"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Two separate checks plz

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

If she is worth going out with, she is worth picking up the check. It sends a very, very bad message to a woman. Is it a double standard? Yes. It is just how the game is played. If she is to ultimately submit to you, you need to pick up the check on a date.

First dates should never be dinner anyway. They should be action dates, perhaps with a lunch thrown in.

Well once the time to pay comes it means I have all the info I need about the girl.

If she is not worth, shows low interested or busted my balls I have no problem at all to ask 2 different checks and the waitress in front of her.

Atom has a point but we come from two different generations and I simply adapted to the current world for my age group.

Personally toward the end of date 1 I can make a 90% accurate evaluation of the outcome of such interaction.
No need to waste money even few euros nor give the wrong message that no matter what, she is entitled to anything....only exception would for girls who are super polite and nice even if I dont like them.

If your goal is not to get laid then by all means split the check. Just how it is...

You can gauge where things are going by the time dinner and drinks are over. If you don't think it's going anywhere then by all means split the check. Also, you should probably have bumped uglies by the time you are treating to moderately expensive dinners so in the end it's a wash.
