darkmoon Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 can you afford to take somebody out? maybe you can once every so often, but more than that seems expensive, I am back to dating and confused am I asking too much, expecting too much? 1
Gaeta Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Not sure what it is you expect? Yes l can afford it once in a while. Building a relationship isn't about expensive dates though and all my favorite dates don't cost much. 1
preraph Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Get a second job. I've worked two jobs most of my life. Pick up odd jobs on the weekend when you're not working your 40-hour full-time job. And if you don't have one of those, get one and stop worrying about dating until you do. Every date doesn't have to cost a lot, but no one wants to be with someone who just wants you to "come over and hang out." 1
IfonlyIknew Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Dating doesn't have to = spending $$. I prefer cooking in with my guy. You can always do a picnic or something low key. It's not all fancy restaurants and bouquets. 1
Shining One Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Most of the women I've dated earn less than me. They couldn't afford to treat me on "equal" dates to the ones I took them on, but some found creative ways to make dates interesting without spending as much. You should date within your means and don't spend just for the sake of matching your partner. When I treat my girlfriend to a dinner and a movie night, it's usually around $200. When she treats me to a dinner and a movie night, it's usually around $50. It's within both our means and I'm happy with that. 1
GunslingerRoland Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Expensive is such a relative term. If you are poor going out anywhere to do anything is expensive. If you have a decent salary you might be talking a few hundred dollars as an expensive date. If you're doing the online dating thing and you are meeting a lot of women for first dates, it might be worthwhile doing the coffee date first, to make sure you have some compatibility before spending any significant money. 1
Satu Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Why not go to museums and art galleries? Most have their own coffee shops, which aren't terribly expensive. Take care.
