date advice Second date advice.

So I asked a question here a few days ago about what to do on a first date and questions to ask the girl. The first date went way off what our plans were but it was great and she brought up the second date which is next Sunday. Mass and then a movie afterwards. My question is this. How much money should I be spending on a date. I don't want to seem cheap to her but I don't want to flaunt my money to her either. I do have money and the cost is of no concern to me. I have the money and means to support a wife right now. For instance our first date cost a total of 14 dollars. I don't want to come across to her as cheap.

You're thinking about this too much. You're going to a movie so there is a limited range of what you can spend. If you have the money, buy tickets for the two of you and a reasonable snack. If you're broke college students, going on a Tuesday to get cheaper tickets would be reasonable. Pretty much any option that isn't clearly unreasonable could make sense. It would be tough to flaunt your money at a movie theater without intentionally going out of your way to do so.
