Your last few posts are operating out of fear...to the point you made the weird suggestion to discuss the bill prior to the date.
Elaborate. If she's going to be paying anyway, how is it fearful to tell a girl that you're splitting the bill prior to the date? If she doesn't like it, she will reject the guy making the offer to split it up front. Knowing that, there is no fear of rejection if you put it out there up front.
You are offering to split the bill with women that don't show you enough enthusiasm. There's nothing to lose when you are telling a girl that doesn't show you enough interest to pay her half.
Even when you talk about my "weird suggestion", my original line of thinking has always been...if you invite a girl out on a first date, pay for the activity you cheap bastard. The point behind my statement is if what you want is her to pay, be a man and be up front about it. If she likes you and she values you, she'll agree. If she doesn't like you, she won't. If your goal is to get her to like you, the value that you built on the date will disappear the moment you hint at her paying. You may not care, but why put yourself in that position if you want her to pay?
Yeah Arch, what you're saying is, if the date is going well you pay, if not, then split. I wish you'd stop trying to make your actions deeper than they are. If it really was about equality, or finding that hot, whether a chick is enthusiastic or not would not change your choice on whether to pay.
Sure, if the date isnt going well, might as well go out saving some money. But I have no idea why you'd advise the OP to do what you do when its not going well as the default. Thats like me saying pull your dick out on first dates, when I only pull my dick out when the girl is not feeling me already and there is nothing to lose.
