What's the most you've ever spent on a date?

[asthmaticeog]

Once, between taxis, a fabulous hoity-toity dinner, theater tickets, and drinks after the show, I found myself flabbergasted to have relieved myself of about $400. Seems it worked, though, as it was a first date and we wound up staying together for over a year. ;)

Who else here has had date sticker-shock?

[short bus president]

I once dropped about $200 at Da Nico in NYC's Little Italy, and damn if I wouldn't do it again, if I had the means anymore.

:shrug:

[SpiralHawk]

7. Nope

not in the real world.

10. depends on if you count successive lap dances as a date

Otherwise, it was probably a weekend in Newport, RI with the woman that became my wife.

[Pacifist Patriot]

11. Define date. Is this a single evening event or does a full

weekend together count?

[asthmaticeog]

12. I originally didn't give a shit, but what the hell, single evening.

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. I'll have to answer as a recipient.

When we were dating my husband spent well over a grand on a single date. Fool paid to fly me in for New Year's Eve. We did one of those hotel ballroom packages so I'm not even counting the airfare. If we had the resources I think he'd still pull stunts like that.

[asthmaticeog]

14. DAMN.

Just damn.

[rooboy]

16. Probably about 600-700 dollars...
