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.
