Uhh, fuck yeah it's expensive. Do you eat $25 per meal by yourself on a regular basis?
I go to a pho restaurant and order combo B and I get a plate of rice with chicken, choice of spring roll or salad roll and a pop, for $11.25.
Whereas a $25 per person dinner at cactus club will get you a side of kalamari with 2 drinks. Ditch a drink and you can probably upgrade to a burger combo. You want entrees? No drinks for you bitch.
If some chick I date is not choosing the former as a wise choice on a regular weekend, then I don't know.
The dude spent too much on the first and second date, now he's gonna match it every time. Once you tone it down, they'll think you're losing interest or whatever.
In my books, first date shouldn't even be expensive. It's the first time you're hanging out with someone. Go for coffee and get to know each other. Go hiking, ride a bike, play some pool, play some arcades at espot, or browse the dollar store. A lot of my female friends tell me that dinner on the first date is unnecessary, as well as movies. Some even say it's too much.

now the question is, it's valentines next week. it will be our 3rd date. the first two dates had dinners on the more expensive side (~$50). but for valentines i don't want to suddenly cheap out either. was thinking cactus club? should i get her a bouqet? a single rose? chocolates? it sucks that valentines had to come up so early into my 3rd date. i don't want to come off as too eager or move too fast but i don't want to pretend that it's not valentines either.

Just buy a card and a box of chocolates. Bouquet? Too soon. Gifts? Too much, too soon. Play it slow and small, and see how she reacts to simpler things.
