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.

[count-your-change]

Absolutely. Around here wild roses are free, pick your own.

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.

Alvin and the Chipmunks? That wasn’t enough for you to call him before the date started (presuming he told you what movie you 2 were going to see) and cancel? A grown man asking a grown woman to go watch a cartoon movie based on a tv cartoon?

Kids these days. :-)

It was fun.

Matinee!

You know what I mean

Date night 2 weeks ago.

Roses were in the trunk. Had the valet bring them up to the room. Strawberries from HEB 3 bucks. Roses 20. Room at the Hilton free(used points). Bottle of champagne 20. Dinner and drinks at O’briens on the river walk, 75. Breakfast next morning at Jim’s 20.

With tip, 150 bucks for a night on the river walk.

After 23 years, every date with my lovely wife is still a romantic date

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?!

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.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Can't you at least go the manatee?!

If I took her to see a manatee she would slap me. She would expect a killer whale, at least. :)

[Defiant]

Oh the huge matinee!

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

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

Nice!

[IbJensen]

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.

In some of those places I wonder what the anti-biotics cost afterwards.

Hubby and I went to a taco place on our first date. Went on cheap dates for over a year before he took me to a really nice steakhouse, and a movie. Later I was ticked when one of his friends let it slip that he used to take all his dates to the steakhouse. I asked him why it took him so long to take me to a nice dinner and he replied that he knew right off that he was going to keep me and didn’t want to spoil me...

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Heck when we do go out it is under $40.00. That includes dinner, movie and desserts afterwords.
