Author	Thread: Casino Date
Admin	Casino Date Posted : 12 Apr, 2010 10:32 AM So, I went to a casino for the first time and to be honost had a blast and can't wait to go again. I'd say there's only a 30% chance I'd bring a date there, but still amuse myself with the idea. This is more of an amusement than a serious consideration, however part of the odd amusement/humor to this is that there actually exists a consideration to it :laugh:. Your thoughts? Post Reply

View Profile History	Casino Date Posted : 12 Apr, 2010 06:10 PM Are you asking our thoughts on bringing a date to a casino? Or, asking our thoughts on going to a casino in general? My thought on the first: Ask FIRST. My thought on the second: Why don't you just stay home and flush a wad of money down the toilet? You accomplish the same thing, and you can stay in your slippers and save on gas when you do it. Post Reply
View Profile History	Casino Date Posted : 12 Apr, 2010 07:21 PM I agree with Godslamb. Personally, it would be a red flag to me if I dated someone who enjoyed gambling. I would not expect to have a serious relationship with anyone who would take me to a casino or a bar for a date. I'd be more impressed if a guy got a thrill out of giving some money to charity, like donating to a food bank, Angel Tree, etc. I am not condemning you for going there or even having a good time, but I would be concerned if someone made a habit of it. (even if they could well afford it.) Post Reply

gracegrace View Profile History	Casino Date Posted : 12 Apr, 2010 09:04 PM I have been in casinos before and had fun. I look at it like any other entertainment. if I were going to go to a movie or a show or do something else that costs money why not play the slots or a board game? To me it's no different. I always put a limit on what I would spend and when that was spent I left. I can see how someone could get addicted to it though. It really is sort of boring if losing all the time, but when winning a little it can be a blast and some people may not be able to stop. I think it is extremely important to set ground rules for yourself, decide beforehand how much to spend and when to stop. I do tithe and give offerings and think that all Christians should do that because God commands it and blesses the portion that is left after the tithe. I do financial counseling at my church. I help people set up a "spending plan" otherwise known as a budget, that they can live with. We always include money for entertainment. It is an unrealistic budget that leaves out an expense that will come up. Post Reply
