I had no idea what a big consideration cost was during dating until I stumbled upon CD. Heck even when I was dirt broke it never seemed to be an issue. If I wanted to go with a guy then we'd just go out and no, I never expected him to pay. Of course, I'd only go out with guys who I was interested in - so they were pretty few and far between, but seriously, how many women do you guys ask out on a weekly basis to be this worried?

This. I always went Dutch, at least on the first date.

I'd love to go with you and enjoy ice cream. It's nice, and sweet, and makes me feel good. Science has proven this.

Now that I think about it, what kind of person does not want to go out and eat ice cream? She sounds like a crazy person. Why fret? It's not normal to turn down ice cream, marginalizing it as some immature escapade. It's eating ice cream...

According to the OP, enough dates to be scrutinizing their bank statement.

I don't think it would be an issue if guys actually got something in return on the first date (whether it's a second date or getting laid) but apparently, that's not happening, ergo, questioning the woman's intentions about dating (shes dating for free meals) Lol

A woman is in a WIN-WIN situation since she is going to see if she clicks with a guy and if not she still got a meal out of it

So only teens like to sit outside on a nice summer day and eat ice cream? Have you ever heard of something so silly? How does she know that ice cream meeting would not lead to dinner if things were flowing the right way? She clearly is hungry and looking for a free meal
I like ice cream.

Rocky road. Or some mint chocolate chip. Perhaps gold medal ribbon.
Maybe Some caramel.

Maraschino cherries. They are so hard to find in the grocery store though. It's like the ice cream shops made a deal with grocery stores to hide the cherries hoping that in turn people would give up and just go get ice cream at the Ice Cream shop.

It's statements like this that are why I won't meet you at the Franklin Fountain.

Seriously though, couldn't the same be said about a guy? And why aren't you going Dutch treat if these women are running you broke?

If you're regularly not hearing from women again after the first date, you're either dating the wrong women or you're doing something wrong on your dates.

Man, I haven't had that in ages! Scoop of that with a scoop of Baseball Nut may be in order for this evening and there is a Baskin Robbins conveniently on my way home.

She may not eat ice cream... although I'm a guy I will give my input. I only eat ice cream maybe once a year. My body is not used to it because I'm a clean eater and severely limit my processed sugar intake.

Also, she may be lactose intolerant.
