Dating on a Budget

Q: I just want to take my date out for drinks, or dinner. Is there a way to do that economically?

A: Mellody thinks... Taking someone for dinner or drinkers can be expensive, but many restaurants are now offering special promotions, such as one deal per week, half-price appetizers or discounted drinks. Some restaurants even offer different daily specials. Don't be afraid to take your date to these places, especially if they are discounting something he or she really enjoys. There are good websites, such as Metromix, that you can check to learn more about restaurant promotions in your area.

If you are going to dinner for a date, then consider going to a restaurant that is "BYOB," or bring your own booze. Many restaurants will let you bring your own wine or beer for free or a small fee. This is a great way to save on alcohol and this will ensure that you will have exactly what you want.

If you are a member of an on-line dating service, try to be as selective as possible, so you are only going with dates that truly have some future potential. Going out on too many first dates can be a drain on your finances.

Think about doing things at home. For example, cook your date a meal instead of going out to eat. Not only will it be more intimate, but it will surely impress your date.
