Counted up every cheap date my girlfriend and I did last year and it came to 47
Half our friends say doing free stuff like the $0 downtown sculpture walk makes us cheap, the other half say we saved around $1,400 and had more fun than their $80 dinners. Where do you draw the line between cheap and just plain boring?
Plenty of people would rather split an $80 dinner and actually feel like they went out than pretend a sculpture walk counts as a date. Free stuff is fine but 47 times in one year starts to look less like fun and more like you just never wanted to spend anything.
