I’ll echo the sentiments of some of the others and add my own insights.

I don’t think you were out of line with wanting a “nice date”. As others have pointed out, some additional clarification was probably necessary. 5 – 7 years ago I was on the dating scence pretty frequently and ran into women who exhibited some of the same skittish qualities, and well beyond sometimes, so I don’t think this is exclusive to men.

When I was dating back then, I never did an expensive date until the 2nd or 3rd date when I felt there was some chemistry there. Even then, it was a place of my choosing. The way I looked at it, was that if there was a nice restaurant that had not been to before or really enjoyed, then why not take some company and share that experience. That being said, I wasn’t buying cristal and lobster. I think the most I ever spent, this was back in Chicago, was $150 for dinner at a Brazilian Churrascaria called Fogo de Chao. My date must have been suitably impressed because got married a year later and just had our first born son two weeks ago 😉

True…the only real jobs there are in the service, retail industry or health care…otherwise, what the hell else is there to Hawaii besides tourism?? Oh yeah, maybe local government, but that has to be locked up pretty tightly by the long term locals.

He can’t do that Rustico because they’ve probably grown tired of failing to convince him/her to lower the price.

“Does questioning the reason for all the smugness on this site make me a troll?”

Sorry, but that smugness was well earned during 2005 and 2006. As to how to determine if you are a troll…well, walking into the bear’s den and poking it with a sharp stick would certainly qualify. So poke away, but don’t shocked when you get mauled.
