Cheap Dates

Going on a date with my wife this evening.

Imagine the total cost will be about £80 which will probably be split 60/40.

Hope this is helpful.

Also, nine times out of ten the quality of food and drink doesn’t go up pro-rata, does it? You can quite easily have amazing £15 mains and shite £50 ones, likewise, especially with wine, the cost is irrelevant. If i was being taken somewhere the thought into finding somewhere nice, and warm, and with character would count for more than what it cost.

Suggested going to an R Kelly gig at the Hammersmith Apollo on a first date once - eye-wateringly expensive AND ethically dubious in retrospect, but fun was had by all…

This is absolutely incredible. Were you living in a sitcom at the time?

I am going on a date with my boyfriend tomorrow.

I imagine the cost will be about that too…but I will “forget” my purse so…

Fine work if you can get it.

My dates are free. I’m not going on any dates.

It’s fine…

(the one I went on the other week cost me £60. I paid)

32

I always do

I’m not sure that was a dABANDON REPLY

went on a date in a pub where she said she just wanted a coke, and when i brought it back she pulled a bottle of vodka out of her bag and said she refused to pay pub prices for booze. fair cop, cheap date.

Been on quite a few dates with people who don’t drink which worked out fairly cheaply, by contrast I also went on a date to see 1984 but didn’t realize at that time how much tickets cost.

36

I went on one date where the other person didn’t drink and I basically wanted to drown and destroy all art within ten minutes.

I know it’s bad - but I hate finding myself on a date with someone who either doesn’t drink, or is not drinking on the date for some reason (like they’ve got to drive or whatever)

Drink through the awkwardness with me!

I just drank coke/coffee/tea…was alright really.

Thankfully I bought them in advance so they couldn’t see the shocked expression pass over my face.

Externally: Yeah no worries I’ve got this.

Internally: Well I suppose I’m selling the car then.

Did she know that’s where you were going? I can half imagine her throwing on a fancy outfit and you being like “er where’s your hard hat?”
