I'm gonna do a bit of 'fessing up here just to make it a bit more interesting.

My wife and I dated for 1 year before getting married. I was 3 years home from VN and still suffering from jungle brain. I was going to school and didn't have 2 nickels to rub together. My wife, then girlfriend, paid every penny for every date we went on. She loaned me $500 to buy a car just so I could pick her up rather than her picking me up. She paid for the gas when we went to Vegas to get married. She paid for the motel (she couldn't afford a hotel). When we got back home she bought her own wedding band because I didn't have any money. We lived in her apartment for the next 2 years with her paying most of the bills (I did get a part time/temporary job once in awhile). Fast forward 30 years: we are still married and I have been paying the bills for the last 25 years. You couldn't drag me away from this woman with all the sex or money in the world.

BTW, I have offered to buy her a diamond ring but she doesn't want it. She says that worn old gold band that cost $48 30 years ago is more a symbol of our relationship than any diamond ring could ever be.

I guess that was my cheap date.

That truly was a great story.

 
free, unless you count gas for driving.

went to this cafe and ordered our drinks, but she knew one of the folks workign there and when i was about to pay they were all "oh no don't worry about it." woohoo
 
It always ends up costing me more than $15 simply because of the amount of alcohol they require to spend time around me.

The cheapest date I've ever gone out on with a girl ended up costing me about 15$. Can anyone beat that?

That's kind of expensive. If you're smart like me, you can get the woman to pay. If you know that the sparks don't ignite, when the check comes and she offers to pay, let her!

Yeah, and you better put-out too. If I paid for everything, I expect to get laid later. 🙂

That's why it's best for me to split the tab with the guy.

dam man thats a really nice story.

Hey VN meansstands for Vietnam right? And what is jungle brain? I'm guessing this is so and because I was wondering why you didn't get a job for some money right?

I take it you recovered right? How did you recover from *jungle brain*?

Money is important, and I insist on paying my part too. As for food, I prefer good food over expensive food. Too bad sushi is kinda expensive.

I agree with you completely, but I don't like being blatenly used for an expensive night out...
