How much to spend on a "first" date?

A major mistake of newbies is over thinking stuff and trying to apply alphabruh mentality to every situation. You've been fucking for a while so I'm assuming you're having fun. If she wants one dinner then why the fuck not. For the type of place, pick something medium classy (depending on your relative income ) and just enjoy the food.

Fridays, chili's, elephant bar, etc... All reasonably priced. Stay under $40.

Never say "fuck it and go all out" for a woman. If you do that, you do it for yourself.

For a first date, you'll look desperate, weird, or worse, you'll set the bar too high.

If you're already fucking her, but are willing to see to take her out, what you want is some "interesting, local place." Don't go more than about $25 on an entree, but they should serve alcohol. Find out if she's a vegetarian or not. Unless you know she likes a particular ethnic food, stay away from ethnic places.

Why?

Take her out for breakfast after she spends the night in your bed. Work up the appetite in the morning.

Not more than you'd be willing to spend on a regular basis were she to become a LTR. You can always preface with "next time you're taking me out"

or "you take me out first" Let her set the tone.

If you start to pay for her shit, she'll start changing the way she looks at you. This is her pushing for commitment, ask yourself what you want from her and act accordingly. If you want to stay fwbs, don't pay for her and just make sure you're good company.

Zero change in your spending habits, if you go to chipotle, then about $7 for a burrito.

How many other women do you fuck on a regular basis?

She's a plate, not a gf. If you want to enjoy a meal with her, you go dutch. It all depends on what YOU want. Quit pining over what you should be doing for a plate, or fuck... even what a gf wants. Women will follow if your going to lead. What is it that you want to eat?
