    if you can accomplish the task with zero spent then you know she actually likes you for you snd not using you, this is the most ideal unless she spends money on you then its almost absolutely true she's interested and willing to invest.


    I would not invest money BEFORE knowing if there's an interest, that's foolish. ask questions

    As much as you want to spend on the date. That's entirely up to you, and if she's not okay with it, she's not right for you. When looking for a long lasting relationship, I don't think the money spent matters, the time spent does, the company does. Spend as much or as little as you want.

    It depends on your age and financial situation. I am engaged now but, when I was dating, I would often spend $75-100 on a first date. Nice dinner at a very nice, somewhat upscale restaurant and perhaps one or two drinks afterwards.

    1. There are certainly objects flying that can't be identified. What they are is a mystery.



    2. Astral projection is mentioned in the bible a few times. I've experienced this myself.



    3. Telepathy is mentioned in the bible as well. I believe its possible but very rare.



    4. Extra Sensory Perception. It's mentioned in the bible and I believe there's at least 7 types. There have been times in the past where I've felt things wrong or danger when there was no logical reason to and these feelings have been correct.



    5. Clairvoyance. Is generally a con job. It's in the bible. Some say that clairvoyance comes from demons and malevolent spirits. There is a thing about genuine clairvoyants & mediums or even quiji boards in that they tell you very general details about the past, dead relatives, stories and they can tell you about the future but they can't tell you anything about the future past a year.



    6. Spirit photography I'm not sure about, if possible there'd be more evidence.



    7. Telekinetic movement. I think it's possible.



    8. full trance mediums. In the bible.



    9. Unlikely. Sorry nessy



    10. Atlantis. Certainly possible. In nearly every ancient culture it speaks of global catastrophes, floods etc and people coming from the sea or sky to teach people how to build civilisations and farm etc. From the Egyptians to the ancient Greeks to the hebrews to assyrians, to Chinese to aztecs, incase and mayans some superior beings has lost their homes and come to teach humans how to better themselves. Now myths change with thousands of years but something happened. The myths say that atlantis sank around 9000 years ago, that's roughly around the time of the end of the last ice age when glaciers melted and sea levels rose, there is probably quite a few atlantises based on quite a few lost great ancient cities that sank under rising sea levels. Everything we know about the history of the world comes from what we find in the ground but the only thing that lasts any length of time is made of stone, for years we've been told that civilisation is only 5000 years old yet the oldest known building is 9,000- 12,000 years old and that humans were farming and domesticated animals by this point which is around the time the ice age ended and of the the myth of atlantis.

    Whatever he's comfortable with.
    I haven't been on a date with anyone but my wife for over 26 years.
    Things weren't as expensive back then and I had a good job. I always paid because I'm a gentleman and felt that the price for whatever we did was paying for my enjoyment. I never looked it as a transaction where my date was getting something from me for free. That's a fucked up attitude.
    I wasn't a cad who expected sex just because I took her out or bought her dinner. I was looking at the long game of establishing a committed relationship. I didn't date just to hook up.

    For me, a first date should be casual. Getting to know each other.
    So not more than a coffe. An ice cream or whatever like that.

    Personally I prefer something low-effort as a walk in the park or similar. Especially if it's first time meeting each other.

    The most a man should spend on a date has to do with why type of date it is and how much the man can afford and if the woman says, let's pay for ourselves and the two decide how much each can afford.

    It's not all dumped on the man. Women have jobs and can pay for dates too. The couple should decide.

    Not a god damn thing!
    If she's hungry she can buy.
    I don't buy anything other than possibly some alcohol or drugs until after we have sex, then I'll buy her anything within reason and if we together for long time, I'd buy her anything she wants.

    It really depends on a lot of things. But for a first date for a girl you just met?

    Coffee date, she pays her half.

    If she doesn't, she's not worth your time...

      @strateguy632 I understand but even then, if you asked her out, it means you already like her... I'm not saying you need to spend a lot of money, the date shouldn't be about that. It should be about getting to know each other and having a good time I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

      In my opinion, it would be the best if the guy picks the place, if he plans the date which he can afford and pay for it. It doesn't have to be expensive. But I also think the girl should be somewhat modest and not completely entitled like that one in the video, I really don't like her logic. 😂 I also don't use a lot of makeup and products like all of my makeup together costs much less than 200$.

      With my current boyfriend, I didn't even really have a first date. We went swimming with a group of friends and I didn't wear any makeup and my hair was wet when he kissed me so I don't think that's what you need in order to get a boyfriend. 😂😂😂

    If she's not willing to spend time with you for its own sake, then she probably isn't that into you.

    I think it depends on how much you want to fuck her.

    For an average girl I'd pay average price for a dinner. I do tend to ask girls out to dinner - works for me I find. Don't tend to do coffee dates because they don't tend to have afterwards.

    It’s relative. Dinner with drinks at a nice restaurant followed by a movie with snacks or dessert, for two? Maybe $200. That may be a bit involved for a first date. A nice lunch, get to know you drinks, or just a movie? Probably $50-100.
