How much is my salary? As the spender or the spendee, we asked seven Nigerians how much they think a first date should cost. Men must pick me up, pay for fine dining and drop me off.
The men I go on dates with have money and like spending on experiences, so we just order without looking at the bill.
And yes, I can spend that money on any date, not just a date with a man. That amount of money works well for the kind of first dates I like or take people on. We can go grocery shopping, I make a home-cooked meal while I talk with my date, eat, drink and watch something on TV. I think the cost of dates depends significantly on the city you live in.
But in Lagos? First dates usually involve food because eating is excellent, but I try to add things like watching a movie or going to an art gallery. But no matter what you do on your first date, sha hold the money. This is Lagos. E fit be police wey go stress you. Plus, you may spend more than your budget on a date. With my current partner, our first date was at an arcade, which was nice. You can also plan a picnic for two with this money.
The price of a first date is dependent on a couple of things. Sometimes things have been intense since day one, so they want a more intimate date.
