There are so many things you can do with a partner that don’t cost money and will make permanent memories.
Running though the streets at 3:47 with a big knife and 5 dollar mask from pop up Halloween store
She said she wanted a guy that would chase her so...
AM or PM?
24 hour clock is the standard so AM
What time zone are we thinking?
"Don't run, I just want to admire your skull"
Cucking. Gloryhole. Orgy. Swinging.
Or you know, going grocery shopping and making dinner at home.
It’s still gonna cost $200 but you’ll be set for a few days at least.
Or you know, potluck orgy where the cost of the meal is spread out over multiple people? You’ll still have leftover and you can reduce the amount of dishes if the rule is “no sex ‘til the sink is empty”.
Yeah but on the first dates you gotta try to impress a little right, don’t want to come off as too poor or cheap (depending on circumstances, 2 students in exact same situation is different than older working adults, for example)
If the girl is impressed by how much you can spend on food is it really worth impressing her at all?
Wait till you hear about engagement rings!
This feels like a capitalistic idea to convince people thay they need to spend money to find a partner or people to be with. Dating can have many forms and you can get to know people in many different places. You don't have to spend a lot of money to talk to people in hobby groups or go take a walk/drink a coffee with someone
Plus a shared interest is a great start to a potential relationship. If you have nothing in common, how can you expect to get along well with each other.
Nah, coffee date. No pressure, easy to hear each other, easy to split bill and easy to leave if it's not going well.
Yep coffee date first, dinner date second if the coffee date goes well.
There are other fun things you can do on a first date that don't cost money too.

Impress your date with your creativity and passions.
