[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think going dutch is fair, but only as long as it's not defined strictly by how much money you spend but rather by taking turns planning/funding dates, because this spreads the overall burden of planning/paying for dates between you while letting you each pick the kind of date that works for your budget. If your budget is tight and the kind of date you can afford is to cook a nice meal at home and then find a great movie on Netflix that neither of you has seen before, then that's an appropriate date to plan. If he would like to plan his dates as dinner out at an expensive restaurant followed by expensive event tickets and he has the money to do that, great. But you shouldn't have to pay for expensive dates that are outside your budget just because he has expensive tastes. If he can't respect where you are financially (because really, no one should be criticizing someone else for living frugally in order pay off debt), then this isn't a good relationship for you.[/quote]
