Dumb ways to date - do you have any?

For me, if I was actually fortunate enough to have any women interested in dating me, dumb ways to date include anything where a first or second date involves spending large amounts of money because she does (or you think she does) wants to see how much money you have and assess your financial worth to her.

First/second dates are about evaluating the other person to see if they are even worth investing in (and that doesn't straight-up mean with money).. Not extravagence and virtue signalling.
