Question on woman who proposes dinner date
I live in NYC, met a woman in my dance class, then we casually met for a drink one night. I walked her to her building and leaned in for a kiss but she gave me the cheek. We've been in touch via text since (2 weeks ago). She just proposed that we go to an evening museum exhibit and then to a Cuban restaurant where they have live music. An Uber to the restaurant could be $30. The restaurant is pricey (dinner and drinks for two could be $175-200). I could afford it but don't have a lot of money. She seems pretty cool and I don't know if she will offer to split it. I feel like I'll be on edge until that point of the evening occurs. What to do?
A) Say that it seems too pricey for me or say my budget is $100.
B) Make up a reason to cancel the date and propose drinks another time.

Well if u dont wanna go to pricey restaurant choose a one near your place or setup a home cooking date
She likes the live music and they have some dancing at the restaurant. ??

If u think she is worth it considering future investment then ready to pay full or split if not then just ask to split it and give a reason
Lol don't tell her you have a budget. Makes you look stingy or broke. Did you tell her you're into art? If not, just propose another acitivty, it's just way too much on her terms right now/she's calling all the shots. Would just feel like you're tagging along on this fucking boring museum date just to get a chance at the pussy. If you had proposed it because you know she likes art, then that would even be a little better. Definitely go with option B.
These are good points Bob, thank you. We had talked about art and going to a museum, but she tacked on the expensive restaurant.
So here's what actually transpired (attached image). (She is foreign, her English is not so good, and she had originally proposed "dinner.")

Could just tell her that you would prefer not to do a dinner date early on and you prefer more active dates at first while you are getting to know someone. Propose something fun in exchange though.

"That plan sounds amazing. But let's keep it lowkey again this time. Let me cook you some dinner and I'll play some amazing music".
The issue is she might be putting you in the friendzone already. Hence she's making up a pricey plan to make the most out of this

You were right Alex! We went out for drinks at a couple of places. She insisted on paying for the drinks at the second place. Was a fun night with affectionate touching, but at the end of the night she gave me the cheek when I tried to kiss her. :(. This is the second time she's given me the cheek. What should I do now?
