No. I even said fish and chips on beach / park which would cost $10
But I get it. That doesn't fit with the little story in your head that all western women are about $$ and Japanese/Asian ones aren't (lol !!! -)
I wasn't even responding to you but aaaanyways. Its nice that you are fine with guys getting you fish and chips. Nope, western women are not all about $$$ they are all about "a guy that is financially stable, hard worker, successful, not stingy, generous, etc."...oh wait, it's the same thing . You might remember all past threads about how bad it is for a man to dare himself to use coupons, take a girl to Arby's, etc. Lots of western women participated in that thread.

I finally convinced my lady friend to let me take her to a nice restaurant I want to try. She seemingly hates formal dates and never really did the normal "dating" thing. I guess I should be thankful she just wants to get together and hang out, but there is something really nice about asking a lovely woman out, planning an evening, picking her up and executing the planned events.
For some of us "western women" a guy using coupons on a date is real panty-dropper

I'm pretty sure I responded in that thread, and many other women did as well saying they wouldn't mind a coupon.
You must have selective reading...you only retain the comments that prove your agenda. Here's a link (and a few posts down someone else has posted even MORE links about coupons on dates).
There were quite a few women that said they wouldn't care, and a bunch of men that said they would never use one....or did you just skim those responses?
Please stop already, with the BS theories you post about western women.

Okay, while each person is different, let's be real. When you ask a woman out on a date do you pay attention to where you take her for dinner? Do you consider the restaurant with the best food? Do you consider the cheapest place you can go?
My thought/rule: You can not suggest restaurants below the level of the woman you are dating. So if she can afford to dine at nice restaurants with quality food, you can't suggest Applebee's as an option.
What are your thoughts?
I get what you are saying. For me personally, I do like to go to nicer restaurants and I can pay my own way there. You need to take people to places in your budget. Just be creative.
Taking me to Applebees is an automatic game over. I do not like chain restaurants. The nearest Applebee's is at least 15 miles away, and for the price of Applebee's there are a zillion tastier and cheaper places. We could have went to the bar with delicious $5 grilled cheese (some people would call that pricy, but they use nice cheese and nice bread) sandwiches. Or got $3 bahn mi in chinatown. I would be so annoyed having to suffer through a meal at Applebees.
But if you have a Pizza Hut budget, that is not a problem. Just don't take me to Pizza Hut.
Well, yeah, of course. I am a food aficionado and restaurateur and so food has likely come up early on and I know what sort of food she likes. If she's a fan of exotic food and has always wanted to try Ethiopian or Indonesian, then we can do that. If she likes casual diner fare, cool. If she's more a fan of upscale dining, then we'll do that.
I'm not likely to drop $250+ for a meal on the first date or anything - that's probably well over the top, and can shoot you in the foot by either making you look like you're flaunting your money around because you're insecure or pompous, or you could be setting yourself up to be used for your cash.
The flipside: I was at a lunchy taqueria in LA, and the guy and girl in the booth next to me were on what I gathered was a first date. The guy was saying, "WOW! This food is so expensive. I never pay this much for food. I shop around to get the best deals and usually see if there are any specials or at least a Groupon. This is way too expensive for two people! I could probably feed us for like a week with the cost of this meal." The most expensive item on the big, luminous menu above the registers was about $8. The girl barely said anything before they left... I have a sinking feeling there was no second date.
I had a date like that. We went out for a coffee first date. He brought his own cup, his own tea bag and asked the barista for hot water. There was no second date.
