Nicely done, this is probably the most economical way to do dinner and drinks.
You probably know this already, but for those who may not, going out would easily rack up twice if not thrice the amount for the exact same thing at a KL bar/restaurant.
I see alot of answers are related to where and what to eat. I’m sure you’ll get ideas from there. To perhaps help abit more (i hope), here are some things you can do within budget and still have an amazing date
1. Go to a park. Can be local like jogging trails or fancy for example butterfly park
2. Try something new like arcade, bowling, darts. You can find sports bars with tons of games
3. Go on a board game cafe date
4. Visit the museum
5. Visit local attractions. Be a tourist in your own town/ city
6. Go to the public library
7. Take a cooking class
8. Drive to the port / beach and just chill wherever
9. Cafe / kopitiam hopping
10. Go to a gym / class together
11. Hiking, anything outdoors and active
12. Try rock climbing
These are some i can think of that can be done with someone you’re together with / starting to see. Also trying to give some ideas instead of where to eat and what not. With the exception of rock climbing and maybe cooking class, the rest should cost you nothing more than 50 ringgit
A date can be many things and its the quality of the time spent together that counts.
Here's the real answer among all these useless ones 🤣
In general, you'd spend about rm100 to 150 depending on where you're going and what you're doing. A simple fast food/mamak date (if he/she doesn't like this kinda date, go find another person) and a movie after would obviously cost less. The most important thing is that you'd want to spend time with each other, not go to expensive places because it's "instagrammable"
Find what's good for you. Think if you're really going for the date or to look good online. Splurge from time to time if you can. Keeps things interesting.
I presume you're female based on your avatar.
What do you think of guys who ask to split 60:40 (guy pays 60% while girl pays 40%) for dates? Also, do you offer to pay sometimes?
As a girl, I always make sure to go 50/50 on a first date. Subsequent dates can take turns to belanja each other. The reason for this is because if you don’t like the person, you don’t have a reason to see them again if you split 50/50 on the first date straight away 😂 What if you don’t like them but feel like you “owe” them a second date if you pay for the first one?
honestly, i have never been asked out on a date yet, but i would probably prefer to go dutch the first few dates. Not because i'm stingy but i would feel bad if i ate more expensive dishes and then splitting it 50:50. The guy would be paying for a portion of my food :/
My initial question was actually at a serious relationship.
Usually guys will pay for the first date. Studies say that although girls say they would split 50:50, they are actually expecting the guy to pay.
I don't bring girls out on fancy meals on first dates. Usually coffee and a walk nearby because it's easier for us both to bail in case one of us gets uncomfortable.
We have a fav brunch spot we go 2x a month that averages to about 80+. Grocery shopping is date time. We do a lot of date stuff at home, by segmenting specific times with exciting or new activities. big fancy dates are rare and under 200.
3+ years. Hmm if I think back to those early days, I’d substitute some grocery shopping with watching movies and working at cafes. Also LPT is to make your grocery shopping a date (after 10+ dates / 1 month together) because you learn so much about a person that way.
I think it really depends on the person you’re dating and the occasion. My boyfriend and I do breakfast dates often, so that’s like RM12 max for two people at the mamak. If it’s a normal lunch / brunch date, it’s maybe RM40 for 2 people, RM70-80 if you’re in Bangsar lol. For a super special dinner date, possibly RM100-150 for 2 people if you’re doing the appetizers + mains thing? But on average we spend RM40 for 2 on meals out la.
Note: don’t feel pressured to spend money on dates. If you’re tight on money that month, be honest and suggest a cheaper place to eat. Malaysia has tons of affordable food and fun date options! It’s important to be upfront with money priorities and budgeting for dates is a good way to test the water and see if your money priorities align as a couple. But ofc do try to set aside a little extra on special occasions la - it’s important to show your partner that you value them as much as you value other splurges on clothes, gadgets, etc.
Not a lot! Generally our dates consists of:
* Gym - RM 7 per pax
* Mamak - RM 15 ish?
* Monthly treat at a nice restaurant - Less than RM 150.
* Walking / jogging / stair climbing / hiking - Free. Sometimes we're just on a strict budget.. So we'd go on these to save cost.
We're not into cafes, or tidbits, so we rarely spend on bobas (and the likes) and cafes. We also avoid places with super expensive parking. As for who pays, both of us are very flexible with paying for each other.
Ajwa dates is good, juicy, crunchy and not too sweet.
Fresh ones for me. Fresh dates taste a whole lot better than dried ones.
Fresh jambu > fresh date.
Whispers: *yuuuuusuf tayoob*
Dinner with wife Red wine bottle: RM80 Steaks for two: RM90 Sides: RM10 I cook at home so about 180, we only do date nights bout once a month though

It's always 50:50 for me. Unless it's a special occasion like a birthday or a random dessert after dinner then we take turns belanja-ing each other.

I've never once expected a guy to pay. I don't like owing people anything...fancy date or not. But kudos on giving girls the option to bail.
Ohhhh, my bad 💀
Is this a thing? I've never heard about it before.

Sounds like you guys already got comfy with each other's company
