Depending on where you are, this is a great avenue for more creative dates. Do something out of the ordinary. Instead of wining and dining her at a fancy restaurant, take her to Chez PatekPhilippe for a candle lit dinner for two. There's always the old standby of pizza and a movie. Do a Picnic Lunch somewhere. Get her involved in a hobby that you enjoy. I turned my ex onto beer because I loved home brewing. She and I would come up with a beer idea and brew it to completion together and then reap our benefit by having a cheap night in together with a few beers and a movie. Being low key and creative was one of the few things I was glad I did in college, as one of my ex's loved the unusual approach (and the beer we brewed) and her roommates thought I was a sensitive romantic type for doing that.
Also, try thinking outside the city you are in. If you have a car, despite the cost of Gas, find a farm and go apple/pumpkin picking or find a way to make a day out of an event. If you're in Manhattan, take a train to someplace unusual from Penn Station for relatively cheap. Go spend the day in Center City, Philadelphia. It'll cost you 36.50 Per Person (21.50 RT NJTransit + 15 RT Septa 6 Zone ticket for the R7 Line into Philly) and is a great way to do something outside the box given the proximity.
What if you would prefer to do something inside the box?
Either you sling crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
That was beautiful. Bravo.
I would suggest craigslists hookers. Don't expect models with no cash flow.
wait wait wait..craigslist has hookers?
why am i only finding about this now?
Do they deliver???
..haha
right. craigslist has been providing cheap hookers for a long time now. but frankly they're just too unattractive most of the time. might as well spend a bit more at eros-ny.com or something.
i remember back in spring 2002, there was a mini 'baby boom' attributed to people 'staying in' around 9/11.
Honestly, I would make it cheap not bar cheap maybe a TGI Friday's and hit a club nothing too flashy.
That sounds too high school. maybe skip the club then and just go home after TGI Friday.
Along with the cheap is good, it depends on the cheap. Cheap as in "dive bar" or a TGI Friday's could be viewed as tacky. If you want cheap, and are looking for something more inside the box, try and find a number of off the beaten path restaurants and try them. You'd be surprised as what you can find that's great food and reasonably priced. A small little joint that looks like a Dive may in fact be a hidden gem. Bring a bottle of wine or two and you can have a night out for under 70.
Also, cross the river into Hoboken and explore there. It's Jersey, I know, but it's also a bit cheaper. For a night out in Manhattan, I can get between 1.5 and 2 nights out depending on where I go in Hoboken.
Dating during a recession - Part Deux (Originally Posted: 10/21/2008)

How sad. Women in New York, I tell you. My friend who uses match.com always complains about this phenomenom. With no mutual friends or acquaintances caught up in the middle, the chronic online dating women apparently love going out for free dinners with random dudes 4 nights/week, and then ditching them.
How is this Amanda Green chick ever going to get a date again?
Pretty sad if this is what it comes down to ladies.
Do they not have feedback mechanisms on these sites?
Now that I think about that would be a great idea... especially if you're just in the market for a casual encounter type deal.
Booty calls unaffected by recession. (Originally Posted: 02/10/2009)
I think we all know that just about every area of our lives has been touched by the recession in one way or another, whether it be pinching pennies, stocking up on Ramen Noodle or rocking the unemployment line. So not surprisingly, this coming weekend’s Valentine’s Day festivities are projected to be somewhat dismal, at least as far as candy and flowers go.
The good news is the economy has had virtually no affect on peoples’ sex lives. In fact, even though googly eyed couples are expected to cut back on what they spend on their significant other this year, they’re not going to be skimping on action in the boudoir.
In fact, a whopping 79% of those who are lucky enough to be “getting some” say that the horrendous state of the economy has had little to no affect on their sex drives. Well, why not, it’s free right? (Losers who have to pay for it were mysteriously left out of the study) So if you have the opportunity, whip out the Barry White, chill a fine boxed wine, pick up a couple of cheeseburgers from the dollar menu (if you REALLY like her, throw in the double apple pie) and get nasty. If you prefer girls of the inflatable variety, even better!
Gives a whole new meaning to the term “stimulus package".
Props on the two apples pies, they always lead to a guaranteed slay.
sometimes the double apple pies are better than the booty call
ur just employed!
The world has changed. And we must change with it.
ahaha cornelius
