I like your answer. I had a dude call me up for lunch once talking about his two for one coupon. I was thinking to myself, why are YOU calling me if YOU don't think YOU can afford me?

He was calling me for a lunch date. That meant he was deciding where to go and how much to spend. I didn't get where he was going with it. I had never had a guy do that before nor since. I let him and his 2/1 coupon go right on about their business. And it was just as well. Found out later he had a girlfriend already and was looking for a sidepiece and trying to be cheap about it. smh

When someone, anyone says to you "I want to/can only spend x amount on you" it makes you feel cheap. It's also a warning sign that they are selfish. They put things before people. When my sisters and I were young and broke we made a dollar out of 15 cents and made miracles happen when Christmas rolled around. If you are witty,resourceful and romantic enough you can knock someone off their feet without breaking the bank.

Great answer....i got called cheap etc. when I told folks that I purposely tried to spend no money on a first date. It wasnt bc I couldn't afford it, or I thought she was worth less.  It made me get my butt up n look outside the box and quite frankly it opened my eyes to things like theatre/jazz/art/etc. I got more smiles n laughs n giggles than when i was spending goo gobs of money for dinner, and a bland afterspot

@CCD

Now if I had known you before and came up on a 2 for 1 at the Mediterranean spot i'd have no problem hitting a woman up and asking. Thing is I'd already had laid the foundation that Im spontaneous etc. So being cheap wouldnt be in the equation.

if a guy told me this, I'd suggest talking on the phone. That would give me an opportunity to see if I even liked his personality, and him a chance to get his money up up for a date the following week. But for real tho, men have money for what they want to have it for. If he says he does not have enough, i'd say he wasn;t that into you. I loved  momocharli or whatever's answer lol. Negros always tryna test the waters.
