Where tf are you all going on dates? I get pretty drunk and have food at the bar for 42$ every couple weeks. If I was on a date and paying for both of us (personally more into splitting it) it would be like 70$ tops. That's not even close to the cheapest thing you could do. If someone's demanding you spend that much on them from the jump they're probably not worth dating anyway .
Where do you live? Also, most don't take a date to get bar food on a first date.
Midwest. I've done many bar dates but I usually go for coffee for a first date that way it's easy to bounce if we don't click. The bars I go to have karaoke or live music on the weekends and the crowd is chill so it's a good time. If that doesn't sound like a good time to whoever I'm dating, we're not going to click anyway and I'd rather be single than stress out jumping through hoops and spending tons of money trying to impress some girl. I did enough of that in my 20s. It's not worth it.
