Over the past year people have been noticing that everything from food to cars to electronics and clothes are more expensive than ever – and while this certainly makes an impact on your monthly budget, it can also put a damper on your dating life. Via VICE:

According to a recent survey conducted by Dating.com, 52 percent of respondents reported holding back from even dating in the first place, so that they could save the money spent on clothing, gas, dinner and drinks and public transportation. The survey also found that 58 percent of respondents would much rather get to know their date first before doing any monetary investment. 

Another survey earlier this year by a dating app also found that almost half of its users are more concerned with the costs of dates now versus a year ago, and that people prefer sober dates because they’re more affordable.
