Now I have a cell so I can text and call and keep her interested as we get closer to June 3rd
This is good..Just tell her you have work/life etc commitments. Make a date when you are ready and free.

I have done this myself, same situation. You will be more relaxed and at ease knowing you can have the date and have some bread left over

If you can't sacrifice clothes shopping, then set the date for 2 weeks from now, right now. Then tell her you have prior plans for the memorial day weekend and have a ton of errands and spring cleaning to do. That's kind of the truth anyway.
So you want me to see her NAKED? I obviously have to expand my wardrobe if I'm going to continue to see her as the season progresses. I only have about two summer shirts I can wear when I see her from last year. All the other ones have to be replaced. And the shirt that I wore when I saw her last night when do you think I can wear that again when I see her?-,lol

And since we both work the weekends would be the time we would see each other so I figured the upcoming HOLIDAY WEEKEND culd buy me some time until the following weekend

Have you ever gone to thrift stores like Goodwill? I hadn't gone to one in a decade and then one happened to be convenient to me so I checked it out. I'm trying to save money too. Because I lost some weight a lot of my clothes were not fitting anymore and I didn't want to spend several 100s to get a new wardrobe. If your wardrobe is too sparse, then it would be worth checking out to at least get a few items that are good quality brands.

A man who is 6'6 and weigh 275 can't shop at a thrift store

ok ok... you need to express that you enjoyed the first date and give her a follow up call this evening. tell her you would like to see her the following weekend after the holiday. then give her another follow up call a few days before the date.

i remember from an old thread, you would call/text women repeatedly, like multiple times a day. don't do that. that's crowding them. just call for asking her out and for following up because the date will be more than a week away.

What do you mean?

If she likes you, she will understand that you are broke and will agree to do something free or go dutch. Two weeks is a long time after the first date. Be honest about your finances. If she is no longer interested because you are broke, she may not be the right one for you.

I like the cheap / free date idea someone posted.... seems logical, if you really liked the person.... but if all your "plans and budget" are the priority, maybe the first date wasnt all that great after all and you might rethink asking for a second date. Personally, I would wait the "acceptable" amount of time between dates, but if I really liked the girl, seeing her again ..soon, became the priority, not budget
