So I'm on a "date" with a guy at an ice cream place

We are meeting for the first time. He didn't even offer to buy me the ice cream. Im kinda turned off but I'm going to assume he's low on cash

Uh, that’s cringy. First dates are so weird like that. I think the guy needs to at least offer to pay on a first date especially if he asked you out.
I will add, but I also don’t think a guy should have to pay for every date.

@Stark your date where he couldn't afford $3 for a walk in the park was funny as shit
I think is okay for a meetup. If they’ve met online and haven’t met in person yet. @SW-User

@SW-User What? That's awesome. 😂
@Spoiledbrat well i wouldn’t consider it a date then 😅 just meeting up to get to know each other. Idk that seems complicated.
@Straylight @SW-User lol yeah. I have a lot of weird first date stories. Well not a lot of weird ones, because that was probably the worse ones. The other ones weren’t bad the guys were just cringy. That one the guy wanted to go on a date to this hiking ground thing we have here. It’s really popular, and neither of us have ever been before. So he thought it would be a cool experience. We get there, and he didn’t realize it was 4 dollars a person. He thought it’d be free. He said he only had 13 bucks in his bank account and he was 29 at the time. 😬 it was super awkward. He had a lot of other red flags, but I ignored them. This one was kind of the last straw for me. 😂 I wasn’t going to spend my money when you asked me out. It’d be different if the situation was different. I’d pay under different circumstances, but that was a no go. We’re still friends tho 🤣 we follow each other on snap. He had a lot of other weird problems too. He’s an art major so was broke and in a lot of debt.
@SW-User tell me about your dates 👀. I feel like they’d be awkward

@Stark That's rough, but maybe he should have factored that in before going on a date.
SW-User
@Stark honestly i don't think i've had an awkward first date
@Straylight That’s what I’m saying. Also, if you’re that low in life you might want to be focusing on other things rather than dates. 😅 it was really just the whole situation with him that was bad not even so much the date part just everything.

I’m a simple person honestly, and you can do a lot on dates without spending any money and it still be fun and memorable. One of my favorite dates I went on was at the park, and we bought lunch and drinks, and drew and exchanged music with each other the whole time. It was nice.
@SW-User 🤔 maybe you’re different than what I think in person. Do you have a date you enjoyed a lot ? Or were they all basic ? I feel like most dates are kind of basic unless you get creative or think outside the box. Or unless something weird or funny happens during them.
SW-User
@Stark i go really basic for first dates, like coffee/tea. i just wanna get a feel for the other person without risking a whole lot lol.
@SW-User I guess I understand that. It sounds like something old people do tho 🤭
SW-User
@Stark wat if u plan an elaborate date and u know u don't like the other person off the hop? do u still go through with it?
@SW-User I mean what do you consider to be elaborate? I don’t think putting thought into the date means it has to be elaborate. I would just do something fun based off of what we both have an interest in considering you’ve spoken a bit before actually going on a date lol. I don’t think you have to spend a lot of money or have a fancy date for it to be fun and creative. I think the more thought you put into it then it’s likely to increase the chances of you guys having a good time.
SW-User
@Stark what if u were on a first date and having a good time and u like the guy, but when he pays for the meal a condom falls out his wallet?

@SW-User dude is prepared
SW-User
@Elegy creep 🙀
Elegy · 46-50
@SW-User Prepared creep
@SW-User i think both women and men should carry condoms honestly. I think it just means they’re smart not some sex craved creep. It’d be creepy if it was used or something. Lol

@Stark zactly!
SW-User
@Elegy @Stark ur both creeps 🙀
@SW-User lol you’re just an unprepared creep. You’re still a creeep tho
SW-User
