Each time you go out on a date, you have an opportunity to negotiate love. If you know how to resolve your differences peacefully, you can turn a potential hassle into a bond that deepens your relationship. Whenever you go out on a date, especially the first one, you discover differences. Not only are you and your date of different sexes, but also you have cultural, family, and personal dissimilarities.
Money is one of the most sensitive areas of difference.
Money may mean generosity to you, while to me it may mean security. You may want to go out to expensive restaurants and shows, while I would rather eat at a diner, take a walk in the park, and save the extra money instead. If we discuss our disagreement openly and honestly, we have a splendid opportunity to learn more about each other. More than likely, our first date will not be our last. In the complicated dating world of the '90's, men and women have different ideas about how to handle money.
