@Zutto good info my friend.
IMHO it is often better if you set the price.
I have a standard of 50,000 for a date that includes dinner and hotel time.
However I never give the price out until I meet them. I have found that when I meet the girls, you get a feeling. Some are pros, some a complete amateurs. The pros like to nail the deal down in terms of numbers and time, whereas the amateurs are more go with the flow. I’ve had 3 SB first dates on consecutive days this week. First one was OK. But the 2nd 2 were awesome, and made the first one look like shit.
#2 I gave money in an envelope to at the beginning of the date as I knew we’d be spending at least A8 hours together.
#3 had dinner with and then a bar. Asked her if she wanted a drink at my place. I was expecting a no, but she said sure. She got money tucked in her purse when she left.
meeting both of them again this week.
sorry for the long post but the point I wanted to make was that I feel much happier paying what I want to pay rather than what she asks for.
