What Are The Expectations For A First Date? by ektbear: 3:12am On Sep 23, 2011
A friend of mine met this girl. He wants to take her somewhere relatively inexpensive for a first date. She is expecting a big expensive dinner, and is making a fuss about his previous proposal.

My friend is getting cold feet. . . doesn't know this chick at all and doesn't want to spend tons of cash on a girl he doesn't even know.

Is he being cheap, or is she demanding too much?

Personally I think she is asking for too much. First dates are basically supposed to be low-key affairs where you just get to know each other more, right?

Both of them suck what the fu!ck. cheesy

For a starter, the guy is not even supposed to tell the girl where he's taking her. . . . is supposed to be a suprise no? undecided

And the girl should just shut her dirty mouth and go with the flow. Is not as if they are dating even. So why all the fuss?

She can decide after the first date whether she wants to continue or not. undecided undecided undecided undecided

For me I don't look at the venue where I am taken on a first date, but the person personality, how I relate with them, and how we connect.

And who expect the best out of a first date anyway? First dates are like blind dates, expect nothing but the worst. If it turns out good, then good luck to you.

Where in Odo-Ado do they sell expensive dinner?. For an Ekiti guy, a N250/plate dinner is outrageously expensive.  tongue tongue tongue tongue

+100

What even makes all of this sketchy is that they met a club. So he literally doesn't know the chick at all. Only thing he knows is that she is pretty. I don't understand why she'd even want someone she doesn't even know spending big cash on her?

Weird to me.

First dates aren't a pop quiz or a final exam. Its supposed to be a simple socialization between two people who is testing the waters.

First dates should be at a public place where you have options of walking in the park, drinking tea or coffee discussing meaningful topics, attending a public event of common interest together, and going to a nice eatery where the mood is relaxing and comfortable.

To get over the cold feet or jitter bugs, just imagine you are out with your best friend or fave person.

@OP: Let your friend tell the girl to be ready to pay the full bill or at least 50% of the bill of the first date, then he should carefully watch her response to the proposal. If she accepts, then she is alright; but if she declines, she is just another hungry gold-digger IMO.

@sleekch1c Had a laugh while reading about your experience. Truely that was a lose lose situation.
1. Tell the dude that u hate the place and you come out looking like you are high msintenance and a snob or
2. Endure the fragrant odour of fufu and the roadside gutter then puke yur guts out after "dinner"

Me thinks a first date should be low key but nice like a movie. But any chic advocating for dinner at Oceanview
would have her behind kicked to the curb by yours truly wink wink wink

A friend of mine met this girl. He wants to take her somewhere relatively inexpensive for a first date.

FAIL#1: there are many places he can go to that are chic and inexpensive. why does it have to be a place to eat?! why should it be an expensive place?! your friend should take her to a classy cafe/wine bar.

She is expecting a big expensive dinner, and is making a fuss about his previous proposal.

FAIL#2: if the girl expect some big flashy dinner then he should tell her that he aint ready to splash out on some expensive dinner with a strangers. . . . . . . . or that you should go dutch (aka 50/50). et voila!
the important question IS: what has he said/done for this girl to expect such extravagance on the first date?
but hey, IF HE MUST then he should tell her HIS expectations as well!

My friend is getting cold feet. . . doesn't know this chick at all and doesn't want to spend tons of cash on a girl he doesn't even know.

FAIL#3 let me guess: she has big red eyes and looks like she can kick his a[b]s[/b]s?! bwaaah!
what is so difficult in being honest and simply telling her: I CANT!!!!

Is he being cheap, or is she demanding too much?

asking this question is your FAIL#4

Personally I think she is asking for too much. First dates are basically supposed to be low-key affairs where you just get to know each other more, right?

FAIL#5, being a first date is irrelevant here, if a man doesnt want to pay for an expensive meal then there is NO REASON why he should. . . . . . .whether on the 1st, 10th or 50th date!
also, if a person WANTS to splash out (important word being "WANTS"wink then there is no reason why he shouldnt, so long as it is HIS wish and he can.
