So, the big question left hanging here is;

Does cheapskate = cheap date?????


Actually, I am the queen of cheap dates. I hate crappy over priced food. I know all the best dives. I like to drive up and down PCH and the 101 and now tons of awesome places to stop FOR FREE. I like to shoot hoops with someone I don't know. Talk and BS with them, see how open they are to fun with a few "Yo Momma" jokes, etc.


Yeah, I like the simplier things for dates myself. Even just going for a cup of coffee, a bike ride, or a walk is better than an expensive meal.


Really? It's hard for me not to spend $100 on a date.


Wow, I don't have guys spending that much money on me; maybe at the most about $50.00 but that would be a meal and drinks.


You take 'em to a nice restaurant you like and nearly $50 is gone already (with tip). Then, if you just do movies, it's $16 per person plus the drinks and maybe a small bag of popcorn...bingo, nearly $100. And what happens if you want to go ice skating before/after? Well over $100. Lots to do in Dallas, lots of moola to do it.


I went to a movie in Dallas a couple months ago. It was a really large one not a matinee' and it was 10 something I do so believe.
Has it gone up that much in 2 months? Gracious.

This is why I rarely go to movies at the Cinema, and if I do go it's mainly for re releases of older films, or recent indie horror flicks.

Otherwise I'll spend the money on a DVD and not have to worry about annoying people sitting behind me.

Movies make horrible dates. You can't talk to the person or anything.

Well as I said its normally dinner or a movie; never have I done both in an evening with a date. A friend yes; a date never.
