I dont date, no : p But Ive always thought going to a park would be a cool way to have a first date. It would still be public, but you wouldnt be crowded with loud people bumping into you or anything. And you could take a peaceful and scenic walk together, which I think makes talking together easier as I seem to have an easier time thinking about things when I walk : p It would be a good way to break the ice, maybe. Plus I like swings, so if the playgrounds werent covered in kids we could hang out on the swings or whatever : p

We have some really nice parks here, they have paved walking paths and large ponds with ducks and other animals and swings and nice picnic areas and other nice things. If we were hungry I guess we could go get some food somewhere, though Im kinda shy about eating in front of people anyway so I wouldnt feel a huge need to do it unless the person I were with wanted to : p

My friend was once with a girl, he said they often did the same thing. Like I guess the second time they went out to eat, she told him shed take care of the bill. He was surprised, haha : p

I wouldnt mind paying for the meal or anything : p But being with a girl who was willing to pay for food for you is kinda cool yeah : p

Haha that is cool. I don't really mind either, but I think it is better to be equal.

I know you're not asking me cause I'm married but my husband was hired to a new job with a promotion. I wanted to do something nice for him and he loves to eat so I went all out. Funny how it's both of our money anyway but it's the thought yes?

Right? Over the phone no less. LOL
I'm not even joking. I'll speak for myself. Girls can be high maintainence and unreasonable. Know why there are so many singles? Cause we are bad communicators and want guys to automatically know what we're thinking. I mean we hand out decoder rings and everything.

I'm sorry and you can continue to pray for my husband. I'm hard to live with But with prayer I'm getting better. Lol.
I will apologize for my gender. But it's honestly just a disconnect in society and how we are 'supposed' to be.

I never date as women can't stand the sight or even the thought of me.

I always insist on paying my way.

And if, for instance, he's driven an hour to meet me (that's happened before), I pick up the tab for his meal to make it even.

I quit dating like a year or so ago. My wallet is noticably fatter. I didn't realize how much money I spent just on gas to go get someone and drive around until I stopped.

You should tell your higher-maintenance self to stop being so demanding. :p

Not to mention that you should go dutch. :D
