Dodging Expensive Dates
Met this girl from tinder, incredibly hot and amazing personality. She probably would be very close to my ideal girl. Went on a first date that was great but I just couldnt escalate, I could feel she was just not there yet. Went on a second date where she came to my place. We made out, but gave me lmr as I brought her to my bed. At the end I fingered for a bit but then she stopped me and said "Sorry, I know this is probably frustrating for you." I kept my chill and told her it was not a big deal. After texting so more she eventually told me "If youre looking for a girl to sleep with that is fine and I understand, I'd just wouldnt be that girl" Now we are making plans to go to a third date and she suggested an expensive brunch place. Now money is not a problem, and I would be very down to see this girl for an actual relationship cause I actually enjoy her company. However, I dont want to go on expensive dates especially if we have only seen eachother twice and have not yet had sex. Screenshot is irrelevant, last few texts were just logistics figuring out the time. Then I suggested a place near my apartment Then she suggested this fancy place. Not sure how to reply. I dont know if I should be very honest and tell her I dont feel like going to a fancy place this early in the relationship or try to suggest a place with better logistics. What do you guys think?
