Dating – Inexpensive Dates
Starting off this series about who pays for dates proved interesting. I am not a millionaire, yet. If a woman was only into me for my money then that relationship would be fake. If the money disappeared then so would she.
So for the money-conscious, what are some good, inexpensive dates?
Dave Ramsey had a few. Here are 20 ideas from About.com. Even AskMen.com had has 10 cheap date ideas.
For first dates I like the coffee or meet for a drink date. It’s inexpensive and allows for a quick getaway if your date is a total bore. When the relationship gets further along I love to cook. Then you can show off your culinary skills.
What about you JamSmooth readers? Surely you have some great date ideas you can share. I know you’re out there, all over the world. Let’s hear what you’ve got.

Yep.. Apre Diem Brie and Baguette, coffee/wine, half hour to hour… 20 bucks including tip…. good deal
