Of cos I hope she is genuine. If really need help I definitely will help. It seems like she doesn't need my help at all. No la. I'm not looking for sex. I looking for someone really care about me and love me.
Maybe should I said one of the rare case? I hope I got a girl like that as well. My friend did ask me go gym and build up some muscle. Just that I hate to visit gym whereby those muscular man like to show off muscle and conquer those equipment for long time.
Right now need time use to heal my wound and get a decent car. Not myvi anymore.
Not bad. I hope I will meet this kind of girl someday. She did tell me she prefer street food rather than luxury restaurant which caught my attention. Was thinking found the 1 I want. In the end still the same.

A luxurious car attracts a gold digger, so when you say you wanna get decent car, are you looking for a gold digger? You just need a car that can go A to B reliably.
Your friend asked you to go gym, and that's the excuse you gave him/her? Because some muscle head is hogging the equipment? I think your friend was just trying to tell you to get into shape, lose that beer belly or bulk up those skinny sticks of limbs. At least, YOU yourself gotta feel good about yourself - are you happy with how you look? If not, then why do you think anyone else would?
I agree with what
Ramjade said, but I want to flesh it out a bit more...
Pretext: I'm assuming you'll take turns in treating each other, where the guy treats the first date. (I think that if 2nd date is good to go, but the lady doesn't offer to treat back, then she lacks common courtesy.)
- On one hand, the one treated should not expect luxury all the time. It's good courtesy to offer to be treated at a simple/cheaper place.
- On the other hand, the one treating should not be a cheapo by intentionally treating at a cheap place. It's good courtesy to "pay back equally".
Of course, final decision depends the both of you: your conversations and your own preferences, you do whatever you like. I'm not trying to paint it black and white ya.
Put this into real life perspective:
Suppose guy treats on the first date.
First date goes well and the girl offers next on her.
Now YOU, the guy, have the opportunity to say, "ok! I fancy simple food sometimes. Let's go to this hawker stall/zapfan whatever." Now you opened the door to eating cheap food. If she resists by giving a more expensive option like, "ehh but I know that hawker stall not nice to sit for long, I wanna hang out longer in a cozy place. How about this cafe?" Then it's a good sign she is not actively looking to "cheap her way out". Even if she happily agrees, it can be as simple as genuinely wanting to eat something simple too. Either way, you do your part.
Depending on your conversations and flow, you'll eventually eat simple food especially when your relationship stabilises... Say, on your turn to treat back, she then says ok that hawker stall, then ezpz lor, you get to eat what you originally wanted. It's natural for both sides to want something simpler every now and then, when the dynamic is balanced where both are contributing monetarily to the relationship building.
