I've finally owned up to the truth...I am definitely not a cheap date. I'm sorry fellas, but I have tried to be accommodating to those with tight budgets, but unfortunately I have champagne tastes. Because of my diet (I'm vegan), the thought of going to chain restaurant sickens me... Last week a brother asked me out, and because of scheduling conflicts we didn't go...but do you know what his suggestion was...Fridays. Fridays, Olive Garden, Chili's, etc is fine for grabbing something to eat while you are shopping at the mall. To me, it is in the same category as food court fare...tolerable at best. I can't help it, I'm used to gourmet food. My mother is a personal chef (among her many talents and professions) and whenever my mother cooked, it was an adventure. Can you imagine, I grew up in the hood, but the majority of the time I always had dinner with fresh flowers adorning the table, nice china, and matching linen tablecloths and napkins. The food was always aesthetically and palate pleasing. I grew up with an affinity for good food, good company and great conversation. Dinner has always and continues to be an "event." So, as you can imagine, when a guy offers dinner at a place that has the ambiance of a wet sock, I am completely turned off.
On that note, anyone want to take me to Duvet next time I'm in NYC?
lol @ Olive Garden...I ate there last night with my best friend from High School. I will not appreciate it if a guy takes me there on a date. Do not take me to any restaurant where you can find their frozen dinners in the freezer aisle in the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteI'm not an expensive date...but I do forewarn...I can eat my behind off. I eat alot and have no shame lol so fellas have to be forewarned.
LMAO @ "Do not take me to any restaurant where you can find their frozen dinners in the freezer aisle in the grocery store." Too true girl, you speak the truth.
ReplyDeleteGirl there isn't anything wrong with wanting the finer things in life.My boyfriend can tell you that I am definitely not a cheap date. I am not a chain person either. I tend to love the bistros and cafes and other eateries you can find around the city (maybe that's why I don't think I can ever leave NY). Let me know when you are in NYC again.
ReplyDeleteI love the Olive Garden...I preferably like a meal where you can sit down and the people bring you your food. It doesn't have to be super expensive--just not going somewhere where they call out your number and your date goes to "get the tray"...how romantic, right?
