[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a woman, I would want to know a guy is interested in me. Not putting something out there (whether its a thoughtful gesture or spending some money on a date-doesn't have to be a lot) bothers me. Going on walks is cheap in many ways. He can be taking multiple walks a day, multiple days a week...[/quote]

I mean, if he’s going on this many dates, you can see his viewpoint about not wanting to spend money every time, right?[/quote]

The point is the they need to filter online options out better BEFORE meeting. No one (save someone with zero social life) should be going on so many first dates that they can’t afford it. One might ask why they don’t get beyond the first date so often…[/quote]

It’s not really for you to tell someone else how to date or spend their money. Accept the date or don’t. [/quote]

DP and I agree with this, but at the same time, it’s not for guys to tell women what kind of dates they should accept.  If he doesn’t want to take a woman to dinner on a first date, by all means, don’t!  Just don’t be mad if she declines a walk date.[/quote]

Some people are just willing to accept less. I don’t know if it low self esteem or lack of options.

I’m always surprised at how bad women are willing to be treated including a man not putting in any effort for a first date.[/quote]

Plenty of women on this thread have provided reasons why the would accept or prefer first walking dates. Not a single one has to do with low self esteem or lack of options.

I pity you. You equate money with effort and a measure of treatment. You, and those like you, are examples of people I've advised my kids to avoid dating.

Effort does not require money. Attraction and interest are not amplified by food. A 'walking date' does not mean there are no options or opportunities for refreshments only that you get to know each other while walking rather than seated. I, and many people I know, are nervous on first dates. Movement helps reduce the intensity.[/quote]
