No, but its something that should be decided before you date. I dont have a problem with sharing costs... as long as I know about it up front... And its not where he takes me but enjoying time together.
Of course not, I like the cheap stuff just a well, and can be just as much fun if with the right person.
A lot ride, what with the cost of gas, could be as expensive as a movie. LOL
I think we ladies are all well past that thing where we think a guy is cheap if he doesn't want to go the fancy dinner, movie, theater, etc. route.
We all know cheap when we see it, and if a guy is cheap (or a woman, too, for that matter) you will hear all about your first few conversations with them before you even go on an official date. Cheap people talk cheap. In fact, usually, money and the costs of things seem to make up the bulk of their conversation, from my experience.
Dating isn't about spending money. It is about spending time. How and where you do that says an awful lot about the both of you, don't you think?
I think it depends on what is meant by cheap date. If you are going to walk into the flea market and pay
less the a dollar to get in and then walk around the salsa booths and eat samples, count me out. Yes, I have known folks who had that happen on a date. I think if you are taking a picnic and going to a park to see a play or just hang out at the park that is a good cheap date. I like to just go on a short hike sometimes for a date. Yes, you have some goodies in the day pack to snack on. It really depends on the people involved.
Maybe a less formal date than dinner and a movie..I would hate the thought of calling it a cheap date. Less formal to me means you get a better opportunity to talk with each other. Taking a drive casual and stopping for lunch or something is less expensive and cheap is out..LOL
I think it is all about balance. If a few pricey dates are occassionally thrown into the mix I wouldn't worry about the cheap ones. It's only when almost all the dates are McDonald's (which by the way isn't that cheap anymore) that you need to be concerned. "Cheap" dates can sometimes be fun anyway. Afterall, it's not so much about where you go or what you do as it is about who you're with.
Agree with you Ana...1000%.
I agree with anakris. Its not about the ride its all about if you enjoyed the trip with the person you were with, the rest is just so much fluff.
That wouldn't concern me at all, particularly if I knew the person well. I'm not all that impressed with money and certainly not how much a guy spends on me. Some of the best dates I can remember were take-out and sitting around home watching our favorite show or a movie together. Like everyone else has said, it's the time together, the communication, and quality of both.
