Who does expensive, romantic dates anymore? These days in America it’s a six-pack and a hookup.

[bgill]

How much was that “romantic”, cough, barf, date to Paris the usurper and Moo had cost us?

Vacuuming the house would be romantic enough for me.

[Gaffer]

Date night in Chicago. $ 1m+.

[InterceptPoint]

Orange County, California:

$7.99 a month for Netflix (covers several dates)
$5.00 for a medium pizza
A few bucks for some beer.

A couple years ago the DW took me on a romantic date to London.

Plane tickets from Frankfurt: $300
A night at a Hilton: $230
Tickets to see Cat on a Hot Tin Roof: $300
Dinner in Chinatown: $80
Worship at The Metropolitan Tabernacle (Spurgeons's church) before flying back to Germany: Priceless

Oh, and this was a tremendous splurge to celebrate my 50th.

$35.00 BUCKS FOR MOVIE TICKETS!?!?

Can't you at least go the manatee?!

Shoot when I was a Teenager I would talk my dates to the movies and we would see 2 or 3 for $5 (or sneak in to the next one when no one was looking....)

And That was only a few short years ago.

A dozen roses on a first date???????????????????????

really? has anyone here ever done that?

[Berlin_Freeper]

answered a knock on her front door and found a man wearing a hoodie who pushed her inside, knocked her to the ground and allegedly attempted to inject her with a substance that he claimed was GHB, commonly known as a date rape drug.

[discostu]

If you’re meeting the girl why are you having roses delivered? Stuff like this is why I hated dating, glad I found mrs right early, our first “date” involved drinking beer and talking for about 5 hours on her patio.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

The last date I went on was all the way back in 2007.

The man took me to see ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’. Yeah.

I had to buy my own drink and he ignored me the whole time.

Dating sucks.

[G Larry]

21 Romantic cities and Rome is not on the list???

[meyer]

If the people striking fast food restaurants get their way, I won’t be able to afford a romantic date any more.

[Galatians513]

Sydney is a very romantic city, even if all you do is stroll about Circular Quay holding hands and watching the buskers perform.

[freedumb2003]

Where does the dozen roses come in?

After a few dates, maybe.

And that looks like the most expensive part of almost all of them.

US Navy Vet’s version of a “Romantic” Dinner Date:
1. Steak Special(get there before 1800) @ Texas Roadhouse about $35 for 2
2. Go Home look at Netflix for a Movie, find NOTHING worthwhile
3. Go to bed around 2100
Neat Huh?!

[Darren McCarty]

I don't usually date. I go out. :)

$200? Even Mackinac Island doesn't set me that much back unless I stay overnight. Nor does a tour of the wineries Up North. Sleeping Bear costs me $10 and never fails to impress.

[SeminoleCounty]

Either this writer has never been to Oslo...or was afraid that including Oslo would make his #1 most expensive date city by such a large margin.

Just a small lunch at a TGI Fridays (all over Oslo) runs about $50 per person.

A romantic date (though with a very beautiful Norwegian lady who skis better than you) probably goes at least $300

[Albion Wilde]

Last time most American women got a delivery of a dozen roses before a date was never. Must be an Aussie tradition.

Nice!

If your name is Obama, or Soetoro, there is no charge. Stupid American taxpayers pick up the tab.

Need an abortion or a sex change? No problem. Uncle Stupid will pick that up as well.
