Date within your budget 🙃

What about happy hour next time? Discounted drinks and apps.

Yes! And keep the date shorter than a steak dinner or art gallery.

On the flip side, if I’m bringing dates, I always bring extra fancy medjools. It’s rude to bring cheap dates!

Yep, I never pay for more than coffee, ice cream, movie etc for the first several dates

You sound like the guy I dated that told me I was a gold digger because I ordered two glasses of wine and a lobster dish at dinner. He also said it was rude that I didn’t offer to split the check. Still can’t get over that one.

I’ll tell you what I told him: you should’ve picked a different restaurant if you can’t afford it. Also, my personal rule is, if I wouldn’t order and pay for it myself on a date, business lunch, etc I’m not ordering it.

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

Yet another friend/colleague got engaged this weekend. It’s become impossible to celebrate people’s relationships. I’m a POC woman and I’ve been single since coming to the US 10 yrs ago. A handful of men have been interested but they were not Christian or back in my country. So many childless, single women in my church and I’m terrified I’ll be them soon. My non-Christian family doesn’t understand why I’ll only date Christians, or the dating scene in big cities, so they put pressure on me

The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

It would be a website/app that allows users to upload pictures of items and post a one-time review, and allows others to like/dislike the item. They would be rewarded for each item they review.
