no way! it takes years to build that special something that allows you to laugh at years of bungled trips to the mall, dining out experiences, etc... i would rather start sooner than later! (besides that, whoever that someone is and where ever they are, well... they have alot of catching up to do because i have two friends i've known for over 10 years now and someone is going to have to get along with not only me but be agreeable with them too...) if something special is truly there, then neither myself nor my significant other will be worried about spending money (would probably have an understanding, ex: anything over 80 dollars we need to agree upon or atleast budget for) and that's the end of the story!!!! i've lived off of less than 15K for my entire college career and i live very very well! i couldn't imagine my significant other ASKING me to go have a beir and hang with the guys. Unless we made special plans in advance, then if we truly cared about each other then neither of us would think of canceling our special plans.
