The entire year, I've never had to worry about team appetizers debate.
It's always been a late date around 9 and 1 round of drinks, which I don't give a shit paying for. I never paid for food.
I go to dive bars and local spots where drinks are cheap or happy hour is in effect. If the girls interesting and cute, sure I'll buy the round, maybe have her buy the second, hell sometimes she'll pay the entire tab or split it without even saying anything.
If she lags, I'll jokingly say she's buying the first round - I've never had a girl not get the first round after being late or flaked on.
I always eject after first round if the date is boring, bait isn't hooking, or I'm just not feeling it.
If I'm unsure about the date, I'll meet at a Starbucks, I don't even fucking buy anything, but let them grab themselves something. I just tell them it's an easy place to meet.
I've struggled with 1 girl who wanted me to pick her up and take her dinner, she told me to the a gentleman, I told her start acting like a lady, obviously she didn't like that.
I'm currently dealing with a cute latin girl who suggested I come pick her up after I gym (30 minutes from work/45-50 from home). I scoffed at the idea in my head. We talked above about how the hotter the girl is, the more shit we're willing to let slide.
I stuck to my guns, told her first meet, halfway, if she's cool, we'll talk near her. Then I negged her, asking does she not drive or have a car to use ? So we'll see how that pans out first before making a decision to drive to her.
If it's a plate or a girl I've gone a few dates, I don't mind paying ever so often, but I make sure she knows she should be putting in work and paying ever so often also.
