View Full Version : How often do you go out on dates??


Brad Russ

On average, I'd say I probably go out on about 2 dates a month. I was with a few of those online dating websites for a couple years, and that's where I got the majority of my dates, as well as where I met my last girlfriend, but I recently took my name off those sites, and so my dating life will likely become even less active over the next few months. When I have a girlfriend, I probably go out on about one or two dates a week. How about all of you, how often do you date?? This question is for singles, as well as married people.

I can understand that. Dates can be fun and everything, but they sure do take a toll on your wallet. When I first broke up with my girlfriend, I was totally inconsolable, but then when the month went by, and I saw how much extra money I had in my wallet, that definitely helped to soften the blow. :lol: That's one of the benefits of just dating, as opposed to having a girlfriend. When you're just dating, you and the girl usually split the bill 50/50, while when you have a girlfriend, you always have to pay. Despite that though, I still prefer having a girlfriend to casual dating. The good feelings I get when I have a girlfriend, far outweigh not having much money in my view.

I'm with you....

I'm kinda married, and we haven't gone on a date in about 2 years, but the marriage is only for a little while later (perhaps the lack of dates is the problem lol), so I'm thinking my dating will become even less if that's possible :)

That's one of the benefits of just dating, as opposed to having a girlfriend. When you're just dating, you and the girl usually split the bill 50/50, while when you have a girlfriend, you always have to pay.

That's where I would draw the line. If I went on a date and the girl expected me to pay completely, I'd tell her that isn't fair and if she expected me to pay, I'd say "Ok, well if that's the case, you won't be going on any more dates with me." and I'd leave and make her pay. :lol:

But in all honesty, I think whoever asks the other person on the date should pay. If the girl asks the guy to go with her to eat, it implies her saying "Would you like me to take you out to eat?" which means she should offer to pay. Same thing if its a guy who asks the girl on a date. It's not fair to expect the guy or girl to pay every time, and I wouldn't allow that treatment.

I completely agree with you. I don't ask random people out right away. I had a err... "girlfriend" up until a few weeks ago and like you said, we just hung out and went places, and I guess they were dates but not like a 'date, date'.

if you call a date going out for dinner and a movie then none. if you call it going out drinking and just hanging out, then plenty. i think the old dinner and a movie standard is lame and outdated. sure, once you get serious fancy dinners are nice, but im not going to be throwing cash on someone i'll probably never see again.

The question is - what is considered a date?

A game of 20 questions where if you get enough of the answers right, you get to spend one night with a member of the opposite sex. The more answers you get right, the more of your life you get to spend with him or her.


That's one of the reasons I don't do it. I know that rejection is guaranteed before I even try.

If you qualify a date as going out to dinner and/or a movie, Anthony and I go out on about 2 dates a month. For the most part we are fine with just hanging out at one of our houses. That and we are both broke college students.

Nah, no worries, you are still young; and also, I find that hard to believe that you do not have a boyfriend!??!; you are a doll:)

Thanks. :) That's really nice of you. :) But offline, I'm quite shy, and I don't really go out much. I think some people tend to find me a bit standoffish and boring. Either that, or if I'm talking animatedly about my beliefs in astral projection and alternate realities, they usually think I'm crazy.
