    • It totally depends on the person you are with really. My friend in a relationship hardly spend even though they go out together often.

      depends on individual, what type of girl she is

      There must be a minimum spending per month for you all who are in a relationship. Don't tell me you all don't go out makan, drink, enjoy a bit, watch movie and etc.. All these require spendings. And the guy has to pay for the gal. So all spendings will be multiple by two. If you too indoor, the gal who get bored with you and leave you. The gal may go to look for someone who can give her happiness. (Money = happiness .. no?)

      of course eatin and entertainment stuffs require $$$ , but there isnt a FIXED AMOUNT. Depends how your lifestyle is like. You cant make a gauge just like that.... Are you the kopitiam or hotel restaurant type? and like bryan have said, is your girl the prata or prada type

      and a guy doesnt have to pay every shyt for the girl, you can go dutch.... BUT if you insist then so be it icon_lol.gif

      lastly, who tell you money = happiness??
      You can use $$$ to buy the most expensive bag for her but you may not get the girl angel.png

      If you have the $$$ to buy the most expensive handbang, maybe you will not the girl that you want, but sure have other girls who will want you.

      I think i can roughly understand why you need examples but anyway, I can give you a few. It depends greatly on the type of girl you are dating.

      Type A:

      Eat anything also can, from hawker to fast food to food court (2 meals, drinks not inculded, approx $7). Plus watch movie($9.50 per ticket so $19 for 2) then la kopi at Starbucks/Coffee Bean(2 drinks plus 1 cake, approx $15). For a typical date like this on a single weekend will cost around $41. Sunday not inclusive.

       

      Type B:

      Bane of wallet. Eat cheap restaurant (Olio Dome/NYDC/Breeks, approx $55) only. Nite spot hangout such as pub/disco/wine place (assuming she can't drink much, approx $60). Send her home on taxi (plus going home yourself approx > $25). For a typical date like this on a single weekend will cost around $140. Sunday not inclusive.

       

      Type C:

      Destroyer of wallet. Eat restaurant (other types of more ex restaurants, approx $80+++) only. Nite spot hangout such as pub/disco/wine place (assuming she drinks alot, approx $100++). Send her home on taxi (plus going home yourself approx > $25). For a typical date like this on a single weekend will cost around $205+++. Sunday not inclusive.

       

      Type D

      Cook own food at each other's place (ingredent's cost approx $20), watch DVDs (depends if rent or download.), send her home (depends if last bus for ur own return trip is available, if not then approx $15). For a typical date like this on a single weekend will cost around $35+. Sunday not inclusive.

      Type E

      She pays for everything.

      Type F

      She pays half.

       

      So you see, it really depends on what kind of girl you are dating and wat you 2 are doing. I had tried out the above so I can tell you, but in the 1st place, no one told me such things. So IMHO, you should try it out. At least next time when someone ask u for advice, you can share share. Anyway since you young, it is always good to experience it. But make sure it is not a huge burden for you like Type B and C and dun make a type E out of her. All the best and good luck.
