So I do suspect she hasn't confirmed to herself that she is all that excited about it. There's nothing wrong with that, especially for a first date.

RE: Paying and Obligation
Your expectation that you will pay for the date entitles you to nothing. Over and out.
BINGO and now that's why I will start using sick relatives as a excuse because no one will ever question it.

One of them admitted to being too busy for dating, and we left it at that. We are now friends. Even though I haven't seen her since our last "date".
The other woman and I had a third date planned for a Sunday afternoon a few weeks back. We were to make contact on saturday for official plans, due to things like weather and so on. I was hoping to do something spontaneous and fun. I never heard from her. I texted her on sunday basically saying "hi, looks like we won't be getting together today." she responded, "yea, the weekend went by fast for me." I then decided this woman wasn't showing me interest, and since she didn't even care to contact me on saturday for planning for sunday, I wished her well and said my good bye.
For me, I have run into some people that have no problem meeting up for dinner, and then they don't care to contact me to express interest in ME. That is why from now on, my dates with new women will be much more casual, and cost me much less money. At this point, I want to know that the woman is interested in ME, not the free to them, good tasting, expensive to me, meal they are getting.
Unless of course I am dieing for a steak or some really good italain, then whoever I am seeing at that point gets a treat. But that decision to do the expensive dinner is FOR ME, not because I am trying to entertain or impress my date.
I know lots of women like that as well.

A word of advice. On your first date DO NOT take a woman to the movies our out to dinner. If it doesn't work out then you.ve wasted time and money. What are some things that you like do? Your in a big city, do something fun like going to museum or an amusement park. I had dates at the mall and at best buy. Switch it up.
