Budget Your Date

By Jerry Stanford

So you've finally found the nerve to ask someone out. Wouldn't you like to know how to save money on a date once you've finally gotten one? The following may help.

You can have dinner at a fancy restaurant and spend tons of money, or you can search out a restaurant that is more moderately priced. Venues that have a select menu, such as pizzas, nachos or wings, with a nice selection of beer, wine or spirits can be inexpensive.

A good place to be is actually within hotels. The prices aren't the cheapest, but it's not the most expensive either while giving the illusion of a very upscale environment.

There are movie theaters that serve a limited menu while you watch the latest film. You may be surprised to learn that buying something from a sandwich shop and watching the sunset is often more enjoyable for a date than some lavish undertaking.

A bottle of wine and a home cooked dinner can be very enjoyable. Deciding on a DVD that both of you want to see can only add to the evening.

Arranging a dinner party with mutual friends is another option. Often this can lead to good conversation, and, if it is a first date, this will help you relax and get to know your date more easily.

Many people think they need to spend a lot of money on dating but the reality is that your date is looking for a fun time. Sometimes, a day out at the park can work wonders too.

If your date is very materialistic, you may not even want to hang out with him or her. Those people only care about money anyway, so stop trying to please and get out while you can.

Although you may want to keep spending down, feel out your date. Even if they are a high flyer, you can usually maneuver into a setting that is comfortable without going broke.
