I don’t know if this is the right place to post.

The pandemic has been rough and I decided to start dating. I’m making less than I did before and never had a problem paying on dates. I’m doing okay but I’m watching my money more. I’ve been on 10-15 dates in the past year and notice not a single women said thank you for taking them out. Did something happen during the pandemic? Sometimes they would offer or pay half or do a fake/real wallet grab. Not a single moved was made. I realize that I was spending $50-150 per date. I spent over 1 grand on dates in the past year. Maybe I’m just stupid or looking at this all wrong but I could of invested that money into myself and been better off than this nasty use feeling.

The money isn’t the issue, it’s the feeling.
