come on. suggesting that she may be hoping for a free meal from a stranger...really? i see posts like this and it's starting to pmo. i find it hard to believe that someone signs up for online dating so that they can get a free dinner from a stranger. i have gone on dinners for first dates, not my first choice, but i have done it and it definitely wasn't so that i could get a free meal out of some poor sap.

to me, going for ice cream on a sunny hot summer day sounds nice. i would go for that. this woman didn't feel the same. i personally don't like dinner for a first date. that's too long to sit at a table and eat with a stranger! what if i don't like him at all? no free meal is worth sitting there with someone i can't wait to be done with. and btw i add my money in every time if it is someone that i do not like at all. every single time the guy will try to refuse me giving him money for my own dinner. sometimes i force it sometimes i don't. if it is someone that i like, i am not as eager to try to force my own money. if i like him, i am more likely to let him pay. hmmm....maybe i should think why that is....i think i just learned something about myself.

i prefer a drink or coffee and yeah ice cream, over something like dinner or a museum. i love museums. but going to one and walking around with someone that i may not have any attraction to at all sounds a lot like torture to me.

And yet this piece of work complained she wasn't asked for dinner and a movie?

i just spent the evening periodically reading through this thread. all the off topic talk...i have never had chicken and waffles. maybe i need to try it!

so OP you were only attracted to her picture? if her profile was blank, why would you ask her to meet then?

wow...is all i can come up with. i am thinking that the woman who had a blank profile dodged the bullet here. i was all for the ice cream thing. i live in a beach community. there is a cold stone creamery here and a walk on the pier while enjoying ice cream is quite nice. but after reading through this whole thread and some of the OP's comments...i think that woman is better off moving on. maybe she is someone just looking for a free meal. a blank profile? sucker! really?

hard to say when we don't see the actual communication between these two. obviously we are only seeing one side of it. i'm thinking they are both better off moving on. and also, just because she suggested dinner and a movie over ice cream does not automatically mean that she was expecting that he was going to pay for it all.

personally I would've gone to that dinner thing and see how she is, because text can be misconstrued . However, just because you're going to a dinner date doesn't mean you have to pay 100%.

I've had women hit on me for drinks at bars. Sure, i'll "order" them a drink and once they get it.. they walk away. Thing is, I never said I was paying, so that drink went to their tab they had anyways. im not cheap but I wont be used by ladies at any cost.

but yes, I don't see anything wrong on an ice cream date.

It's a perfectly fine idea. People who are too uptight to indulge in a few extra calories on a special occasion are too uptight to date.

But if you like the woman and she'd prefer lunch or coffee, go for it.

28 pages?? Sorry, I don't have time to read the whole thread, but now that Cazwell song is stuck in my head:

Meet me at the ice cream truck
I'll buy you an ice cream
I'll whip out my drumstick
That will make your eyes gleam

You essentially told her you'd go out on a $5 date.

And I really hope you didn't intend to split the bill..
