I asked her out bye inviting her to my bday party and asking her to play bp with me and she said shed rather kick my ass. so we made a bet and I told her to make the stakes since she was so confident. she would just be really cocky about it in a a cute funny way. She didnt she just kept talking shit how she was going to beat me. So i made the stakes and they were if i win the game I take you ut to dinner and if you win I take you out to dinner. So ya she won. IT was BS though. so today is our date. My question is wel,l i live walking distance to a steak house that is probably one of the nicest places to eat in the town. A meal runs about $30+ a plate. I dont mind the prices but should i not go too the most expensive place to eat in town for a first date. Should i take her to something less formal and more of like a normal restaurant with $10-18 plate dinners? Reply to this Question

 Nope don't go to the most expensive place on your first date and don't go to some cheesy burger dive either. Pick something in between. Save the fancy place for later when she's fallen madly in love with you, and it's her birthday or some equally special occasion.

And then worry about where to take the new girl on a date.

 Don't spend a lot of money on a first date. It won't impress her or make her like you any more. And she might just be trying you out and not want to see you again. So why blow a lot of money?

 Don't take her someplace expensive for the first date, it sets expectations too high and may make her feel uncomfortable. It also seems a little desperate. I had a guy take me on a first date to a place that was $40+/person and insisted on paying and I felt so awkward the whole time that I wound up eating an appetizer and drinking water the whole night. I didn't want to feel like I owed him something for spending money on me. He did not get a second date.
Take her someplace low-mid range. Not so cheap she feels like you aren't interested but not so expensive she'll feel pressured.
