Girls who are only interested if there's a flashy car or a bottle of champagne involved must be a bit shallow anyway - I would be really touched if someone took me for a walk along a river, I think that's lovely.

Hi haggle,

Maybe your girl is in debt too and that's why she never offers to pay? I would tell her, I would hate to think a guy was getting himself into debt for me (well ok I would be a little flattered!!) and if she runs away then stuff her. You sound like a really nice guy and deserve to be with someone who genuinely wants to be with you and not because you take her out!! I can't say I've been on many dates in my time but from what everyone else has said the cheaper dates sound way better than the fancy restaurant and those are the ones I'd remember for every.

I think I'd better stop right now or I'll be getting a smack around the head from someone who I've walked along a river with recently!

To quote Mitch Hedberg: "I don't have a girlfriend, I just know someone that would be p!ssed to hear me say that."

I once saw a fella wearing an abercrombie and fitch t-shirt that said

Define "Girlfriend"

and although i'm taken, i had to go and tell him i loved it!!

I am a single (& fabulous) girl in debt. From a girl's point of view I would rather a guy be honest with me about his financial situation & if I like him I would encourage him to sort himself out. They are plenty of ways to enjoy someones company without you spending vast of money. If this is going to go long-term, you need to be with someone who has your best interest at heart - this includes financial! If she cares for you, she will/should want to offer solution & if she stops calling you - I will say lucky break!!!!
I would prefer a guy cook for me, than spend lots of money taking me with money he doesnt have.
Does she ever put her hands in her pockets to pay?
Plenty more fish in the sea. I would rather be single than have to deal with a shallow person
Good Luck

Of course you have something to offer!! Everyone does!

My general feeling is that I will let the guy buy the first drink, but I would automatically buy the second - if he refused to let me, I would accept gracefully, but only on the first date - on second dates etc, I would insist.

I like a man to be a bit gentlemanly, but I wouldn't expect him to pay for everything. On the other hand, I wouldn't make him uncomfortable by insisting on paying half on a first date if he specifically said he didn't want me to.

On the first date I would definitely offer to pay my half - would never expect the guy to pay for a meal. He would reply "No I insist, it was my idea to come here" (or something similar). My response "No way, I am a 21st century girl and I like to pay my way". His response (if the date has gone very well)? "No I will pay tonight - you can treat us next time"

Woo hoo!
