A viral tweet claimed it’s a huge red flag if a girl insists on dinner for a first date.

One side says drinks only, keep it low investment, filter fast, avoid free meals.

The other says that mindset is fear-based, the guys who do better just take her to dinner.

This episode is not really about dinner.

It’s about knowing when investing is confidence and when you’re just getting played.

Murray Hill Guy sits down with Westside LA Guy (drinks-first) and Cole Jaczko (dinner-first) to break down first date strategy, dating apps vs real life, city differences, investment timing, and how guys quietly sabotage good connections.

By the end of the episode, you’ll have a simple rule you can actually use the next time a girl suggests dinner.
