Is this a first date? Do you have a credit card.

I do not know the weather in AZ but it might be too hot for a walk and ice cream. I mean the ice cream might melt before you and your date can eat it.

Girlfriends are for losers who can't download porn.

take her to your moms house and drop her off - tell her you be right back - then hit the bar

Even more so; maybe you should think about selling the bike.
Haha yea right
And normally I have enough money to do the things i enjoy doing but with the economy my job cut my pay almost in half. And I just bailed my friend out of jail (hard to do considering he made a stupid choice) so its just a little tight. Im normally not stingy at all but its def time to sell my jetski and dirtbike

Girlfriend likes to go mountain biking. There are some really nice places to ride in Malibu Canyon.

We go riding whenever her husband is out of town.

First date with my current gf was the driving range. Guess it wasn't all that cheap since it was Top Golf and we went to Bonefish Grill afterwards, but a normal range is fairly cheap. I was just amazed to find a girl that liked to golf.

I've been in the same position lately.

My vote is to go for something such as strawberry picking, a picnic in a park, bring a fisbee maybe, or go to wally world, get some food to cook together, and while you're there pick out a dollar movie in the lil machnie. or find cheap baseball tickets. Maybe minor league or nose-bleeds for the Diamond Backs. I know the Braves have $1 tickets. Just a few ideas

Maybe if you're hanging out with the kind of girl that cares. Mine loves to go out and spend money like the rest of them but she enjoys the cheap "thoughtful" ones probably even more. She puts up with me so that's really all that matters to me anyway.

Money shouldn't have anything to do with "date quality."

If you were to either pack a picnic basket full for $10, or take her to eat for $40, I'd bet she would rather take the first option, or at least "enjoy" them both equally. It's all about how much thought you put into it, not money (Assuming she's not a gold digger, in which case - drop that immediately).

WHy not be honest and tell your your funds are hurting due to the fact of your issues and if she accepts it then cool, if not tell her to F off and means shes def not worth your time!

+1 on teh above.


SInce it's the first date...............I'd go to starbucks (or somewhere like that) and show that you want to sit down and get to know her(if you find her that interesting). While doing that, 'confess' that you werent' sure what to do tonight because you wanted to get to knwo her, but also a tad low on $$ given the bad timing with financially helping a friend out.

That will help with two things....1) you'll see what she's like, both personality and 'greed', and 2) you'll show her that you are secure enough to be open and are 'kind enough' to help a friend in need. Any REAL girl worth dating will see the positiveness in that.


Oh, and while 'talking' you can find out if she's up to 'putt putt' or ice cream or whatever......who knows, maybe she'll be down for a few movies to rent with some popcorn for a cool 'sit in' date.

It's up to you, but that's my two cents.

Find some place you can make a campfire. Get a thermos full of liquid oxygen and some charcoal and starter fluid. Duct tape the thermos to a ten-foot long pole, start the fire, then pour the liquid oxygen over the fire. Get soemone to video tape it and also have some fire extinguishers on hand, and some safety glasses. Makes a hell of a fireworks display. DO NOT soak the charcoal in the liquid oxygen, and DO NOT fail to start the fire BEFORE you apply the liquid oxygen.

You can also have fun with two-liter plastic soda bottles, some water and dry ice. Put a few inches of water in the soda bottle, drop in a chunk of dry ice, quickly apply the lid and throw it away from you as fast and far as you can. It makes a hell of a loud bang, you just won't believe it until you hear it. Don't forget: as soon as you have the lid on firmly, throw that bottle!

Bowling and puttputt are always good, but kinda played out. Go carts are really good but can get pricey.

If you have a 4x4, what works best for me is 4wheeling. We go hop in my truck and hit the hills. Every girl I've ever takin' offroading loved it, and you only have to pay for a tank of gas.

If she's at all athletic I think batting cages are always good fun( if she may have played softball). I took a date that played not so long ago and then I tried to teach her to hit a golf ball.... we ended up renting a movie after and then got dinner and she insisted on paying(I drove and payed for everything else). It's more the conversation and lack of awkward silence that matters on any date, it's not about how much $$$ you spend. If it is about how much $$ you spend you should drop that bitch quick.

My favorite first date ever was when the guy showed up at my house with his T-top camaro (I hate chevy's with a passion too), we went to McDonald's, got some food and then just spent the night cruising car lots looking at new cars. He wanted a new car, and we just spent the night BSing and talking about whatever we could.

I know most girls wouldn't care for going and looking at cars all night. But my favorite part of the whole thing was the fact that it was simple.

First date with my now "ex" was at my place. I cooked him dinner and we spent the night watching movies, talking and getting drunk.

I guess I'm strange, but I prefer a guy who doesn't use money to make me happy. I'm happy that the guy I'm with now understands that. He knows that I'm happiest when I'm a seat cover in his mustang while we're just cruising around, or when we're spending the night out in the garage doing who knows what to one of our cars.

My vote would be to go for a cruise in a car, find a nice scenic place to park and just spend time talking and getting to know each other... if she expects a fancy expensive date that's going to "wow" her then forget about her and find a down to earth girl that doesn't care about money.
