[QUOTE=ArchitexOne;4219223]I have a meet and greet dinner date set up with a girl I met on SA. Since I am paying for a very nice dinner am I still expected to pay there rate?[/QUOTE]Personally, I don't do "very nice dinners" as meet and greets. I generally set up the M&G as a coffee date, but do my best to schedule it at a time where it's possible to evolve a quick cup of coffee into a cocktail and dinner and / or a sex date if things are going well. If the meet and greet ends after just coffee, I don't offer them any money at all. If the coffee date evolves into lunch or dinner, but doesn't end in sex (but I really do want to get to sex eventually), I may offer a small token of 30-50. If after dinner I am ambivalent about sex, I don't offer anything. Of course, since it is a "sugar date" I do pay for the meal (and choose a place at the price point I want).
I try not to discuss "sugar" at all, preferring to let the "date" evolve on its own, and then I just slip some money in her purse at the end, after sex. If she forces a negotiation, then I have to negotiate, but I NEVER give money before sex. I've been burned a couple times on that mistake.
Obviously I adjust tactics based on how the girl is feeling. Do I need to make it feel more like a date so she can rationalize that she's not really a prostitute? Does she just want to get to sex as soon as possible so she can get the money? Different girls are different.
