A date only earns a "free" meal if she puts out. Otherwise she's using him.

It was a restaurant I wanted to go to with outdoor seating and a nice view outside but she didn't want to go because she was already there before

oh please, like spending $20 on someone's dinner is such a huge favor that they would be using you if they didn't repay you with sex.

i notice from your other post that you treat people like trained circus animals, rewarding "good behavior" with bananas. and then you are confused why they aren't responding to your training.

Why don't you spend it on a car, a tivo, and a phone that has a yelp app? Didn't I see you say you were saving for summer clothes? You are either broke, eccentric, or a liar. Personally, i'd go all in, on all three.

In the early dating stages, the guy should not be paying for dates all the time. It may be "only" $20 but if she isn't willing to do something in return, why would he spend so much early on (driving to her, etc.) This is why dating gurus advise guy to use the KISS strategy (keep it simple stupid).

By the way what does me rewarding colleagues with fruit have to do with this thread? Seems like an off topic comment.

I'm flattered that someone can be out at 3am in the morning and is thinking about me to call while she is on the road.
Dude, this woman is flaky so tread very carefully if you're willing to give her a second chance. As you can see she puts her friends ahead of you and wastes your time with the maybe date that doesn't go through.

How did your conversation go about the fact you were supposed to have a date Saturday but that she was missing in action?

it's related. because you are using things (dinner, fruit) to elicit or reward behavior. but i really doubt that other people really care about the fruit and dinner specifically. people bring in treats to share at work, just because and its not about the cost of the dinner or driving.

it's supposed to be about creating the opportunity to get to know someone. keeping it inexpensive in the beginning makes sense, but still nothing is owed in return. of course if she isn't attracted to you after a date or two, what's the point of continuing. but she isn't using you. she is using the date as a way to figure this out.
