If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

When we take another person [an adult], he would only order soup or a side salad off my meal and eat off my plate. Then he'll ask for a doggy bag to pack up everyone's leftovers, even the garnish, lemon in the drinks, butter pads, etc.. CHEAP doesn't begin to describe his behavior. I try to plan our outings where we avoid mealtimes on the road or I pack a hearty snack to avoid embarrassment. I should have seen the writing on the wall. Our first Valentine's day he handed me a brown paper bag with a roll of Spree hard candies in it. He included the receipt.

For instance, we went out to dinner and he would only order soup. It was weird. I didn't care, I ordered what I wanted. I think he grew tired of that so he invited me to a picnic at the beach. So I go to his house and he said, well, let's go to the grocery store and we bought a sandwich and soda's. Then we went to the beach and he pulled out this skanky blanket from his trunk. There was no thought to it, no plan, just trying to be cheap. No picnic basket with wine and cheese--just a deli sandwich, a coke and a dirty blanket. I refused to sit on, by the way. And for the record, I was making him beautiful dinners with wine and flowers--so he wasn't paying for everything. I am well out of this one, for sure. I dated a guy who was rather cheap.

Planning your first date will keep you away from financial as well as emotional troubles. Make sure that everything is well- planned, prepared and reserved. Knowledge of the place and the price will be the light on your way to your first date. That’s right, being an advanced person is always an advantage.

It's easier to make a move when the partner is already in the apartment. How about a romantic dinner at the apartment? It’s easier to make a move when the partner is already in the apartment.

The fellow invited me to join him for lunch at a restaurant of his choice. When we sat down, he asked if I minded that he used a coupon. Of course, I didn’t. We all need to save money. What I didn’t anticipate was him pulling out a “buy one entrée, get a second entrée free” coupon and then expecting me to pay for my meal and the tip. He handed me cash for his soda and left the table immediately. I was stunned. There was no third date." Yikes. “The absolute worst date I had was actually a second date.

If you go out, make it for drinks and appetizers, not a full dinner. It's more casual and fun, should save a little bit of money. Or go for clever ideas. I recently took a date to a byob jazz bar she's never been to before. Cover wasn't expensive and had 2 bottles of wine at home already. Was a great date and didn't spend a lot.

This is a cool article because it deals with finance and well...dating. I also like it when dates plan something interesting and because it's different than the usual dinner and a movie which is nice . And it shows that he took the time out to plan something creative for me and that's always appreciated. Can’t believe he stuck you with the bill.

Although I have not experienced using coupons for a date, I can see why it is never a good idea to have someone you invited for a date, pay for your dinner or lunch. Besides, fred is right. It's a scam. :) Great article. Although I have not experienced using coupons for a date, I can see why it is never a good idea to have someone you invited for a date, pay for your dinner or lunch.
