I think it's inconsiderate & selfish to order something expensive just to see the reaction of the date. I know someone who orders 2 of the most expensive entrees on first dates. If I was the guy, I would think that person was very shallow & selfish, even if I could afford to buy the whole menu. On a first date, that would tell me, "this person believes in wasting money." And if I was well-off, I still wouldn't want a selfish, inconsiderate person wasting my money. Like the Bible says, "Let your moderation be known to all men." To me, what I eat would be secondary to finding out who this person on the other side of the table is. If it's someone I want to keep dating, and I make a good impression, there will be other chances to "order whatever you want." Why treat it like the last supper, like you won't ever get a chance to eat what you want ever again in your life -- with that person, someone else or alone? Big deal. I think the priorities are in the wrong place for people who think like that.

Simply, because I don't care to go on a date if in fact I can't afford to do so. I would much rather spend a quiet evening among friends and family, or perhaps a homecooked meal.
