Daily News | Singles are choosing inexpensive dates in a year of rising costs
Aleeza Ben Shalom, a dating coach and matchmaker with Marriage Minded Mentors, said she noticed a shift this year when talking to clients and other singles in her native Philadelphia.
“People do not want to, quote-unqoute, waste money on gas,” she said, adding that they often tell her, “If we’re going to go out, I’d rather spend money on food than getting there.” The economic climate has exacerbated age-old dating issues, too, such as the uneven dynamic that can develop when one partner is in a far better financial situation than the other. For some, Ben Shalom said, it has added stress to their relationships, while others have stayed in relationships longer than they otherwise would have due to financial security, especially if they live with their significant other.
“We’re seeing dinner and drinks are out. Walking dates are in,” she added. “People are definitely just finding ways they can organically connect without the big price tag.”
