First Dates In New Jersey Are Becoming More Expensive, But Just How Much?
Going on a first date definitely isn't cheap these days. That's why I always say the best first date spot is a local coffee shop. It won't break the bank, and it's just a way more relaxed atmosphere, so it takes a lot of the pressure off.
If you're out at a restaurant having a big meal and there's very little connection between the two of you, you're pretty much stuck sitting there just waiting for the check to come, and it's not going to be cheap. It's definitely going to cost you!

I was reading about how much money the average person spends on a first date, and it's way more than you would spend on a cup of coffee. I guess most people are still opting for dinner, but you have to be prepared to pay up.
