I Ain’t Saying She a Golddigger
I met a nice and attractive girl at a bar so I asked her out. She told me there was this restaurant she was dying to try so I made reservations for Friday night. The dinner was good, but very expensive. I figured that on the second date we would go somewhere more casual. But she suggested another fancy place. I obliged, but I was determined to go somewhere cheap if it continued beyond the second date. We had great conversation and I was definitely interested in dating her because she was smart, beautiful and well traveled. When I asked her out for date number three I suggested we go bowling. She sighed and said she really wanted to try this new hot spot she read about. She agreed to bowling, but proceeded to pout throughout the date. I asked her what was wrong and she explained that dating was the only way she ever got to try these upscale restaurants since she was fired from her job six
months prior. She said she really missed her old lifestyle. I flat out asked her if she had any interest in me beyond my ability to take her to dinner and she shrugged her shoulders. I gave her ten bucks for a taxi and walked out.
Excellent recession/bad date story! Way to do topical.
Wow, she didn’t even deserved the $10 bucks for the cab!
shoulda just left her there, haha. but good job, you were nice.
I sort of feel bad for her – she’s so self-absorbed she missed out on what sounds like a genuinely good man. Of course, that also means she doesn’t deserve him!
For first dates, stick to drinks only (preferably no more than 2 each). If first date works out, then do dinner. This is a good way to save some money and not waste time.
On the first date go to a average place,not expensive. You can pay on first date, but dont ever again pay thereafter!Make clear on the first date that you wont tolerate goldiggers , and that she must pay half of everything that needs to be paid in the relationship. Dont pay for her, and then you will quickly see how genuine she is. If she cant keep up with your financial income, then lower your standard of life!Dont even let her pay only 10 percent ,just because she earns less, she will still use you. Just lower your standard of life. Never show a woman that you are wealthy , untill you know her very well,-at least 2 years.Infact I would insist never,ever disclose your wealth to her at all. EVER!!That way you will soon figure out if she is genuine. If she pays up half of everything , provided you lower your life standard then you know she is genuine.
What total crap! Looks like you dodged a bullet!
actually, kate, that’s a good way to make sure he NEVER gets a date. telling a woman you’ve just met that you “won’t tolerate golddiggers” makes you sound bitter and distrustful.
just have a casual first AND second date- coffee, drinks, a park, museum, or gallery- nothing over ten bucks- and see how she responds. if she gets upset, get rid of her. a person who’s interested in you isn’t going to care how much you spend on the first dates, but a person you’re interested in, would be really turned off by the assumption that they might be a golddigger.
i’ve had first dates that were nothing more than ice cream and conversation, first dates that were in my home with a meal i cooked, even a couple where we just drove around and talked. it doesn’t have to be chez pricey to be great!
sounds like you met a dinner whore, btw, the new term for serial dating women who only go out for the free meal. women like that are disgusting.
you should have agreed to take her to the most expensive place you could find, eaten half your meal, and excused yourself to go to the restroom- then ditched that shallow tramp with the check!
some people deserve a dine and dash.
