cool. every first date i have had in the past decade ended with the suggestion we go to a very expensive restaurant afterwards suggested by her, and when I decline or suggest a more modest place she gets very angry about how I have ruined our nice date.

nice walks isn't a thing most single women are interested in anymore. it's regarded as 'not making an effort', and effort is regarded in the expense of the dates. even bowling, axe throwing, are now the 'casual cheap date', but those are all expensive now. renting a bowling lane in my city is $50 per lane per hour.
