Yes. The taxpayer's do not need to support the product of your recreation. If you can't afford the results of dating, you are too immature to be mating. The government shouldn't be in the business of enabling you to be irresponsible.
My, what dirty mind you have. I specifically said companionship...if you think this means sex; may I suggest you get help?!-)
I agree.
There have been times in my life when I was less than well-endowed in the financial department. Does that mean that I should have been deprived of female companionship?

Geez, Reeses, haven't you ever engaged in "dating" without "mating"?
During my last year of medical school in 1980, I was living on a budget of $400/month while my long-time girlfriend had a high paying job with IBM. One day, after I again paid for dinner, I realized that there was something wrong with this picture. I asked her to "go Dutch" in the future as I could no longer afford going out if I had to keep paying for both of us.
How long should I have have stopped dating?
Until after I finished medical school? Until after I finished internship and residency? Until after I saved my first million?
