Is this bad economy affecting dating and relationships? Of course it is!  You know how we women are!  A large number of us determine a man’s worth according to the amount of money he spends.

Maybe it’s time to cut a guy some slack.  Yeah, you do stand a chance of getting duped!  The cheap guys who were cheap in a booming economy, now have a reason to be cheap.  But hey, you might really get to know a cool cheap guy.

There is nothing wrong with going out for drinks during the time that they offer the “drink specials.”  With the current gas prices, guys may attempt to give us women a two drink minimum, but don’t get offended.

It’s summer time; don’t start complaining because he’s taking advantage of outdoor activities. For instance, instead of going to a pricey restaurant, he may suggest a picnic in the park, hanging out by the pool, or chilling on the patio.

Look at it from a positive perspective, more “talking” and less body bumping.  Besides, it’s too damn hot for all that!  People move too fast anyway, so now you can finally get to know a guy for who he really is, the way dating should be.

Tell me what you think…
