Guys, Don’t Spend Too Much On A First Date

Most guys are quite prepared to spend on a first date. In fact, they will splash out with money they probably don’t really have to spend in order to make a big impression, thinking it’s the thing to do. While there’s nothing wrong with being generous, being too generous in an attempt to impress a girl is not always the best policy. In fact, spending less may be the best approach. This article outlines why you should not spend too much on a first date.

1. Don’t spend more than you can afford. It isn’t something to be ashamed of if you can’t afford to throw money at everything that comes along. Be honest about it and simply say that you can’t afford it. Of course, you should prepare for the first date. Save up enough money to buy a meal or whatever it is you want to do, but if you can’t afford to buy an expensive bottle of wine as well, don’t!

2. Don’t let the girl persuade you to spend more than you want to. Most girls are nice, but some will take advantage of a guy and use their wily ways to persuade him to spend a lot more than he bargained for. Be the man and say no. Tell her that you are not prepared to spend too much on a first date as it might give the impression that you are trying to impress her. No really – she will probably never have heard that one before and if she’s worth anything at all, she’ll respect you for it.

3. Don’t spend more on the first date than you are willing to spend on the second, third and fourth date. There may not be more than the first date, but spend as if there will be. Think of it this way; if you splash out over your budget on the first date, how are you going to look on subsequent dates when you can’t afford to keep it up? Spend as you mean to go on. You will gain more respect for it than you might think.

4. Tell her that you are not trying to win her affections through spending a lot of money. Tell her that it’s her you are interested in and not how much you can impress her. Tell her that you know she will understand. If she doesn’t understand, on the other hand, then maybe she wasn’t really worth it anyway.

5. Take her out on the first date to somewhere that doesn’t cost much, or where spending too much is difficult to do. Your first date is a stage where you should both be trying to get to know each other better. When money gets in the way it can only confuse things. Why not take her on a walk through the park? OK, if it’s dark and late, that might not be such a good idea, but if it’s early evening, why not? You can always stop for a coffee or drinks somewhere later on. You don’t have to lay on a slap up meal with all the trimmings. Keep it simple and concentrate on her and getting to know her better.
