No.

1st meeting is a few drinks and she pays for herself like the good little mature independent woman she thinks she is.

Here’s a tip. Learn how to cook. Learn how to make common stuff like a pasta or how to make your ribs. This is an easy invitation to come to your place. After eating you can easily pick her up and take her to the bedroom. If she isn’t up for a first date at your place you take her to something exciting. Something to rush your adrenaline. Maybe like a concert. Even if you take her to a dinner date make sure it’s within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance from your place. Don’t let dinner last longer than 20 to 25 minutes. If at any point she isn’t reciprocating the effort you should just pull back completely and let her know that if she ain’t giving her 100% she ain’t getting a 100% from you.

What has she done to earn a dinner date from you?

FD’s should be short and informal, but engaging to see what you have.

Get coffee, take her for a walk. She how she reacts to you physically being next to her rather than across a table.

You can apply kino and gauge her interest from there.

My go to is drinks at a bar/cocktail lounge by my place and just trade off who's getting the first bill. "I got this one and you get the next one" has always worked for me and keeps the night going.

Don't do dinner dates on the first, hell even the 3rd. If you're hungry on a date grab a quick bite to eat takeout keep it moving or deliveroo back at your place after you've fucked.

Who the fuck cares.

Do what you want man.

TRP is only there to guide you, not to give you a definitive answer for everything you do in life.

Some people may say that paying on the first date is “beta”. Fuck that overthinking, do what you like, if you feel like it then pay for it.

If you expect her to reciprocate the next time, then communicate it to her - enforce your boundaries. That’s what’s important.

No need to overthink man.
