Hehe I reacted to that too actually, but it felt off topic. Since you broke the ice though, i'd have to agree wholeheartedly. Keeping expenses down for the first date is a good rule, because expensive dates can easily raise expectation levels or make things feel weird. "I shelled out 200 bucks and didnt even get a kiss, what a bitch."
Its a hard thing though, cause guys are taught by the TV that girls like to "wined and dined", and so we get it in our heads that its what girls expect,
even on the first date. But ive had much better experiences when it was something more simple and cosy.
