1. if you have restrictive expenditure. go on dutch with your partner. your partner should be able to understand your environment.. like not rich or wad. and be more understanding thus going on dutch?
2. like watching movies or eating dinner can pay your own things by your ownself?
3. celebration on special occasions for couples can be like a stroll in de park, making things for your partner, cooking for your partner instead of going to restuarants?
haha. i can only tell you a few of this things bah. x)

Ok. Let's not condemn money-loving girls, as I think alot of ppl might reply to ask u to leave her. Lolz... Anyway, let's call her strategy practical. Let's see... If you're trying to make an impression here, without the involvement of astronomical amounts of money, u can consider the following: 1. Cheap but d**n nice food in a clean hawker centre, best if it's near the beach so that u can bring her there for some romantic moments. 2. Rent some super nice DVDs and watch it with her at home. Maybe there are some chances that u guys may end up hanky-pankying. Chances are about 85%. 3. Bring her to IKEA on the pretext that u need something new in your room. After buying, enjoy that really cheap hotdog outside the cashier for about an hour. Then head home to try fix your new furniture or picture. IKEA furnitures are naturally cheap. 4. For special occasions, maybe try to borrow the place from your folks and whip up something nice for a candlelight dinner. Don't ever bring her to a cheapo western food restaurant for a candlelight dinner coz you're broke. It irritates girls. If u can't cook, force one of your girlfriends to cook something nice for you. U can even use the salt and pepper from your mother's kitchen cabinet for free! 5. Do u drive? Best if you do coz girls like guys who drives them around. Be a gentleman and open and close the door for her. If u wanna spend another romantic evening with her, buy some junk food and drinks from 7-11 and driver her up Mt. Faber. Look at the moon, the trees and whatever is present there. Walk around and maybe she'll get infected by the kissings in the rocking cars and starts to initiate! If u happen to walk up to the expensive classy restaurant there, promise her to bring her there on your anniversary or her birthday. And remember to make true your promise! Always follow these rules if you're trying to make an impression or go out on a date the budget-way: 1. Emphasize on romantic ambience instead of the high-class luxury. I like your idea about kite-flying and picnic. 2. Don't ever go out in groups if you're broke coz some friends might stupidly suggest KTV or movies which might require u to fork out dough for both u and your gf. 3. Don't try to make-do with cheap restaurants and act high-class. 4. Your home is the best place for spending the evening romantically and free-of-charge. 5. Keep repeating how pretty she is to you and how much u love her. But if she's not your gf yet, skip the love part and lavish on the compliments. Look deeply into her eyes whenever the chance arises. 6. Groom yourself well. Don't ever appear sloppish in front of her. Act as cool n as handsome as u can ever be. Few girls can resist the old charm works, especially demanding girls who of course, take into considerations of practical matters more importantly, such as finances and looks rather than the 'inner-self'. For even more demanding gf, I suggest u do the 'hang-up' trick; act as though u are d**n busy and start looking for a part-time job. This is to avoid future 'inconveniences' during dates. But always remember to remind her how much you love her and spend at least one weekday evening and the weekends with her. But when choosing your part-time job, remember, don't look for the nerdy or unpopular ones such as flyer-boy or waiter. Try looking for a job as a DJ in some pubs or bartending. Or else, other jobs such as a cute salesguy in some cool shop or CD shop. Girls dig at cute salesguys but not someone who serves ppl drinks and food in a stupid small restaurant. Try out some of my suggestions and see if they work.

