TubularTittyFrog comments on Dating has gotten so expensive that nearly half of U.S. singles say it's no longer worth it, as the average night out approaches $200

Yeah, I am in Boston, it's as expensive as the bay area.

Coffee is only available during the day. Drinks are expensive.

If you hit it off, you have to keep seeing them and going on more dates... dinner dates cost $200. that's just how life is.

You can't have a romantic relationship based on getting coffee at noon on saturdays.

Depends on who you’re interested in. I’m frugal and had no interest dating someone who wanted to blow hundreds going out every weekend. Is it happening because they’re demanding it or because you assume you need to do it?

cool. I have never met anyone 'frugal' in my dating pool over a decade.

I've met people who seem frugal at first, but then start demanding very expensive 'favors' from you though!

I met one lady where we had nice low cost dates, but then she asked me to pay her $5000 car repair bill.

It's how dating is. If you want to date, you have to pay. There is no getting around it.
