This is Nigeria and not America or Uk, where your first date could be in a garden, zoo, amusement park etc. Here most first date outings go with food and drinks. In some countries in the west, a lady can come to your house on the first date and you make food or order, but let say for security reasons, thats not the case in Nigeria.

So you meet an average Nigerian girl, and you get talking and you decide your going to meet for a date somewhere, how much should a guy budget for a first date to be confident or comfortable ?

$$$

10k should be enough. Anything more, she is a gold digger and does not see a future with you.

Highest the two of you share one fish 5k, drinks 2k her transport 2-3k.

Or una chop rice each 1800*2 = 3600, water or juice 1500 plus 3k transport = 8100

If you go drop her then 5 to 8k will do.

If you decide to drink only water and watch her eat, which most guys do, then u save 2 -3k extra.

0 naira - l don't have time to waste on dates. l can only manage to invite her to my place and then trek her back to her home and then fly a bike back to my home.

It depends on the guy's pocket,you know yourself and your pocket,in fact 2k could be enough depending on where you intend taking her and even your location,sometimes you only have to have a means of transportation as you might not have to spend any money at all.

Where I stay even 1k is enough to go on date and have a nice time with a girl,so all these factors should be considered.

Its only advice able not to try to over impress a girl on first date because you breed a wrong impression

Hmm, 10k in your pocket in today's Nigeria, is not over impression. Is it cigarette and pure water that the both of u will take on the first date with 1k?

That is why I said it depends on where you want to go to and your location,read my reply well.
10k might be just manageable in some places like Lagos

That location that 1k can afford a nice time for a guy and a girl on a first date might not be descent or comfortable for a lady.

My budget is for Lagos and even Abuja.

Bruh, sell all ur electronic gadgets, she might come with almost all her village people o

Here's a break down of my budget for our first date.

Tfare to where you will drop. N100.

Bike wey go carry us N70

N50 pure water.

2 roasted corn. N50 each.

6 pears. N20 each.

Tfare back to the park N70

Back to my house N100


TOTAL N610


Still expensive.

Why not cut your cloth according to your size... There shouldn't be a standard amount for one to spend on any date.. Ah mean, there are ladies who would even be happy to drink customized garri with a broke guy....

No joy.

10k

It never a must you will give a girl Tfare on your first date.

Movie: 1000 X 2 = 2000
KFC: 2000 X 2= 4000
Pizza for her friends = 4000
Souvenir: 5 000
Uber: 5000
Durex: 500
Sharp corner hotel room : 5000
All togeda na 25k you need for first date
Best of luck

True, but this is Nigeria, when you have talked a while and decide to meet in a public place, there will be food and drinks involved . The drinking garri will be when she is comfortable enough to come to your house.

Don't budget anything. Take her where no money is needed if she is genuine you will hear from her again.

I'd advice that if possible, go with an ATM machine.

Our first date should be in a church.

So, only our bible and N200 for offering money is enough

lol, bro, will you let your sister date a guy that spends this on their first date ?

Yes oo, this is Naija now. Depending on where she is coming from, if u dont have a car to take her, then its not a bad idea. atleast make an offer let her reject. Unless she has a car or a very well paying job .

Someone that earns 40k a month and spends 1500 for a first date will feel the impact .What do u think ?

Nice one, but lets rule her friends, souvenir, condom and hotel out I think 10k as mekaboy said is still within range.

I expect my sister to give the guy financial advise. He's wasteful

1500 or 15000 thousand naira.

There should be no set rule or guide in how much you spend
You spend according to your wallet size ....

N1500. Someone that goes to work and earns 40k at the end of the month, might have spent up to 15k on transport, 15k on feeding, her savings is 10k. if she spends 1500 from that savings to transport her self on a first date, its alot.
