[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have nothing to really offer because I have never dated, and I just find these threads fascinating and illuminating.

But if I were dating, I would not want the guy to pay for a first date; I wouldn't want him to think I owed him anything.

And drinks would be best. i don't want to sit through a first date trying to talk and shovel food in my mouth.

Maybe that's because I am an old married and I am used pigging out around the spouse!

Dear Anna Duggar, You should get out there and try dating.  It's not as bad as DCUM makes it sound, and it's much better than what you have now![/quote]

I am okay, thanks. I met my husband almost thirty years ago while we were in high school, and things seemed to have worked out. If you can believe it, I have advanced degrees, a career, one child, and a f--- ton of fun. I have just never dated. Sue me. But I do believe my opinion may be less informed than those in the scene.[/quote]

You dated your husband, pre-marriage, that counts.

You're right. But I was 14 and our dates were limited to his mom driving us to a movie, make out sessions in my basement, homecomings, and group date/hangs at the all night diner.
But I do have enough friends who have dated as adults, and none of them liked the man to pay on the first date. It is split on whether they want to sit through an entire meal. Some find it relaxing, others who have had stinker dates have describe d long meals as tortuous. YMMV. [/quote]
