Why don't you just watch reruns of the golden girls and offer her some doughnuts and beer? That's how real men do it.

I'm not sure who, in their right mind, would go to anyone's home on a first date to "get acquainted". You're asking for trouble, man or woman. I call bullsh*t on that whole scenario.

If you're confident then the risk doesn't seem insurmountable, and men are less adverse to risk than women. However, if you are doubtful of your chances of impressing a woman then having to pay causes much consternation. You might not agree with it in principle but you're willing to accept the risk.

That's not to say all confident men agree to pay, but I do think that many men who complain about paying are simply not very confident with women.

Or is this the part where you pay her and instead end up with her big, bald, burly driver. No money and no honey.
if you know which buttons to push, having a woman in your house has a very high chance of ending in sex.

If the woman is someone you've been acquainted with through friends and spent time with in group settings and have good report with, I don't think it's out of the question. This is known as hooking up.

But if you aren't already acquainted, first date at my house? Can you say AWKWARD!

Charm her, and make her laugh her pants off and then go out dancing. Let the night be fun and exciting. Dating should be fun not some tedious calculus exam.

It's that easy.
dude, aren't you gay?

And that means I have no clue about the dynamics of dating? Why are you getting all angry about this. You should be thankful and appreciative.

I am not getting angry lol. I'm just wondering why a gay man would be giving advice on how to date women. If I want to lay pipe I ask the plumber for advice, not my hairstylist.

I'm not gay anymore. I've been on friend dates with women and they tell me all this junk about dating and what not. I've tried it out on the people I date and it works fine. It's for your own good not to get so enraged and frustrated. have a nice day
