It must be tough figuring out what to do for a date without spending too much money. This $20 date originated spontaneously on a date I had 3 months ago and has worked like a charm ever since.

Note: Only use this AFTER a first date or after you've gotten to know her a little bit. It might be a little too much for a first date.

HOW IT WORKS:
When you're on the phone with her, tell her to meet you at the local department store. Wal-Mart and Target will work fine. Tell her "I need to pick up some toothpaste. Oh and bring $20." (It doesn't really matter what you tell her you need to pick up. Anything will work. Just don't say something weird like you need to pick up a jockstrap. If she asks you why she needs to bring $20, just dodge the question and say "you'll see")

When she meets you, greet her with 2 shopping baskets. (One shopping basket for each of you)

Tell her "What we're gonna do is buy each other little gifts. Then we're going to go back to my house and exchange them and tell each other why we chose the gift(s). It's better if the gift(s) are funny, but don't put too much thought into it. It's also better if you get a few little gifts instead of one big gift. The rules are: 1) you can't spend more than $20 2) You can't follow me and I can't follow you. If I see you I'm going to turn around and walk the other way and 3) We each have 30 minutes to shop"

WHY IT WORKS:
She then spends the next half hour thinking about ONLY YOU and how to make YOU laugh

You can definitely flirt and tease her through your gifts. Here are some ideas:
- Oversized bras and/or panties
- A book on kama sutra
- Water guns
- Leg stockings
- Funny socks
- Shower cap
- Hair clips
- Play doh
- Condoms
You get the idea. Everything should have a good/flirty vibe to it. Nothing too serious, nothing too sappy. You're not trying to give her the world here. You're just having fun.

When you're back at your house, you can play with whatever gifts you both got each other like little kids. Trust me, she will play along. You can even make her wear some of the stuff that you got her. She'll probably ask the same of you.

When you explain the gifts, you can be creative with the reason you got the gift. Some of your explanations should make her laugh her ass off. Of course, don't offend her in with your explanations. Teasing is ok, but don't take it overboard or else it's game over.

You can make some of your gifts imply sex, so you're kinda of being direct and indirect at the same time. You can gauge her reaction to the sexier gifts that you got her and you can quickly escalate if you think she's down to get down.

She will never forget the date and will probably brag to all her friends about you.

Whenever she thinks of you, she will think of all the fun she had with you during the date.

You separate yourself entirely from all the other guys that she's dated by being original, unpredictable, and fun. When they're buying her expensive and boring dinners for $100 you're spending $20 or less AND you're getting reimbursed with the gifts she gets you. You don't lose.

The only way you would lose is if you break the rules and get her something that implies that you're like all the other AFCs she's dated.

FINAL NOTE
Do not spoil the gifts by letting her see what's in your basket before getting to your house. The element of surprise is key. If you must, buy something to use to cover your basket when checking out.


Hope this helps some of you guys!

Prob will depend on the type of girl your doing this with, but not that shabby non the less. thx.

That's really cool, I wish I had thought of it. I'll have to try it out. Do you think any gifts could work as negs, or is that a bad idea?

Looks fun! I'll have to try it!

Yeah a gift as a neg could definitely work but it really depends on the girl. Usually negs work well with girls that get hit on a lot. If she doesn't get hit on a lot a neg could be pretty devastating to her since her self esteem isn't too high.

Try it out and let me know what happens!

This looks totally awesome !!!! its a fantastic idea, I really do wanna try this out so soon with a girl. maybe this weekend

Field tested and majorly approved...the girl I did this with said it was the best date shes had and she really couldnt stop smiling...I asked her to rate the experience as I told her its the first time I had done it. She gave it a 9

Legendary

This worked a beauty.
Cheers mate

Did you end up sleeping with her?

I might be totally wrong on this one, or be old fashioned(by the way I'm young, mid 20's), but the idea of telling a girl to bring mobey on a date just seems cheap. I totally get the idea of getting her to use her own money because it gets her to invest in you, and everyone knows that the more you have invested in something the more you generate a sense of wanting a return. I don't know. Have you guys ever gotten a bad response from a girl by telling her she's going to be spending her money when you go out? I'm really curious about this.

You wanna know what the best $20 date is? Her name's Melissa walks around a few street down. I wanted to fuck her but she said 40 and i heard u shouldn't pay 40 for a date so i saiid what do you think i am a chump?!?!

That's awesome! That's pretty much the same response I always get.

Glad to hear it worked for you!

No not at all and it really depends on how you phrase it. First, she doesn't really know she's going on a date because she thinks she's just meeting you at a department store. This has casual written all over it which will better your chances of actually hooking up with her because there's not as much pressure as a "traditional date." And if you tell her to bring money in a playful tone like you know she she's going to have fun with you, it always works. I also don't think it's cheap at all. Money is not the only thing I have that I can demonstrate value with so I don't consider it such a big deal if she's spending a few bucks. Occasionally, I'll joke around with girls telling them that they have to buy me a big mac for losing a bet.

Also, keep in mind that what never works is when you shower girls with money. First, every other guy does that. Second ,she'll get used to being pampered and will probably end up using you.

Hope that clarifies things a little bit.

It's the same principle as not buying a girl drinks at the bar when you are trying to build rapport/close. She's not a hooker, why are you spending money on her?

Awesome idea! Im going to try this on one of the girls im talking to. Would you go for like 25% sex implied items and about 75% fun gifts or however you feel the situation is?

That's EXACTLY how I think of it when it comes to spending money on girls. If you've spent $200-300 on a girl already, you're basically paying for sex. Actually, you're basically paying for a CHANCE at having sex. You're probably better off hiring a hooker for a GUARANTEE at having sex. Not really into hookers or anything, but I'm just sayin...
I would say it's however you feel the situation is. I've never been an advocate of strict percentages because everything really depends on the girl. But if I had to choose a percentage I would say 25% sex implied items and 75% fun gifts would be a pretty good mix.

Let me know how things go!
