Have you ever wondered how you got that girl? Not the girl you got who you wished was a four and half the next day. That was not getting anything -- except laughed at by your friends.
I'm talking about the "it" girl. The girl who you would chase, but you are smart enough not to, because everyone else is chasing the same girl.
George was a soft spoken, hardworking individual who worshiped girls, yet that was never reciprocated in the way he wanted. He was not desperate for the physical gratification of sex he was yearning for a relationship. It sound preposterous, but it's true. He wanted to have the companionship of a girlfriend and maybe some physical gratification, maybe. George just didn't get it.
When George gained enough confidence to walk up to a girl at a party and talk to her, he would shower them with compliments, buy them a drink, do all the things that you should not be doing. We've all made mistakes like this before, but the important thing is that we walk away from them having learned something. For some reason George never learned his lesson.
In the event that George got a number, he would call and ask them out on a date. He would normally go all out and by all out I mean dinner at a mediocre restraunt. There is nothing wrong with going out to eat, but not a first date. Girls have to earn their dinner.
That does not mean you can't spend money on a first date, it means you have to do drinks and a fun activity. Something that you can talk and interact. Dinner is something formal, there is no good interaction for a first date. Think about it, many interviews are conducted at restaurants-- this is a question and answer session; we're not in college anymore, you've grown up!
You have to be able to show the girl who has already accepted an invite that you can do more than just eat. Going to drinks is what works the best, that way you will both enjoy yourselves no matter what. It gets some energy into the conversation, talking about drinks is also a great thing, because funny stories will always come of this topic.
If it turns out not to be the "it" girl, you are ok, nobody got hurt and nobody ever regrets a drink, you might regret dinner.

Very interesting piece. You're right. You should see if the girl is the right one before dishing out tons of money and perhaps having an awkward dinner where you're stuck. It's much easier getting out of a drink date.
