I am on a very tight budget.
Entertainment and fun things are not things I can afford at the moment.
So if I do go out, it has to been where the event costs nothing.
I also order only water, but make sure to have enough to tip the server.
If I do go out to dinner, it must be to a low cost establishment and I always take half home to make sure I can make another meal of it.
If I go to a place that has a cover charge, I arrive earlier to avoid the cover fee. I tell my friends I am there to save them a good place.
It makes dating tricky because finances are quite private at the beginning of a relationship and not something I'm comfortable bringing up right away.
For Christms and birthday, if someone asks me what I would like, I usually opt for a gift to the cinema or particular restaurants. Then if I am asked by a date where I wish to go, I would suggest the place I have the giftcard. And I treat my date to a movie out, since I have received a free giftcard as a gift.
My kind of Gal.
