1.Have a drink or dessert at home before or after the curvy dating
Most of us love eating out, but when you order a drink or two, a meal, and a dessert you can't resist, your bill can quickly spin out of control. So why not try these things at home instead of at a restaurant? Drink a glass (or two) of wine before your meal, or a cocktail at home, and drink water with your meal. Or go out for a drink and try dessert at home - it's cheap and romantic. A win-win situation!
If you want to spend time with your BBW date, this is a great way to extend the BBW dating and get to know each other better. Next time they can reciprocate by offering you a drink or a snack at their house!
2.Eat separately from your curvy date
Of course, we don't want you to go hungry, but an occasional appetizer, dinner or dessert with your BBW date is a great way to cut costs. It also means you can try more foods, which is never a bad thing. Sharing a dish breaks down any barriers between you and brings you closer - you have to be close. Just don't be possessive and don't get angry if you think they have more than you do - no one likes a date that they can't share!
3.Going Dutch is the new normal
It's 2019, and we're no longer bound by old plus size dating rules. Men no longer have to pay for every date, nor do those who make more money. If you worked it out with another person, that's fine. But if you don't want to do that, or if you're not ready, you shouldn't worry about asking to split the bill - that's what's been done. You don't have to pay separately each time. Make your own rules and do what you and your plus size date are comfortable with.
4.Watch out for restaurant deals
Spending money on curvy dating is almost inevitable, but that doesn't mean you can't spend it wisely. Research venues that offer discounts on meals: usually going out for lunch is cheaper than dinner. If you can't have lunch, look for restaurants with brunch menus or other fixed menus to get a better deal. If you're going out drinking, go somewhere that has a good time.
5.Choose thoughtful gifts, not extravagant ones
Just because you want to save money doesn't mean you have to slack off on courtship. You can still give them elaborate little gifts without breaking the bank. A lovely bouquet of flowers from your local florist, a card written for a special occasion, a photo collage of the two of you, or doing something unique for their house or apartment are all meaningful gifts.
