When meeting a lady for the first time, there is often a dilema concerning whether it is in your best interest to pay for the date. The majority opinion is in favor of a guy always paying for the first date!

Chivalry is not dead, contrary to what you may think. Women sitll appreciate it! If you want to impress a woman, don’t let her pull out her wallet. She will probably not forget it, even though she extended the offer if you allow her to contribute!

Women like to feel that they are being respected. A guy holding the door open and paying for the date makes her feel that you are a true gentleman, even if just a perception. She will go home and tell all her friends how wonderful you seemed!

Dating can be expensive for men. So, a first meet does not have to mean dinner at Seasons 52. Plan a meet at a cafe or wine bar! They are both generally relaxing and fun places to make an introduction.

If you are short on cash, have just one glass of wine. However, you should ask your date if she would like another glass when she has finished. Order a glass of water with your wine and you can sip on that as well!

After you meet and scope out the visuals and see if she passes the chemistry test, you can decide if you want to move forward with a second date.
