  • You take a woman out to dinner and if it's the same place another man took her you now have increased your problems. I agree with the trads who say no courtship unless you are ready for marriage within 1 year and a chaperone is required for dates. I don't think the maidens understand how disturbing/disgusting it is for a man to want to take lady out but she has already done those things with another man.
    I have no idea who this is, but I’ll speak for myself as a woman. I’m not looking for a husband, but I would not object to being taken to the same place by two different men. What if you live in an area where there are few or only one restaurant? You seem to assume the worst possible scenario, that every woman is looking for a free meal, is a pants wearing feminist with impossibly high standards and whose father is a tyrannical Boomer with a huge bank account! 
    Hopefully, you’ve at least chatted with this woman first and found one another friendly, not just ask her, cold, on a dinner date! If that’s too risky or too expensive, why not ask her to go out for a coffee at Starbucks or a similar, less expensive place? McDonalds has good coffee and if she’s a definite no, you haven’t lost much!

  • On one hand you shouldn't eat McDonalds slop..but on the other hand a lady who agrees to go there on a first date is probably frugal and humble :cowboy:

  • It is a loss, a loss of time and money for the man. Also modern girls go on dinner dates for free meals with no intention of having a relationship with the man. Dinner dates are Boomer simping. If a girl is interested she won't care about dinner but will appreciate being with you.
    I could not imagine going on a date just for a free dinner. I hope you don’t run into those types of women. Surely most trad girls aren’t this way. 

    You are absolutely right. A genuine lady isn’t concerned about the details surrounding dinner, but being with you. 

    I don’t know what boomer simping  is!! Lol

    I still think dinner isn’t a bad thing for a first date if you know enough of the gal to know she’s not like one of the women you described.

  • Is McDonald’s ok as a first date if the man has to pay?
    Yes! 

    Before my husband and I even went on our first “date” he told me on no uncertain terms that he was not well off, but he had a house and he got his bills paid. He also informed me that I would have to be frugal if we married and that I would have to do without a lot. He definately did not beat around the bush, he just came out and said it. That was fine with me. Therefore, if he suggested taking me somewhere very fancy and high priced on our first date or any date I would think he was a fool for spending outside of his means. We still have never ate out at a fancy restaurant. :laugh1:

    So, if she’s interested in you, or loves you even before your first date (like I did him), she would not care at all. She would just be thrilled to be with you.

    Might be a good litmus test, eh? :laugh2:

    But no halvsies, you should pick up the whole bill.

    You don’t need to eat any food. Just get one of their drinks.

    So how handsome is your husband?

    Just wondering how long did you know him for before you loved him? And how did you know you loved him?

    Average. He has scars on his face. That might have been a deterrent for some women? I’m not sure, but it was a non issue for me.

    About a month. We found each other on Catholic Match, and he came to visit me 5 weeks later. I lived 5 hours away.  I knew that first visit. I didn’t have nerves, butterflies or anything like that. We had pretty much all the important conversations online or over the phone. When he came it was like visiting with an old friend who I had known forever. 100% natural. When I thought about marrying him, there was no reservation only hopeful expectation. He proposed a month later. 

    I had actually met him one time a couple years before at a New Year’s Eve party. Also, a mutual friend was his closest friend, so I definately wasn’t flying blind.

  • Considering that our Lord started His public ministry at the age of 30, perhaps 30 is the ideal age for a man to marry?
