay for their half, like as an independence thing. But its rude to expect her to, especially if the asker has chosen something expensive.
At the beginning of my relationship with my bf, we took turns paying for each other and didnt go for a meal until wed been together a month, much better. Even know, after 3 years if i ask my bf to go for a meal/drink/cinema i pay, if he asks he pays!
I've never got home and thought 'that was a cheap date, he should've spent more'
If I got on a first date I'm always flattered if the man offers to pay for everything but I usually insist that I pay my way.

Oh I know - when I go out on a date with a girl it usually consists of hanging around a park for a while on the swings... then walking about doing nothing then getting an open bag of chips and walking her home
*sigh* the joys
Just like I was thinking 'when I'm older will I have to fork out serious cash?!?!'
As the years roll by what you do, and what you have, becomes more important. You notice that girls don't ask you about the things you like, but more about what you do, etc. Hmmmm.

I was saying to someone that more money makes you more attractive - and they said it didnt. But if two guys came up to you - one stepping out of his £50k BMW in a suit, with a certain aura about him that succesful business man have; and a £10k a year (if that) mcdonalds worker came up to you wearin the usual jeans and t-shirt in his 'im cool' manner - who you gonna pick?
She said it would depend I reckon she was trying to avoid the inevitable answer that although money isnt everything - it does make a guy more attractive.
heheh noo i could never - it'll be my treat
