Expensive First Date

[Yates33]

So this girl I've been talking to, we met at a house gathering and set up a date for Thursday. I invited her to this place I've been dying to go....I usually don't like expensive first dates, but I let this slide because i actualy want to see this. Howeve,r I then saw the actual prices and realized I can't do it. lol

 

So what do you guys think if I just change the idea, that's fine right?

[DivineNess]

yeah, just tell her you found another place that you think is even better (a cheaper one of course but she doesn't have to know).

[Censored]

Yeah, do it earlier rather than later. Just tell her that this new place is special

[capbit]

If she knew you really wanted to go to this place, and changed your mind just because, she might start to think why. Not sure what type of place your event was, but maybe plan something completely different.

[Altruist]

You could be honest with her and suggest that you split the cost between the two of you. Problem solved.

[Konfetkette]

Don't split the cost! And don't tell her it's too expensive for you. Just find a new place and think of any excuse why you want to change places.

I think it's ok to tell her you were mistaken about the prices and you cannot afford it right now. I also think it's ok to change the plan. I would not ask her to split the cost - to me that would be rude since you picked the place not she and she may not even be able to afford her own share if it is that expensive.

I'll second what another poster stated. You don't need to say anything to her about the cost. Tell her you found another place that you're sure both of you will like. No reason to take a girl you hardly know on a super expensive date during the early stages. I'm a fan of keeping things simple early on, because you don't know what's going to happen. You don't need to impress her with expensive dates.

Thanks, I agree with you. This is why I said I never spend alot on first dates...its not my style or way of impressing a girl. This is why I said, this is something I REALLY WANT TO DO...its not to impress her.

 

I am, however, totally against splitting the cost.

 

Anyway, thanks for the feedback, I am sticking with the date either way.
