I respect a woman that searches for quality, but it is true. Dates have to be creative and out of the ordinary.,
I'll refer you to the following:
@TheStripper "
If you asked her to meet you, pay her way and hanging out with her exclusively/semi-exclusively then yes it is a date. It doesn't have to be fancy to be a date."
And
@ilovejesus "Starbucks is another good place.
To have a good date you need to know how to talk.
It does matter if you take girl to the most expensive and exciting place in the world, if you guys don't spend anytime having any good conversation
the date is going to fall flat.
Whether you like it or not, conversation is the beginning and end of any good date.
And conversation is FREE."
