What is the difference between an expensive date and an inexpensive date?

The amount of money you have left in your pocket afterwards.

In a perfect world the more you spent on a woman the stronger her affection, yet with women in general before the date even starts as a man she is going to have put you in 1 of 3 different categories:

1. She Likes You
2. She Doesn't Really Know
3. She Doesn't Like You

Okay, so now that you know the three different categories let's go over each one and why the best bet for you will be keeping it under $20 with each.

She Likes You: As a man you should go into every date including the first with the belief that the woman you are going out with likes you and is going to enjoy spending time with you. Now when you are coming form this frame of mind it is going to be easy for you to keep it under $20 because essentially you will be doing the things you normally would do. Just in case you think you don't do much here is a short list:

• Watch a movie at yours or her house
• Batting Cages
• Ice Cream
• Local Festival
• Open Mike Night

The list is pretty much endless even going grocery shopping or to the store will be considered fun if the girl likes you its you not where that is exciting to her.

She Doesn't Really Know: Hopefully if you already took my advice and are under the belief that she likes you, yet the reality is often going to be that she doesn't really know. In her mind you seem to be really fun, cool, or whatever you might have and then there is a part of her that just doesn't know.

Now imagine you show up take her out and wine and dine her on a first date and spare no expense. Obviously you have nothing to offer her because this was the time to show it and instead you tried and impress her with gifts and money both of which most men can offer this isn't going to excite her. In fact all you have done is raise her value and lower yours; since you where already borderline you have conveniently raised the bar and lowered yourself in one quick night. Well what if instead you took her to your usual things and exhibited all those things she was attracted to in the first place raising your value and as a side benefit having a good time as well.

More often than not you are going to find yourself in the "She Likes You" category and if not well at least you had a good time which should be your goal in the first place.

She Doesn't Like You: Some women have figured out that there are men out there who will feed them, buy them nice things and take them to nice places with only the hope of it going somewhere.

Which is perfectly okay and as a man know that a woman who doesn't find you attractive won't find you attractive no matter how much you "buy them" in fact she will put up with you in direct proportion of how much she gets from you?

If you take a woman who doesn't like you to the grocery store expect her to leave early, which for you will be a good thing because the only thing she is about is what she can get and no REAL MAN ever wants that.
