sorry, by rule, if you're unemployed you have to remain celebate. and no masturbating either Dinner - $150 give or take a bottle of wine Club Cover - $40 and that is the low end Drinks at the club - $8-$10 a pop and maybe 4 or 5 each - $80 wow when papersmile and I go out we might spend $10 at the bookstore for a pot of tea walking through the park holding hands is free and then maybe $5 to split a bannana split and maybe $20 to rent a movie and a bottle of wine if we feel like staying up late Wow from me too! If I were dating, I'd feel too guilty to allow a man to spend that sort of money on me for just a date. And I'm certainly too cheap to spend that kind of money on him! If we were in a relationship, I guess that'd be something else. I can go away for a weekend with that kind of money! I just bought a bottle of wine at the liquor store for under $20 and would rather drink it on my back porch than in some smokey, loud club with a bunch of half-drunken strangers. Truthfully, I always found the inexpensive dates far more interesting and memorable than the pricey ones anyway. I'd MUCH rather go ice skating and have a hot chocolate or a bike ride stopping for an ice cream. Yet you were more than happy for me to buy you dinner at the top of the CN Tower for about 150-200 for the both of us(cant quite remember), and that wasnt even a date! haha |

Haha that wasn't a date; more like your repayment for my tolerance of having to locate you on more than one occasion to ensure you made it to maryland and the wedding!

I don't mind if someone I am dating is unemployed. It is just current status and does not necessarily mean that the person is going to be unemployed forever.

I'd MUCH rather go ice skating and have a hot chocolate or a bike ride stopping for an ice cream. Can't say it any better than that! I guess you guys missed the multiple times I stated that is a once in a while dealio and just average -- and that I offer to pay for these types of dates as well. This was an off-topic comment borne from someone that said $60 was tops for his dates. I replied with 'You can't sneeze in this town for $60 ...' Not to mention all the other examples I gave of 'no money needed' dates. 
Take all of my statement and not just one little piece of the entire context.  
Wow, it's like the Inquirer taking a comment out of context!

You can learn a lot from a person in that setting.

Of course, I am kinda hyperactive and can't be placed in a unfamiliar dull place like a coffee/bookstore. Natural surroundings is betta in my book. To each its own I guess. |

no one should go bankrupt or go broke to date someone. If a guy asks me out...then he usually pays. But I'm like a lot of the posts. I can be happy renting a movie and staying home. If I like the guy and we get along..I might ask him out for the next time then I pay

I've dated a couple of unemployed women. I have no problem with it.

At my age I often hear women say that they are spending time being a house mom or taking a break from work. I have found out that these are euphemisms for I AM UNEMPLOYED! Allow me to be fair and describe what I mean To me there is nothing wrong with being out of a job temporarily my idea of temporary is up to 6 months depending on what you do for a living, in some special cases longer. When a man is unemployed and attempts to date he has a different set of criteria to meet since he is seen as the initiator. He has to have cash credit or savings in order to date. At no point can a man get away with going on a date more than once with the same woman without being expected to pay. unless he has an exceptional personality. My one and only question: Why is there a double standard? Not all dates need to cost money. I would be happy going to a park or a lake. That way the two can talk and get to know each other. |

I could enjoy a coffee at a bookstore, but once we have drank it, id wanna go somewhere else.
Not that i know any bookstores that sell coffee, or coffeeshops that sell books. What is so important about a bookstore anyway? Are you supposed to discuss books or something? I am happier in a pub or a bar with a proper drink. |

I actually enjoy bookstores on my own. I've never been on a date in one.

I'll still go with papersmile and take the bottle of wine on my porch, or in front of a firepit/fireplace, playing some good music, dancing together. And I'll take Olive Garden, Mac Grill or any other chain over a $200 a plate place. I've had those too. Always leave hungry!
