Guys, the most important thing to keep in mind is not to overspend on your first date. You might think that splurging helps to impress her so you’ll appear more successful. All you doing is deceiving her because she will expect that in the future if it works out between the 2 of you. You’re digging your own grave.
Money can’t buy long-term happiness, no matter what some people say. By spending wisely on your first date, ensures that she comes back for you and not the moolah. So it’s less complicated for you. If you set a low expectations, you can sweep her off her feet at a later stage.
Having said that, don’t be a cheapskate either, like dinner at a nasi lemak stall followed by chilling at some lake watching idiots doing stupid stunts with their joke of a motorcycle.

Oooo… nasi lemak….
Heh. Is that what YOU did?
Words from a girl, if she doesn’t mind, you can take her out to nasi lemak or late-night football mamak by the 5th date or so, once you got to know her better; so you can get her to know you better.

My first date? 1979. Cost : Exactly S$49.00. Spent on : Three tickets for the movie Ice Castles. Three spaghetti bolonaise. Three cappuccino. One locket pendant. Why three ah you ask? Her younger sister is the chaperon ($%#^&*!!!).
I wonder where she is now…. *sigh*