Lolz... if you don't ahve a house or a car to crash in, how about renting two nice sweet bicycles and cycle along East Coast Park. U can also rollerblade if the girl can. Rollerblading is a better choice for my preference coz u guys can hold hands and if the girl is feeling a bit flirtatious, she may even try to trip so tat u can hold her hand. Lolz...
Another place u can consider other than East Coast Park would be Sentosa Sunset Bay. Also the fashion of sun-tanning had died down, it's a been-there-done-that trend, your girl might not resist the idea of spending a morning at the beach playing beachball, swimming, sun tanning, or just plain kissing u. But remember, bring your own pinic basket coz it's really costly to eat there. Bring the picnic on pretext that u're trying to be sweet and had prepared a nice meal for the both of you. Admission ticket to Sentosa is quite cheap. A few bucks will do. After the day on the island, I think your girl must be dead beat to enjoy any night outings. So u can send her home for an early night; saves u the money as well.
If u are even more adventurous, bring her wakeboarding. It's a really cool and fun stuff to do with your girl. But to guys who can't wakeboard, DO NOT ATTEMPT! It's relationship suicide.
And instead of driving up mt. faber, I suggest u bring her to fort canning park for a nice romantic picnic. Or marina bay for a great time kite-flying! Parks I would suggest would be: East Coast Park, Pasir Ris Park, West Coast Park, Mount Faber, Fort Canning, Jurong Hill, Kent Ridge Park, Sentosa beaches, Punggol End, etc. However, some locations are quite far-fetched and u may wanna skip the idea of going there without car coz u might not get transport outta the place! Lolz...
Vivocity also has a fantastic spot, large, spacious and beautiful for couples, just like a park. Scout around the area for it or ask the information counter.
For intimate moments, try swimming. Swimming complexes are noisy and rowdy during the weekends but generally quiet during the weekdays. Avoid evenings at all cost as swimming lessons are about to start and u won't want a class of nosy kids staring at u kissing. Swimming complexes also offer great and cheap food. If u wan a more classy and undisturbed afternoon, try borrowing a membership from someone u know to get admission into one of the country clubs. Ppl who signed up for these CCs are normally golfers so they don't swim much.
Night-time rendevous are quite tricky if you don't have the cash. But fret not, Princess is here to save the day! Bring the girl for a gourmet spin. Don't u guys know that Singapore is famous for it's food? Try places such as Geylang, Kovan, River Valley, Balestier, Boon Lay, West Coast, etc. Anywhere that is convenient for you but remember the distance coz midnight charges are quite rampant. 24-hour and S-11 kopitiams are no-nos. DO NOT venture into Clarke Quay, Orchard, Boat Quay, etc. coz u may end up paying for drinks that may squeeze u dry.
DO NOT attempt to convert your girls into the pool/billiard or gaming religion just because u like it and u know the boss well so u can get discounts. Girls hat waiting for guys to finish their Dota or play a stupid game of balls when she doesn't even see the point of pushing balls into holes with a stupid white one.
And AH! I remembered, Marina Bay is a great place for cheap dates. Buffet steamboats going at 12 bucks per adult, kite-flying and picnics are available during the day, arcade gaming during the night. Cheap fanfare. But the cab fare could be quite a bomb. Arcade gaming are ok compared to lan gaming coz the room is brightly lit and there are other games that interests the girl such as Megatouch and Puzzle Bubble!
Try them out and feedback to me if u need anymore suggestions. Hey, I think I should write a book since I'm so longwinded. Lolz...

Hmm... if you're really looking out for cheap places and with a girl who is kinda practical, u can't keep up the pretence much longer. If you were to go to such places on pretext of being romantic, the novelty will wear off soon and the girl might find u a bore or a scrooge who doesn't wanna spend on her and decides to choose a guy who pursues her with more practical means such as giving expensive gifts, drives her around and brings her to posh restaurants. I suggest you come clean with her about your current situation and let her decide if she really loves you and wanna be with you even though u're kinda broke. But I suggest you really look your best on that day, such as putting on a new mersmerizing perfume or a new figure-hugging shirt that shows off your muscular silhouette. However, if you don't have one, forget the idea and go for better fashion. Maybe style your hair differently. Girls usually go for hunks if they were to choose between a poor hunk and a poor dork.
Otherwise, if she really prefers all the rich and classy dates and presents, I sincerely suggest you placing your efforts on another girl. Get watever you wan done with this girl and move on. She won't appreciate your love and loves everything else but you.
Seriously, do you really think that your girl is a materialistic girl who will leave you because you can't afford to bring her to those expensive places? Holding up a strong front isn't healthy for you. If she's not, then I'd be glad to provide you with more tips on dating places.

yeah exactly, thats what i think although many people would suggest beach as a well-recommended place for romantic dates, i say not. Wind blowing from the beach is salty and the various monsoon wind bring dry wind that damages your skin.
i think its best to come clean with your current situation even before getting together to really know how's the life gonna be like after attachment else more disappointment may fill in. Being a student, i think its more like a lifestyle of gynette in a bgr, literally enjoying the pressence of each other while working company like Princess may deserve a bit of nice surprises.
still, both of your post are realistic and makes sense, nice!
