Tough Date

Going Dutch on Your First Date

Most of us won't mind handing out some cash now and then even though economic times are tough. However many of us need a break occasionally from the relentless financial pressures we face. So when you book a posh restaurant for your first date, make sure you are both aware of how the tab will be split.

The anticipation leading up to the night has set the scene for a memorable occasion. You both show up separately but on time at a pre-arranged restaurant that has an exceptional reputation. It goes without saying that any restaurant with a fine reputation will usually charge accordingly. You and your date have both come prepared with plenty to talk about to avoid those uncomfortable silences that can be all too familiar on a first date. Everything is going great, what could possibly go wrong?

The restaurant certainly lived up to its reputation, but they certainly know how to charge if the menu is anything to go by, and when the bill turns up at the end of the third course, you guessed right - $380 for a three course meal and two bottles of wine!! With such a romantic environment, and you and your date seemingly forming a chemical connection, it's pretty easy to see how you lost track of the escalating and ensuing cost.

After you and your date discuss the enormous dinner tab sitting on the table in front of you, are you both thinking the same thing (who's paying)? As tradition goes, the man usually pays, but these days, tradition stands for little in the land of love. Or did she ask you out for dinner, so you expect that she will automatically pick up the bill? And anyway, whose idea was it to go to such a ridiculously expensive restaurant? It's amazing how the bill at the end of dinner can sour the mood.

All the same, you can see where this is heading, so you make the noble gesture and fix up the bill, but still, that almost sour taste in your mouth has turned slightly bitter. And before you know it that all too familiar uncomfortable silence is all over the pair of you, and instead of a good night kiss, you both make a hurried exit in opposite directions.

Even though it sounds trivial at the time, it's important to get a handle on who is paying the bill before the night starts. No longer is it automatically assumed the man pays. Times have changed and we live in a society of equality. And if you are in doubt or are worried about offending your date, you can always go Dutch!!

You are not necessarily a cheapskate, but times are tough, so sharing the burden is something that we should all consider from time to time in order to maintain the lifestyles we are accustomed to.
