i have a rule about never taking a woman to expensive place on a first date. first of all if im just getting to know YOU, i dont see why it needs to be some high end place just to chat with you for a bit. second of all I used to like to see how they would respond. If she acts funny about a place I know she is most likely not the one anyway, no need to spend spend a grip on her. if assumes im broke for this, i know she's a bird.
