A man should never spend more than 40 bucks for a date. He should eat a good meal before taking her out so all he has to order for himself is a salad.
I would rather stay at home and make macaroni and cheese for myself than to date someone just to get a free dinner. But then, I’m a guy.
A way to avoid dinner.
When you’re asking her out, say something like “Well, what time are you eating dinner?”
She might think you’re asking her to dinner.
When she gives an answer, like “Oh, I was thinking about 7:30,” you make your move.
Say, “Ok, and about an hour and a half to eat, I’ll pick you up at 9 and we can get some drinks?”
You’ve done it.
She’ll probably look dumbfounded for a second, or think that you are a little “dense,” but you have just won. That’s an entire dinner you don’t have to pay for!
