Yeah I guess I should have mentioned that I'm not a typical college student. I'm 30 years old and I live half an hour from campus. I have a job, but my cash situation is unsustainable for more than another semester (lucky, since I graduate in December).
And isn't it a little weird to approach a woman you don't know that well and say "Hey, will you come to my house so I can cook you dinner"? I mean maybe that's fine for a second or third date, but I'd think that a woman would be reluctant to meet a guy at his house for a first date.
