These guys are idiots or the girl is putting out. No way would I go on 5 dates with someone if I don’t see mutual interest.

For a first online date I always start somewhere reasonably cheap ($20-40pp) and don’t pay if the girl rushes and wants to run right after food. Just before getting the check, I just ask “so what do you want to do after?” If she wants to run and doesn’t have a good excuse, she’s obviously not interested.

Go Dutch and if she whines you say “this wasn’t a date, we’re just hanging out”. If she tries to make a scene in a restaurant you’re known, just cut your loses.

She didn't say she went out 5x with each guy. She said she had a rule of NO MORE THAN 5 dates with one guy. Probably most guys she went on one to three dates before moving on.
