No matter what the Government says, "we are in a depression!"
Dating can be very expensive. Here are some tips on how to date without breaking your bank.

1. Be honest. Tell your date that times are tough and money is tight.
If they are interested in you they will understand.

2. Don't spend beyond your means on the first date. The first date
sets a precedent! If you over do it on the first date, what are they
going to expect on the second date?

3. Pack a picnic, go to a park, beach or river. Find a secluded spot
and talk. Find out your dates likes and dislikes. Getting to know
each other is the best part of any date.

4. Take a nature hike. There are a lot of free nature trails.
(but be sure to remember to bring the bug spray depending on
where you live.) Also, don’t forget to bring your digital camera.

5. If you are into the bar scene, Find a bar that is having drink
specials. Coin night is any coin buys a drink. Find bars that do not
charge a cover charge. Make sure you take a cab. That will show
your date that you are a responsible person.

6. Today's movie prices are outrageous. Go to a matinee, save
money on the ticket price, have more to spend on the concession.

7. Check your local paper for free craft shows, fairs, and local
entertainment. A lot of different companies put on free outdoor
concerts. Or at least relatively inexpensive ones.

8. Try online dating. This is a great resource to meet singles without
having to spend a lot of money. Chat and get to know someone
first. When you finally meet, it will make it less nerve wracking.
You will already be comfortable with one another. Just think how
much fun you can have chatting with different people at the same
time. You can weed out a lot of people you don’t have anything in
common with before spending a dime.

Here are just a few tips on economy dating. Use your imagination. Believe it or not people do like the simple things in life. Life can be difficult enough. Keep it simple.
