I don't have much money to take someone out on a date. I however am an excellent cook and I own a huge 60" tv and I have over 1000 HD movies. I only rent a room and my tv and such are in my room. I feel a girl should love me for who I am and not for my income, but it is hard for me to overlook. If I suggest a date at my place with a gourmet dinner and a movie how would a woman react to such a suggestion? And does anyone have any other ideas for a date? I have checked kijiji and I do find free events from time to time which are nice like free sailing lessons. But those are not as frequent as I would like to count on for date locations. I am creative, but I do need some help on ideas.

That might work when you've been on several dates. Going to a man's place on the first date is inviting trouble.

The OP didn't say anything about a family, he's talking about a first date idea.

Good to know the key thing that obviously "some" women are looking for first, before the quality of the guy at hand. slaphead

With that said, I will agree that a first date back at guy's place is inviting trouble for said woman/man. surprised

I would suggest using your cooking skills and prepare a picnic. It's a way to show your cooking skill, without being creepy. At least I think....ohwell

I was not meaning an attack on anyone. I simply was implying the OP's sentiments about a woman liking or loving him for who he is, not his income.

I apologize if offense was taken. flowerforyou

Another possible idea if you're willing, would be a school carnival, or a church potluck. happy

Wow.. everyone is different & at a different place in life.

Just as some men are thought of & accursed of ' thinking only with their penis' ( wanting young & attractive) Some women are accused of thinking in terms of money & property.

Women- the bearers of children- should be thinking about a man's financial status if she ever wants a family. And she has the right to choose financial security for herself : children or future children. And to live a lifestyle she is accustomed or desires.

Men- have the right to seek women they are attracted too,for whatever reason.

alright I will chime in my two cents on this

when you are say young 18-24 and in college and broke
and you want to go on a date
I think it's just kinda understood that no one has a lot of money
so you come up with creative things to do

walk in park, maybe cook some hot dogs, marshmellows
push her on the swing, talk, laugh


when you are older and darling I am older
it depends...if a man has recently gone through a divorce and is paying alimony, child support and his spouse got the house
then you must take that into consideration

but if he is say 45 and at this point has been working since 18 but yet has nothing to show for it?

that might raise a few eyebrows on where he has been spending his money
or why he is living in a van down by the river happy

Yes,something else women have to consider. If a guy is paying alimony & child support & has a lot of debt.
If a woman marries a guy with these financial issues, she then becomes last on his list ( in many ways) & in many cases becomes legally responsible for his debt.

believe it or not one of the nicest low dollar first dates
that will usually go over well is a museum or and art gallery.
nice dress is acceptable and you actually get to talk and learn about each other and what your looking at provides cover for those awkward silences:wink:

Would it not depend on the type of woman you are going out with?
Put a creative twist on something of her interests... Nature, culture, food, animals, hobbies?
There are lots things you can do together that doesnt need big bucks.

Great job Eric... there are so many low cost date ideas..
Picnic's, parks,

I also have to agree I would never go to the guys house for a first date that just isn't a safe idea for anyone involved
