I dated a guy a long time ago that was ridiculously money conscious. Even when he wasn’t paying, all he could think about was the bill, the tip, the cost in total and it was extremely frustrating. Finally I asked my father for advice about what I should do in my situation and my dad, simply said, “It’s not about how much the food costs, it only matters what you want to eat.” So let me ask you this, “What do you want to eat?” Focusing on what you want is important.

We could get what we wanted by simply pursuing those who accepted our interests. But this isn’t the case. Singles have agendas. Some of us want something serious while others (mostly men) want to ‘see what happens’. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I don’t want to date.
