Since the dawn of time there have likely been gold diggers but I see so many women expecting men to bend over backwards for them. Now women have the ability to have careers and make just as much or more money than us yet they still expect us to pay for everything and drive to the end of the Earth to hang out with them. It is honestly pretty insane sometimes but a lot of times I try to spend less than $10 for the first date. Simple ice cream dates or like 1 drink and looking through a telescope and just talking. If you can't make her laugh and keep the conversation fresh you are dead in the water regardless. Taking her out for a meal and a movie won't get you any further in getting to know her.
