Question to both women and men that are dating..

Honestly - it has nothing to do with the girl, has everything to do with what you can afford. If in a tight situation - there is nothing like learning to cook and putting together a great meal at home - learn to please her and she'll respect a man who can cook and be romantic by candlelight, soft music - her favorite meat and properly prepared side dishes.

I find if I make something and even if it doesn't turn out as well as I would have hoped, I rack up some major brownie points.

This line has actually worked wonders: "Those guys on the Food Network tricked me! Let's go out for ice cream, there's a cold Stone Creamery about two blocks away..."

Landed me an 'un-girlfriend' that doesn't begrudge me my nerd moments. I also took her out for sushi the first date, so covered my bases.
