      On our wedding night, my wife and I grabbed Taco Bell. If your date expects you to go broke to impress her, cut it off right there. She’s never going to change, and definitely never going to be worth it. Find someone who understands the value of putting your money into things that will last longer than a meal.

      No joke, I always do a no spend money on at least 2 first dates, and dutch on the third. If they still seeing me after that , then I can get more serious with the spending.

      Learn the hard way to many times taking women out on an expensive dinner just to get ghosted afterwards.

    The only things they’re counting are dinner, drinks, transportation and grooming? At that price, I thought it would include event tickets, museum entry, the cost of a hotel room, or something like that. Two can eat well for much less than that.

    I live in the Bay Area and regularly get multiple drinks (each), an appetizer, and two entrees at a mid-high end restaurant for $100-150 easily, and obviously SF is on the more expensive side of things.

    Where the fuck is this average coming from? Top-tier dates in Tokyo?
