I would be more interested to hear how often you take girls on dates and where you usually take them. It all seems rather arduous and unnecessarily complicated the way you advise building up to the big date.

u could always just try it. then comment.

Dates are rubbish its far more fun getting girls numbers and never doing anything with them. id much rather brag about how many numbers i got than go on dates and potentially have regular sex.

Jynx likes bowling and ice skating because when, inevitably, he gets stood up he can do something anyway.

Why should I? I don't think he even has.

Never thought I'd say this in my entire life but I agree with Nova. If you're getting regular dates, the money spent on them alone is unrealistic.

ur right here like, i got to a point wer i was proper picky about who i took on a date.

but i kinda think this is the whole issue for girls, they want you to pay coz they want to know you value them enough to be one of the girls you are willing to pay for.

i suppose you could always try this

"i just don't take girls out anymore, it was costing me a fortune tryin to find a girl i liked so i gave up in the end coz ur all a bunch of weirdo's anyway"

to which the reply would be no doubt one of the following

a. Im Not like other girls.

b. you dont need to spend money on me.

c. fuck off then you cheapskate.

d. Thats nice but you are still under arrest.

This is never a talking point for me on a first date. I buy the first round, they buy the next. It kind of goes without saying.

If you find that she doesn’t feel valued by your actions and words, etc., you’re doing something wrong.

nah, as ill say again. i don't do one for one with a girl 'i asked out' if u wanna take her out then do it.

and they say chivalry is dead

For me it's always been a bad precedent to set, taking them on all expenses paid adventures, as if you were a couple. I'd rather provide her sex than ice skating sessions. Some other chode can do that for her.
