The first "date" should be disguised. An outting or something that takes the pressure off both. I would feel more comfortable doing something free outdoors or a comedy show rather than paying for a dinner with a woman that I don't even know. I agree with RichBrand.

What if guys had a rule that stated: the first date must consist of her cooking dinner? We know what...there would be many many more dateless or malnourished men out there. ;-) The longer those women adhere to that "rule", the longer they can expect to order carryout/delivery for one.

Part of my style is to take women out for dinner, whether it's a date or not, and pay for the meal of course. Even if it's a friend I'm not interested in, I consider myself responsible for showing a certain level of provision for the women in my life, whether I date them or not (plus, she will talk you up to her girls). However, if you tell women it's a date, then their expectations change as a result, even if you have interest in them. By not making it a date, it encourages the women to be more of themselves, and take the pressure off the man to feel that he needs to impress you, and he can be more of himself. And let's be real: in this economy, I would rather pay my electric bill than have to use my first date at Grand Luxe on a chick I don't know. But if we do Signature Room, then you know I'm thinking of going all in, but NEITHER is a first date spot. The key with a first date is to not set it up as such.

However, your friends are a little unreasonable. I agree with the underlying premise that a man has to put some thought and effort into the first date so as not to waste our time, but this can come in many forms other than dinner. I like your Jill Scott-esque walk in the park idea. A cute picnic and walk on the beach wouldn't put you in the poor house; rather, it will score you some inexpensive creativity points.
