When I was younger, we had a name for these women: “Dinner whores”
1st date dinner dates are for suckers.
If a girl likes you, she will like you regardless if you spend $10.00 on a date or $100.00 or $1000.00
In fact, the more you spend, the more uncomfortable many women will feel as they will feel a sense of obligation and/or that you are trying to “buy” their company.
You are basically sub-communicating that you think she’s a whore that can be bought with expensive dinners and insulting her.
One of the most amazing and beautiful women I ever dated, who was absolutely crazy about me and was my girlfriend for over a year didn’t give a hoot about fancy dinners and such.
Our first date was at a McDonald’s.

I’ve heard that one before.
