Look you don’t need to spend a ton of money on a date but you should obviously not make it your goal to embarrass or underwhelm your date and you should ESPECIALLY not, as a man, ask a woman on a date and then act like she owes you something and is lucky to be in your presence.   YOU asked HER. The average woman has far more suitors than the average man, this is just the way it is. That doesn’t mean men can’t have standards but don’t be an idiot and blow your chances before you even get to know her by going into it with a shitty adversarial miserly attitude. Women can sense this energy and it’s incredibly unattractive.
