I think dating is a lost art. Usually the first date is coffee or drinks, maybe second date more drinks...MAYBE dinner. It seems a lot of dates are just hanging out watching TV or whatever. I would love to meet a guy who wanted to really take me out for dates...out to dinner, or cook me dinner...maybe brunch on the weekend! I miss romance! I like being casual and just hanging out or whatever...it's expensive to go out to fancy dinners all the time and I wouldn't expect that, but it would be nice if guys today made a little more effort.
I love how you think! I cannot believe your even still on the market!
We go on a date usually from Friday evening to Sunday evening. We pretty much do everything together for those 48 hours.
Friday, we usually grab fast food after work, then watch some TV.
Saturday, we go out for breakfast, a nice long walk if weather permits, and handle chores.
Sunday, we usually loaf about.
Friday is official Date Night, which almost always consists of a burrito or sub in front of the television.

Yup me to! I like to go out!
The dates can even be cheaper stuff like museums and art galleries. Or of course picnics in the park, trips to the street festival etc.

I would guess about 90% of my dates are similiar tothe bolded. Either a resautarnt, or I cook a meal. And I pay A LOT of the time. EDIT: Oh, and a lot of time an after dinner activity is included. Mini golf, a comedy club, a movie at the theatre...
I am finding that this isnt really helping me out though. In fact, it may be hurting me. I know there are people out there that will be wined and dined without being interested in the other person. I think being 'romantic', if that is what taking someone to dinner is considered has not increased the likelyhood that a woman would be interested in me romantically.
I am considering a severe change to my dating style. I am considering eliminating dinner dates and cooking for someone untill the 5th or 6th date. The first two dates will be very casual, ice cream, coffee, maybe mini golf, some sort of cheap, quick activity. Then dates 3,4,5 would be hanging out at one of our homes/ more cheap but fun activities.
Problem is, I dont know if the woman will appreciate that kind of stuff.
But spending 60-80 on a dinner date for 1st, 2nd dates, while everyone is serial dating is expensive and proabably not worth the 'formal dinner' experience. Maybe casual is better.... anyone take this approach ?

THIS is what I'm talking about.
If I could find a woman that appreciated this, that would be ideal.
So then, is asking someone to... for example; a shooting range, or mini golf, with no mention of a meal still be considered a date? Especially if it is early in the dating process ?
Why wouldn't it? Why would "dating" be defined as sharing a meal?
