It is also interesting that he has so many helpful connections at good restaurants. To me, that speaks well of him.

I thought of that as well, but I've been a bit burned in the past by the guy who talked a good game but then ended up not taking initiative and DOING anything which became a huge turn-off.
...and while I can appreciate the "hook ups", I wouldn't want to get into the situation where that is an all-the-time occurrence...
I even found myself worrying if my choice of meeting place for our first date was too expensive for him. It wasn't ridiculously extravagant, but I saw the bill. Two appetizers and two rounds of drinks was well over $60.
Honestly, to go to a movie these days is $40 just for the tickets. He seems to want to go out of his way to impress me, and I worry that he may be stretching himself financially...
I'm trying to find things for us to do that aren't expensive, but from time to time, I would like to go someplace nice.
I've even offered to pay half or leave the tip, but he says he doesn't "believe" in that...
