Seriously, here is a funny story. My GF told me about a date she was on many years ago, the guy had a coupon "buy one get one free" and wanted her to pay so he could get the free meal. Haha what a chump! I laughed at that one. It was true too.
THAT was your sister?? Why didn't she ever call me back?

Mine says I'm expensive (I like good food and wine - it's all his fault for being a great cook, and for introducing me to wine country when we lived in San Fran!)! If he'd start liking sci-fi movies, I'd be much cheaper! lol As it is, I now go by myself so it's as cheap as it gets...
Whatever happened to a night of bowling? Does a date really have to be that much? Where do single people go, and what do they pay for that costs so much? I used to go dancing - it cost $6 to get in, and $2/ea for the bottles of water I drank (booze and line dancing do NOT mix). Any single people here who can enlighten us?
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Emmett Fitz-Hume: My objective? Well I object to taking a girl out, you know, and buying her dinner and then she won't put out for you.
Watch out guys- there's alot of women who are working the date scene for those fancy dinners, and they have no intention of providing any "compensation". Yes- it's happened to me- last year I had a few dates (down in town) and it sure seemed like I was being played for a fancy dinner. And I've heard the same stories from a few friends - it seems like the bad economy is contributing to this.
I don't do the fancy first date anymore. In fact I just seem to hang out in Evergreen on the weekends, the last place I want to be on my day off is back in the big chitty- pandering to some mall rat for romance.
I'll hit Little Bear or the other night spot here in town, which is a very poor way to meet a partner of the opposite sex- which explains why I am still single- but I'd rather be single than be hooked up with someone who wants to spend the weekend in the city anyway.
I like the hills- and I'd like to find someone who would rather spend time up here than in the city. I'm also trying to buy my way out of corporate slavery so it would be nice if I don't have to spend a fortune on romance.
And hey- with all the money I'm saving- I used some to buy a new ham radio this year.
