"Cheap dates are great, but we all like to splurge once in a while, right? But for most of us, splurges come only on special occasions, and let&amp;#x27;s be honest, no splurge date is going to involve a private plane to the opera along with a seven-course meal. Because we are not a hooker with a heart of gold being romanced by Richard Gere. We&amp;#x27;ve got to splurge within budget, am I right? Enter the high-low date. In fashion, the concept of high-low means to mix and match your expensive, high-quality designer pieces with your affordable, trendy, low-cost stuff. A Marc Jacobs skirt paired with an H&amp;amp;M tank, for example. And it works for dating too. A high-low date combines a splurge-y, fancy date-night activity with a cheap money-saver. There are two benefits to it: 1) You don&amp;#x27;t have to completely clean out your bank account to afford it. And 2) It&amp;#x27;s totally fun to hit up an unexpected place in your fancy-date best. (Think about wedding after-parties where the bride is hanging out in a dive bar in her gown. So fun!) An unintentional high-low date from Sex and the City but a perfect example. Here are a few high-low date ideas to try out with your guy: A fancy, four-star meal, followed by cheap canned beer at your local dive bar. Burgers and fries eaten at a diner counter, followed by classic cocktails, live music, and maybe even a dance at a swanky jazz club. A pricey, gourmet French cooking class, followed by milk shakes at the Dairy Queen. Floor seats to the ballet, followed by kicking off your heels for some friendly competition at a pool hall. A not-so-new release at the dollar movie theater, followed by a bottle of good champagne at the most expensive hotel bar in town. Do you like the idea of a fancy/casual combo for a high-low date?
