Reply To Cedarhurst:
I know the guy pays for it all but I’m just trying to figure it out because I’ve had both situations happen to me and just trying to figure out if that’s normal. People should not give off the impression of spending a lot especially if they can’t keep up with it. What’s the point? To impress the girl for a few dates then they think there is a better chance of it working out? Not gonna happen! If he is a guy that likes to spend money and can afford it then go for it, but if it will be out of his budget within a few dates then just be neutral from the beginning. Unless a girl is shallow, I don’t think that if you spend a little less money and she had a good time, she will not continue it because you didn’t spend a lot of money. As long as you both have fun, things should fall into place regardless of how much you spent. I’ve heard of plenty situations where people got married and the guy did not like spending money. Marry for the person he is, not for his money!!! (which does help a lil lol)
