Ascension: Don't you realize its the man's responsibility to perform. Then she can evalutate him to see if he is now worthy of her time. But if he doesn't perform to her expectations, its out the door, send in the next one, see if he can do better.

What? You think women don't go through the same thing? Men do the EXACT same thing, though the different genders probably have different checklists.

Exactly. There were dudes in the "90 Days" thread who said they bolt if a woman doesn't put out by date three. That's certainly a performance evaluation.

I think people are too picky about these kinds of things, thus why dating is made so damn difficult. It really seems to depend on the guy's personality. I've had guys say we're meeting at this place on this day at this time and that's fine. I don't mind. There have been times when I've picked. If a guy seems to be having a hard time putting a plan together then I'm fine helping him out and suggesting a place. I think some guys are just worried they won't choose well to make a good impression. It's not a big deal at all to me.

Perform and get judged if you don't meet my expectations then guess what!! We all judge and get judged, DO NOT pretend that you don't also do it, in some level, no matter how small you judge people, we all do...

I think it's a normal and reasonable expectation that the person who does the inviting comes up with the itinerary. As a compromise measure, he could come up with a plan A and a plan B, to give her a choice, or just a Plan A, and ask if she has a suggestion of her own. But somewhere I came across the advice that if the guy wants to ask the woman out, he should get to know her well enough through the first conversation/s and texts, to have an idea of what her general interests are, which way her tastes lean, so that he can come up with something that she's likely to enjoy. It shows thoughtfulness, and, yes, effort.
