I make a mean loaded Guacamole dip - does that count? I also make a mean Chinese food cook - happy when I pay them for food they would serve! LOL :eek: - No, but I do cook entrees well - not the desserts so much, or deserts to be more accurate - flavor wise...LOL :p:) - If Jesus came to my desserts or deserts He wouldn't be tempted at all! LOL

Scenario: you are going on a date with someone that you are very interested and invested in. You’ve known them for a while now, say 2-3 months, and you both finally agree to go on this special date.

In terms of expenses (travel, food, venue, etc) who should pay for the date? Her? Him? Both?

Myth: there’s always been that myth that ‘men should pay’ as it’s a gentlemen’s approach or tradition. Do you agree?

Real life experiences: feel free to share any real life experiences that you’ve had in this area that might be of good advice for those who haven’t experienced this area yet.

Overall, I’m interested to see some answers and/or experiences. View attachment 185183

I'd pose an answer scenario. A short time knowing the special person for the upcoming date.
Question. Posted as "Q" after this. What makes this person special?
Q: Knowing them for 2 to 3 months, where did they first meet? Q: Have they met face to face prior to the scheduled date?

Answer: I'd meet this person for that first date at the location for the date to take place. Restaurant, theater, etc...
A: I'd pre-arrange we both pay for the date.
Experience sharing here: There are some people who believe if they pay for anything on a date then their date partner owes them. That can be dangerous. That's why meeting at the date location is ideal for personal security since the person will then not know where the other person lays their head at night. When they're vulnerable to some perceived worthiness of revenge for not "paying back" their share of what their date paid for in public at the restaurant, theater, etc...

Note: If this special date is taking place with someone met on-line, absolutely take every precaution. A serial killer used Craig's List to find his victims. The Net is a very dark place.

You don’t know what apple crumble is? It’s like apple pie but you leave
the pastry in its crumble state (don’t make it into dough) and spread it
over the Apple. It goes all golden and crunchy.

Jewel - you need to go back and erase the thumbs up you gave me - and give me a heart - it will be your first heart given - and I would be delighted to your inaugural first heart given - LOL. I am curious why you only give out hundreds of thumbs up and no hearts? :unsure::whistle::unsure: - Is it because it is easier to just click once?
