Question to both women and men that are dating..

Totally agree with Chris - if someone is expecting it then they really arent the person you want to be with - whether its a burger at a zoo or high on top of a revolving restaurant or 200$ plate - no matter where you are, you're together. Someone who expects it isnt someone who expects a long term relationship since when reality sets in, none of us can afford expensive or cheap nights out all the time.

I do not agree. Some of my best (and in some cases longest) relationships have been with girls that have "high standards". High standards in that they pretty much had their mind set on more upscale places.

Ofcourse, since my fav places are those kinda joints.. It was all cool.

The tendency I noticed with all these ladies is that over time - things "mellow" done a bit. So grabbing a hot dog from the street corner or a pizza can be ok. But out of all the ladies Ive been dating except for a handful - almost all expect (atleast for the first period of dating) something more upscale and "nice".


Again, im not after a right or wrong answer cause there is none. I think it is very interesting to see how others think or do when dating.

One thing I think MIGHT play a part in this is country/big city or small town.

I dont like to lump people into categories but I do notice that girls Ive dated that originally come from smaller towns - are more mellow and cool. While Big city ladies are more used to comfort, high standards and what not.. So they kinda expect that. :-)
