In addition to all the other challenges we have to face today in the world of "dating" - new acquaintances, we have another problem! Going out on dates costs money, and we're talking about money. Dinner, drinks, fuel, any new tek-tuk purchases, etc, etc. We add here the economic crisis on a macro scale to see this issue differently! The newest term you'll hear next will be "infla-dating" - or the trend of making new dates cheaper as prices have risen from food to oil to everything in between.
The young people of the world themselves, according to some recently conducted surveys, have claimed that making new acquaintances nowadays is expensive, so a budget that is a little friendlier is needed. According to experts, single people are increasingly thinking longer than usual about the person they will date, considering the cost in time, energy and of course, money. According to them, before the pandemic, young people took more risks and made new meetings without thinking long, but since that period, together with the economy, romance has changed significantly.
However, let's look at the bright side. Infla-dating can be a trend with advantages and not just for the wallet. Meetings with less expenses reduce your stress, save you money and most of all you have more fun or in the worst case, (if things don't go well) - at least you don't regret it.
Financially inexpensive dating also removes the stress of "who pays the bill" and in turn makes you more creative. It is easy to go out for a luxurious dinner, but more "difficult" is to create something different to get to know and according to experts in such meetings you get to know the person in front of you better and faster.
Some ideas for your next meetings. Forget restaurants and clubs.
1. Take a long drive in a place you haven't explored before.
2. Grab coffee in an interesting place and walk
3. Attend an event that is organized in the city that you can both go to (for free)
4. Take the dog and the three of you go out
5. Have a picnic if the weather is good.
6. Go dancing
7. Go for a bike ride
8. Be the chef for 1 night
