First signs of a bad first date

[AGDee]

I'm glad The Talker and I are at a phase now where he felt comfortable saying "I have to warn you, I am penniless this weekend". We've both had quite a few unexpected expenses come up in the past couple weeks so we are both broke. I told him that was fine, we can go hang out at a park and use a gift card I have for Red Robin for dinner. Then we can watch a movie on Netflix or On Demand or something. I'm cool with that. We're grown ups and I'm glad he's not embarrassed to say "I'm broke today".

I love that level of comfort, honesty, and respect. Friends (and lovers) need to be able to say their money is funny without feeling lesser than or judged.

That sounds like a fun date to me even if the money wasn't funny. Less is more.

I agree; that sounds awesome (not that you are pennliness but in the sweet, resourceful way you both handled it)!
