I hate fancy restaurants. I can’t stand how overpriced fancy restaurants are. The first time I went to one was in September of 2014, I was on a date. Now this restaurant I picked for us to go to is supposed to be Mediterranean like you know Greek cuisine or the whole bit and the head waitress talked like a duck and she just was giving me a headache. I was like first time with this girl three years older than me and I was like trying my best to like sit through the whole thing and show that I’m a nice guy. Then when the bill came it equated out to $40 for the both of us. I started to sweat my arms - my pits... I couldn’t take it. Then after I came home from evening classes in school I received an answer from the same girl who wanted to hang out again. Now how was she expecting to hang out with me again when I just hung out with her that day and she hit me up on Facebook the week before? I told her I’m sorry.. I, I need to concentrate on finishing school before I open up to a committed relationship. Well she was just as persistant as I was with other girls in the years to come she kept messaging me like needy on FB for the next three months and I kept ignoring her. Finally it got to the point in which she said “Fine don’t answer me!” So I knew I wasn’t gonna see her again. And that’s uh yeah so I never went to another fancy restaurant again. And whenever i hear about this same date, I start to sweat under my armpits.

I like Greek restaurants. The ones I go to are not pricey or fancy but the food is generally good. If you take a girl on a date to a restaurant, you do not need to take her to the best restaurant in town, just take her to a good one. One that you can afford.

I actually met my current girlfriend at Taco Bell this past November tbh. We go places we like and we like to go close to her home where we both don’t have to ride in my car as far.

Taco Bell is cool....not a place for a "first date," though.

A place like Appleby's isn't bad.

If a girl requests Taco Bell, I'll take her. I like Taco Bell :)

I like Taco Bell, too. I doubt I’d pick it for a first date, though.

Oh no I didn’t meet her at Taco Bell on a first date lol. She works at one. I took her on our first dinner date to a work Christmas Party mine had at a hotel.

Do you know the song "Buffalo Boys Along the Outside, Along the Outside, Along the Outside?"

I like the Buffalo area. I stayed there a few times when I was on my way to Toronto.

I know what you are saying, Kraftie. If the guy suggests TB as a first date, it may look bad.

With that said. TB has these nacho fries coming back....

Remember the Volcano Tacos?

I am "autistic" in my Taco Bell selections LOL.

I ALWAYS get the simple Soft Beef Burrito there.

No variety!

OK, you guys have convinced me. I've never been to a Taco Bell but I am going to try it.

If you have a sensitive belly, I don't recommend it.
