My date ordered a $50 lobster and steak combo on our first meal. I'm kind of torn.. (relatives, profile)

A man takes a woman to a place where he can afford any dish on the menu. Do not select a place that expensive again. She has every right to eat an expensive meal if you took her there. And if a man was freaked out by that I would not want to see him again.

You've made a l9t of strong statements here, but didn't support any of them with any reasoning - so, they aren't strong at all

"I will take one of every dessert on the menu.. To go please..."
After skipping from page 3 to LAST, he took her to a "first dinner" together on Valentine's Day. Sounds like they've probably had a few casual dates prior. Who brings a first date out on Valentine's? Most restaurants have Valentine's specials and some of them can get pricey. I bet that she's not a gold digger, but since he was taking her out on such a special night, the full menu was an option. And he said that he ordered first. The guy should always order last.
Maybe they should have gone to the sushi restaurant and ordered the "Love Boat" platter and saki. $50-60 for the two of them, plus the saki.
I've heard of some unscrupulous women who "play" the dating websites, setting up 3-4 "dinner dates" per week with different guys, ordering an appetizer that she doesn't eat but takes it home, and sticking the poor sap with the check. When I was playing the dating site game (engaged now, to a wonderful woman who I did meet on a dating site, so it can happen fellas), first meeting was meeting for coffee at Fivebucks. Ratchet it up on subsequent dates if you have a connection. But that first $100 plus dinner shouldn't be until it's serious, or her birthday or something.

I find this hard to believe. Are these women homeless? Who needs free food that badly?
I had a first meet on valentine's day. He reminded me that, I was like oh yeah. I don't think we even ate anything. I think we just met at the mall and chit chat. LOL. I always set up my meets at the mall coz I'm a mall rat. Most of the men I meet actually make me choose where to meet. There are a few that set up where, and the one I remember is some bar. Ugh, my husband never suggest bar when we were dating but once I was married to him we were at the bar every freaking time. LOL.

This is the type of thing fluff articles are written on, on occasion, in whatever blog or magazine, and they're almost always about some Manhattan or LA chick. There are a handful of people like this out there, it's not common or widespread. The normal guy like me won't run into these people. It's just an easy "scandalous" story to write.
I've heard this quite a bit. It can be a hobby for some.
I've heard it too...on the internet...or via "I know a friend whose sister's aunt's boss's daughter's ex-boyfriend knows who goes out 3 times a week just to get free food!" fully believable, verifiable sources.
IRL, in even a loosely connectable way (say...a friend's direct friend, whom we both actually know)?
Not one single person. Not a one.
Any woman who is starving to death and requires date-food to carry on is probably not dressed and dolled up and self-caring to the 9s in order to be able to keep "pulling" 3, 4, 5 brand-new "free meal" dates per week.
