    I don't "budget" per se, but I definitely try not to get crazy. I almost took a girl out for a dinner which was going to easily run $200 or more, $40 a person for dinner (brazillian steak house), and bottles of wine running 50-80 a bottle, that's not counting if she wanted mixed drinks and/or dessert. Good thing she cancelled right? lol

    I normally take a date to a nice sit down restaurant, which runs between 50-80 for dinner, then if they want to go out and do more I'm more than willing to, unfortunately there aren't a ton of places in Jacksonville to do that aside from smoky bars and stuff like that. We need more dessert places. There is one, but they close at approx. 10pm which is usually when dinner is ending.

    No I am useless at managing and keeping track of money and never have any idea about how much I have or don't have :ohwell:

    Fiscal management is a huge turn on to me so unless it’s an major event or special occasion I would probably be turned off by something to pricy or extravagant. (Says your local mortgage underwriter).

    But teach I would count on at least 100-250. Dinner and drinks.... Then if it's going well something else after, go to a nice bar and have a few drinks. Most people don't order massive meals on first dates so it's not usually to bad lol!
    You guys are f'in minted!
    $100 is about £60!!! $250 is £150... :noway:
    With £150, I'd go to Spain camping with the girl for a weekend (or France). How does that sound for a first date?
    If I lived in England, taking a girl to France or Spain for the weekend would be terrific. Camping is a little tough for a first date though. I'm not big into camping but you two are spending a lot of time together. Camping is probably better if you're both into camping and you know that you already have chemistry with the person.
    I know it's probably not the best idea for a first date (what if the girl is annoying as hell and you're stuck in a tent with her eheheh!).

    What I meant is more: damn that's really a lot of money to spend on a first date/local half-boring date, and you could do so much better with that money on a subsequent date rather than blow it all on an average date especially given that many women say price of stuff doesn't matter, and that's it's all about the experience!

    I'd go on that first date with you! Sounds fun!
    By the end of it though, you'd be so gutted that you said (probably like 80% of the women) no sex on the first date... Because over the course of a 48 hours we'd definitely get to know each other reaaaaally well. But eh, still the first technically. :wink:

    Whatever it takes:glasses:

    No seriously. If we are t,asking about a first date, I wouldn't have an amount of money in mind to spend, but I would be wary to at least have a couple of hundred dollars to spare. Don't want to have to cut something short that's awesome because you've run out of cash!



    Couple hundred?? Dang we could go parasailing on that money!
    I'm cheap, $20 would easily cover me. Had a date a few weeks ago where we skipped dinner (which is perfectly fine) but he wouldnt even buy my one and only drink at the bar. Guess his entertainment budget was maxed out from his previous dates.

    And nope I dont have a weekly/monthly entertainment budget at all.

    I'm down. Which concerts? And will I need different outfits for each concert?

    I've got shoes I can climb in already, should I bring a harness?

    I'm also a little sunburnt from this past weekend, do you mind at least spraying me down with SPF 50? lol

    ok then I apologise.

    It will be dark. As long as you're wearing a black t and jeans and dark shoes, you'll be fine. It'll be a three of us date. Thank you for being so considerate of my social status HAHAHAHA <3
