Also, even a small amount like $100 gives them something to look forward to or else some girls will "ghost" you and don't show up. In all cases, no matter how great the chemistry is between us, I keep it down to 20-30 minutes. I tell them this time limit before we meet. Of course if the chemistry is good you can start to talk about when to meet again at a hotel room.
