Of course I could but my question is more so why should a man do it when he doesn't even know the woman like that. He is trying to get to know her.
I'm listening to the answer but my question is how does it make a good impression. For all you know she could be looking at you and going oh yeah, this is a sucker lol.
Your personality can make a good impression but how does paying for the first date make a good impression. Again, that just tradition that it's a good thing to do but I'm honestly asking, How does it make a good impression?
