there's a message there - they know what they want but they want you to make the choice - the correct choice, because it then becomes their treat that was entirely initiated by you. If they suggest something on the exclusive side then it's not the same - it has to be something chosen by the man, something exciting, something to make the woman feel special. Get it right and there won't be any of this on the drive home; What's wrong hun? Nothing! But you're not saying anything! Don't worry, it's okay. More silence. You go to bed and her back is facing you - game over.
If you go out of your way and spend every cent you have for the weekend then everything will fall into place. It's just the way it is.
Of course, there are women like my sister that keeps the household budget tight with an iron fist, and her husband is now sitting pretty because of her thrift. It's value meal all the way for them, and without the cold shoulder. They are out there 'these women', and if you find one then hang on to her like gold.
