| Okay. Here's the skinny. I went out on a first date with this woman on Sunday. We went skiing and had a great time. I paid for everything($120). I can't keep up this rate of spending every weekend. I don't want to seem cheap but she makes more than me. This is a slow time of year at work for me and I live off of my savings till about February. I want to go dutch for a while at least. How can I introduce this concept to her gentlty? And no, I will not "lay down the law" so please just usefull replies. |

Just tell her your situation buddy. If that makes her mad and ends things then she is not worth you giving her the time of day. For a first date i personally would of had her pay her own way, at least her own lift ticket. Just explain, she will understand. If she doesn't, better you get over with it now then $1,000 down the road eh? ;) |

Hmmm...well...SOMEBODY'S giddy around here... :-) Quoted: I guess I never got that memo. It's been so long since I've had a date. I found that I was quite rusty. Dating is definitly not like riding a bike. I must have done something right though because she called me back tonight just to talk. |

Quoted: Why not just see if she can pass the final test right off the bat. Next time you guys go out do something cheap and say, sorry the date is so lame but I just spent $600 on a new Sig handgun and I'm short for a while. To push that a little further wear on outfit that cost under $40 including shoes. |

Quoted: Well Im single here so no advice, most women dont like me or my attitude. But I do get to spend alot on my rifles. Goodluck with a solution, depends on her attitude. You are the single whiniest bitch on this site! Cry and cry about how nobody likes you and you can't get laid, and then brag and brag how you don't care. Guess what? People who really don't care, don't have to keep reminding everyone (themselves included) that they don't care. Go get a haircut and some decent clothes, and quit with the whining & faux bragging. |

Kind of dug a hole for myself and set a bad precident. Remember this The first date is ALWAYS coffee and conversation! That MIGHT cost you $10 if she wants a donut or a piece of pie to go with it. Let her get interested in the MAN before the WALLET! Then you can start slinging some semi serious cash around later! |

How much is a piece of HER pie?[;d] |
| Themistocles would have lured her into a small confined space and then played on his terms. Remember what happened to him ultimatly? He was bannished from Athens by the very people he saved because they feared him gaining to much power. Also, the vote may have been rigged by one of his enemys. But, I digress. |
