There is nothing wrong with saving money on a date, especially when everyday expenses already stretch many budgets. In fact, 67% of active daters surveyed by LendingTree said they would not be offended by a date that cost nothing.
The problem with cheap dates usually is not the price; it is the message sent when saving money becomes more important than effort, comfort, or consideration. The best cheap dates feel intentional, while the worst ones leave someone wondering why she bothered getting ready.
