Another observational post of no real consequence...

 
After an afternoon of ridiculously good sex with my current #1 (20 yr. old Viet spinner), we headed to the local Morton's Steakhouse for dinner to celebrate a recent win for me.   This was her 1st time at Morton's and her 2nd time ever going to an upscale restaurant. Her first time happened when I took her to Ruth's Chris in July.  She has had previous SD's - according to her. (And I suspect she has others now based on her new SA profile - but I digress.) Apparently, none of those SD's (or her friends or family) ever bothered to treat her to a nice dinner.  

 
Well of course, she loved the meal; lobster ravioli, bacon-wrapped seared sea scallops, wagyu fillet with shallot butter and lobster tail, various sides, then Creme Brule for dessert. I paired it with a bottle of Paraduxx wine after I dropped a Kettle One martini down my throat. The wait service was on point because - well it's Morton's.  My SB was in absolute heaven, only transcended by the 30-40 minutes of orgasms I had previously supplied to her through an energetic DATY adventure.  

 
The bill - as you might expect - was high; $450 plus a $100 tip to our most excellent waiter, Derek.  

 
Now here's the reason for my post:   When Derek brought the bill, I noticed her peeking at the total.  I'm pretty sure she realized that the bill was larger than her allowance. Now this is not the 1st time I've spent big on her during a date.  And she made no comment or other reaction that I could see, other than her expressions of thanks for the amazing dining experience and a little road-handy on the way to drop her off at home.  

 
So how about you?  Anyone else see an SB peeking at the bill? if yes, did you mind? Did she say anything about it?

But first of all, sounds like a wonderful date and dinner, good for you!  As for me, all my dating is during daytime hours, so I never take my SBs out to dinner, fancy or otherwise, but I do often take them to lunch.  And I treat the3m in other ways as well. This week I had  a date with my #2.  She drove 50 miles to deliver her sweet self right to my door!  After the fireworks we both suited up for a motorcycle ride.  She was wearing the awesome Joe Rocket jacket I gave her as well as the matching helmet I gave her.  We hopped on my 99 Honda Valkyrie 1500 and I took her to this new authentic Chinese Noodle restaurant.  She loved it and we ate tons of awesome food.  The bill was about $50 and I don't recall if she looked at it or not.  I hope she did.  Next week I'm seeing my #1.  She also is a motorcyclist and last time we met I gave her a new $250 helmet she needed.  Plus I bought her a season ski pass. She knows what this stuff costs, so she knows I'm spending some actual $ on her. And I always take her to lunch after we have fun in the RV.  Often we eat at places where we order at the counter then sit and wait for our food.  So she def sees the $ total on the machine as I'm paying with my card.  All these little perks, in addition to the regular ppm allowances they count on, add up to a lot of good will.

HTC, sounds like an awesome date. I might even enjoy dining out with you if we weren't both so damn ugly!

 
I've never caught a girl peeking at the bill, although I don't try to catch them peeking, either. I pay reasonably discreetly because, well, I was just taught that whomever pays the bill does not draw attention in any way to the cost. I know no girl has ever picked up the bill or opened the folio in front of me, but it's possible they can read the bottom line when I'm holding it in my hand or writing the tip. (My 50+yo eyes couldn't see that from 2-3 feet away, but maybe hers can!)

 
If I left my bill or folio or card on the table and left her there while I used the men's room, I have no doubt that some peeking would be going on. But I don't do that.

 
But they all see the menus and the prices. Even the ones who like it when I order for them and look forward to it ("I just trust you, Daddy.")   So they have a rough idea of the outlay. At least I hope they do.  

 
Two weeks ago at an upscale steakhouse in a major eastern city, my petite Asian stewardess told me the only time she eats steak is when she's with me.

 
There must be girls out there who sort of "resent" the costly restaurant bill if they think the money "should" be going to their pretty little selves instead. But none of them have telegraphed that to me.  

 
I take a girl out to a fancy place because that's the kind of evening I enjoy, not because I think an expensive meal will help me get her panties off.

Rockford, I think you have articulated an important point:  

 
There is a difference between SB's who ONLY want the money, and those who really appreciate the upscale experiences that dating a man of means can share with them.  

 
The former will be the type that resents, or at least does not respect, your spend on anything other than cash in her wallet.  The latter appreciates the opportunity to have upscale experiences like fine dining, front-row center concert tickets, business/first class flying, and other elite perks can provide. For me, those are the SB's I will always want to have, and I tend to over-invest in them from time to time.  The "just give me that cash" types may be a good fuck, but they are usually not a good date.  Fortunately, they tend to remove themselves from my rotation after a few weeks or months.  

 
The SB I mentioned in my post is definitely enjoying her times with me beyond BCD.  I'll make sure she gets new and exciting experiences when we are together. She's a "keeper!"

I never make any effort to hide the bill.  No I don't flaunt it, I just take the bill and pay it.  There have been a few times, I needed help reading the dam bill bc the print was so fucking small, the restaurant was dark, and I couldn't read that dam thing even with my readers!!! lol.  But honestly, the women I have taken out to dinner don't really seem that concerned about the bill and why should they? I am paying for it! LOL

Reading through these posts reminded me of a recent experience.  I was on a first M&G date with a new SB, who was very sweet, and who came from a background where she had to watch every damn penny and still could not make ends meet.  Rather than taking advantage of my paying for it, I actually had to encourage her to order whatever she wanted from the menu.  She kept asking if it was ok.  I assured her I was paying and she should get whatever she wanted.  So I ordered a big piece of pie for dessert, which I could tell she wanted but was too shy to order.  Later on she made a comment about the $7 piece of pie!  She was well aware of what everything cost and was amazed that I would spend that much! Kinda charming.
