When it comes to love, you shouldn’t cut corners. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a cheap date every once in a while. Going out to fancy dinners is fun, but if you want to save money, a picnic on the beach or a walk in the park can be just as romantic.

with my ex boyfriend, we went once on a date accompany by my little sister! we went to the cinema, on the way back, the car just stopped on the road, while trying to repare it, the cops came and asked for our identity card. My little syster didn’t have hers, so they took her to the commisariat and during that time, mu mom keeps calling to ask if everything was okay (like she has a 6th senses lol)


I didn’t know how to tell her that one of her daughter has been take by the cops, i wanted to go with my syster when the cops took her but my ex boyfriend panicked and said “are you crazy ? how can i take you back home with only you ? it’s hard enough to tell your mom about one daughter . What will happen if i go back alone and tell her that her 2 daughters got taken by the cops ? ” 


We took a taxi , went to find my syster and went back home together (he was out of money so i paid for the taxi)


we always had that kind of “no-luck” on all our dates . hahahahaaa it was funny i think about it  ^^!

I’m a simple person,


I think i’d be a little uncomfortable in a expensive place. Beyond it, in my opinion simple place such as park, cinema, beach is the better choose for first date

the most noticible goal of dating is introducing each other personality.and if it’s held in cheap way ,it shows their board atteduded.

I like costly dates so long as I don’t have to pay the bills. As for cheap dates I guess strolling in the park or sunbathing on a beach together would be pretty nice even though it won’t cost you a anything.

It doesnt matter to me if it is a expensive or cheap date because the important thing is the person who are you dating.


Some examples of fun cheap dates could be going to the swimming – pool, for a walk in the forest, to play billar…

I believe it is all the matter of right places and right timing. The wise and proper balances between fancy dates and cheap ones would be ideal. However, I agree with Amy’s point of view that a really cheap date on the very first date would annoy most of girls.

I don’t think it’s nice spend more money you really can just to impress the first time. Even that I don’t also like having a date in some nice restaurant but at the time it’s less expensive… I think the guy can be creative and think about some cheap but special date to the first time… even to show that he really wants make that time special and unforgettable!

well, dates are wonderful and it should be like a beautiful / unforgettable memory..


going to cheap dates sometimes is really fun , it feels like home.


but, the FIRST DATE ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, NO WAY. guys , never do that. 


it will make you look odd. it will obviously show that how much important she is for you….!!!  then do you wanna ..??? NO


make the first date , the best you can. other times its ok.


FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE LEAST IMPRESSION.
