I mean, theres kind of a lot between splitting a sandwich at the park, and $200 ๐
Things have absolutely gotten too expensive, but if your idea of a date is $200, probably you have the option to just go on a slightly less lavish date... You can go to some super cute local place and have a wonderful time for way less than that, even with it being a more formal date than a "big mac" at the park. Dates don't have to be high end fine dining to be valid dates. And spending less than $200 hardly limits you to big macs ๐
There are tons of really lovely dates you can go on for a hell of a lot less than $200. Which doesnt change the fact that things are too expensive. But at $200 it's not like you have no other options
