First off, I don't do Tinder, never have, not interested. It's mainly known for getting you quick lays. Secondly, I don't think asking to meet in public is that much of a big effort. Thirdly, it depends what your're looking for. Are you looking for an easy lay? Are you looking for commitment? Because that really sets the tone of the date. If you're looking for an easy lay, then you're going to put less effort in. If you're looking to settle down, then you will put in more effort.
There is nothing wrong with meeting in public, plenty of dates are even more fun then drinks or dinner in my opinion, but the topic of the thread deals with a guy that wants to be frugal while hopefully still making a girl not feel cheap and unimportant. That is his aim, this topic has been derailed a bit.

Actually, it depends on the type of guy. There are men with high regard for their culture and religion, as an example, Arabs. Arabic men highly value virginity. A woman that gives it up too easily isn't valuable in their eyes. That's not to say they are bad guys, or good guys. It's a preference.
I feel undesired if my date is not at the very least affectionate, the more passionate and easy going she is the more it turns me on as long as she isn't crude about it until we are very comfortable. The only thing that is a turn off is if it is too aggressive and fast and she can't tell and won't slow down, although that seems to be more of an older woman thing. I like the slow build up where we take it little by little. As long as I feel I can trust her and she is willing to open up then I see no harm in it, as long as she won't tell anyone about what we do in private there is no issue.
There is nothing like that feeling when you look someone in the eyes and slowly start to smile at each other and just know. Everything else besides that feeling, like arbitrary times met up, or money spent feels irrelevant compared to that feeling and the type of person staring you back. Sometimes different people take more patients, but if someone is putting on a front and can't just let go or be affectionate due to some arbitrary constraint I myself feel bad about it, like she doesn't care about me at all, not even enough to give it a chance, and I'm just some chore on her day planner.
