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?

My thoughts are these, you cite an awful lot of rules in your threads. Who made you the grand ruler of relationships and dating?

She goes wherever I take her. I'm open to suggestions, but if it's to expensive either we split the bill or we're not going. I don't go by "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."

Like not taking a vegetarian to Outback for a steak?

And noise level and lighting and how good their drinks are.

That you don't get many second dates.

Wrong, you can take her anywhere.

If she turns her nose up, she's a b*tch anyways.

I never liked rules.

Im interested in the person, not the place.

A generic chain like Applebees is never an option for me..But I'll take a woman (who can afford all the fine dining and quality food she wants) to a taco truck if that's the kind of date we're having.

(Hanging out, eating tacos from a truck sounds like a better date than some lame ass fine dining experience.)

My rule is to stay under $40-50 for the total bill.

How does one assess the 'level of the woman' he is going on a date with? How does one determine which restaurants are acceptable for the level of woman?

Personally, I make suggestions based on my experiences, location (mutually convenient), places either one of us may be interested in visiting, etc. I do not go for the absolute cheapest, though I do regret the couple times I ended up somewhere that was on the high end (neither date went that well and neither ended up in a 2nd date, so it wasn't worth the expense).
