I'm in Sydney but I leave on the 16th. Sad day.

Don't do what Johnny Don't does.

If she had given me a great time and we both clicked, money wouldn't really matter. I took a girl out to Red Lobster once though, and she ordered appetizers, a variety of drinks, and the most expensive meal on the menu, plus dessert. What's worse, she was very ungrateful and complained the whole time or talked on her cellphone. THOSE are where I draw the line. I'm a nice guym so I payed for it all without complaining, but I never dated her again, obviously.... But yeah, you shouldn't feel pressured to order something cheap, just order what you feel like, expensive or not, and try to work with your date to make the outing a fun one. And if there's just no chemistry, at least you met a new person =]
