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 (fortune.com)

Holy shit. And here I thought that the price of a cup of coffee was less than $10.

Because that’s what you do on a first date - coffee and chat, either at the coffee house or on a walk near it.

Spending $$$ on a first date is a great way for any guy to get hosed, and just sets up unrealistic expectations. You don’t do anything expensive until several dates in, once compatibility and mutual interest have been confirmed.

coffee house dates are awful. they are not romantic or and they are in the middle of the day so you have to go on a weekend.

coffee places are not open at night during the week anymore.
