As someone has stated, continuing to go on dates when in a relationship is not a luxury, but a necessity to keep the spark alive. Many believe that dating is expensive, and it sure can be! But it's not a requirement. At the end of the day, someone's willingness to spend more on the date is all it is and has no impact on how well you two will "click" or guarantee that you will get a second date. In fact, the best date ideas do not feature sailing on yachts, hot-air balloon rides, or trips to Paris. Instead, it's quite the opposite.
