If a woman wants an evening stroll for a first date, I take her on the night before garbage day and we meander through the neighbourhood, looking for treasures.

Incidentally, this way the snack problem is solved, too, in one fell swoop.

Did you know that you can find unused prophilectics, Viagra, and Morning-After-Abortion pills in other people's trash?

I laugh at all who spend all their expensive money on coffee and water. The fools.

What do you do about the George Costanza five second rule? ...


... or is that five minutes?

Do they still have drive in movies?

the last drive-in theater in san antonio closed down (mostly due to on going vandalism in the off season)

There's a drive-in theater in Baltimore.

I dont think we have anymore drive in theaters..sad.

We have a drive-in here in Guthrie, they don't call it "historic Guthrie" for nothin. If you ever go, remember this; families in the front and drunk teens in the back.

Then if you want one, drive into a threatre. Maybe do a mini-demolition-derby with your car or Jeep. Make sure it's at a time when the auditorium is empty.

That will permanently get rid of the seats, and you'll have a drive-in theatre at no extra cost to the theatre owners. They'll praise you for it, the Mayor will present you with a key, and a street will be named after you.

To be fair, women can be confusing these days. Ive seen women yell, scream and curse out men for holding doors open for them. Ive heard women say "I can pay for myself, thank you" and things like that in a very rude tone to shocked looking men in lines....Guys can get confused these days

HOWEVER, I think what the OP was saying was there was a cheap "vibe" about the guy and the way he went about it seemed creepy and she felt uncomfortable because she isn't used to that sort of thing.

He should have just said to you "Hey, I'd like to take you out to the movies but money is tight, I will pay for the flick but how about we get some snacks and sodas and bring them in, are you comfortable with that or do you want to do something else?" Or anything along those lines. There's a way to handle these things and based on the guy and his ways, it could have been something perceived as fun, clever and frugal, but this guy sounds like he just botched the whole thing.

On the other hand, if I was flat broke and wanted to take a woman out, I would save every penny I could to make it enjoyable and if I felt I wasn't able to offer that, Id simply wait a week or two to plan the date until I had enough cash.... Money or not, liberation movement and all, women still want to feel special and appreciated and that they are worth the little bit of effort to make the date enjoyable and if its the man who invites the woman, he should consider that. If the woman invited the man, its a little different and I think thats what it basically comes down to and why the OP felt let down.

I still go by the way I was raised and base my principles around the way in which my Grandfather treated women...And to be honest I watched a lot of old movies as a kid which left an impression upon me.

Dates dont have to cost anything to be a blast but if you take your date to Black Angus and only have enough for breadsticks and water.... You guys get the point.

Im giving OP benefit of the doubt on this one

exactly. showing up and expecting someone to hide food in their purse, he should be ashamed of himself.

hey thats a normal date with me

(Note to self)

actually i have to give him credit i wouldnt have bought two sandwiches i can only eat one

well i can see wanting to save money but really sneaking in sandwiches lol, what about getting a bag of popcorn and sharing? maybe a sode with 2 straws and sharing? come on, really if your that cheap then stay home and watch tv. yea going to the theater is expensive but it's not like you go there everyday, everyone deserves to splurge sometimes and if it's something you like to do, like seeing a movie then spend the money, just don't go overboard.

hahaha
Maybe it was 'Big Spender' day for him :-)

Two sandwiches?!

Flash bastard!

i know he just ruins it for the rest of us now they all expect two sandwiches

Who can afford TWO sandwiches in the current economic climate?!

I am a gentleman, so i'd let my date eat the one sandwich i'd bring. If she'll regurgitate it so i can also eat, i'll know she is a keeper.

A wise man knows when he needs a keeper.
