You're describing very established couples style dates, not just started dating dates.

You continue chasing those materialistic people who refuse a low key ice cream/coffee date, I guess. It's your wallet.

If your only way to keep a woman interested is throwing money at it, then that says a lot about you.

Most women want to be treated like a person, not a trophy to be won by hitting an arbitrary budget threshold. Romance is an interaction between two people. The activity doesn't much matter if you're actually connecting.
