"Fun but free" is always a good idea on a first date. Walking in the park, or around town is nice.
I feel like in the past when I was dating on OK Cupid, some of the girls just wanted to see if they could get a free meal.
I ever had this girl tell me, "Tinder was paying for her daily dinner" hahaha..... O_O
I ran away from that one!!
Wow, that's TERRIBLE! LOL! Glad you found out early on!
