Just downtown LA. We were around the Jewelry & Fashion District, wasn't impressed.

Besides, it is sexist to assume that the man pays for the date.

Does stalling for time count as a strategy?

Seriously though, I would take her somewhere decent and feed her well. There are some things worth more than money at this point of my life AND I'm not as broke anymore!

However, I'm a firm believer that it really doesn't matter what we do, as long as we have a good time, enjoy each other's company, and further get to know each other (that's what 2nd dates are for). Yup.

BUT I've never hung out in downtown after 6 PM, unless it was spending time at the Central Library doing work. I shall try it whenever I get a date down there Thanks for the suggestions!

If a chick digs on you then you'll have fun waiting in line at the DMV. If she doesn't then it doesn't make a difference where you take her, how much you spend, what kind of car you drive, or even what you look like. I once took someone out for dinner then to Home Depot on a date.

I think that's why I really liked it. No one has every planned a night so much like this. I am just used to coffee, a meal, a drink, laying down at the beach, and things like that. Our first date was pretty normal. We just went to Casa Vega during happy hour and had a drink.

There isn't really much happening there at night. The part by the Staple Center has the stuff I am talking about.

I know this will get flamed, but in the beginning of "courting" (don't know the alternative word to use) I typically expect the guy to pay. I mean I have even had guys who I didn't like me offer to pay. I'd just assume someone isn't interested if they don't offer.

One of the oddest dates I have ever been on was with a guy when I was 21. He took me to run errands with him. Was interesting and I think the last day I went on with him lol.

normally its the person who asks the other on a date that pays.

if you ask guys on a date, you should pay.
if they ask you they should pay.
in the initial stages.
or you can always go dutch.

it all depends.

i know lots of confident money making chicks that ask guys out. most guys wont let them pay and insist on paying for the date. the ones that do are keepers my friend says (they usually have less hagups about being with high profile women).

Usually when I ask a guy out, he will still insist on paying. I do on some dates insist on paying saying he has been so generous before, that this one is on me. However, I am not a high profile woman lol.
