Low Budget Dating - Again?? Need Input

Even though I can say I resisted dating yet another guy that clearly makes less money than I do and is on

You know I like your words "would rather be out in the fresh air walking than indoors at home".
After my experiences with men I decided that if a guy is in worst financial position than myself, then there is a very strong reason: addiction, bad choices, irresponsability, mental/emotional issues etc. and that I need to just keep moving.
I think your instincts to not let him hang out at your apartment are very good. I know what you mean about your apartment being your sanctuary. In my last relationship I allowed the man into my apartment on the third date, even though it didn't feel right to me, and somehow I ended up feeling the whole relationship was rushed. Maybe I never really got a chance to catch my breath after that. Taking your time is the way to go!
As far as the finances, I too have found that when a man has serious financial issues there are often emotional/psychological issues as well. Proceeding with caution is a good idea.
That said, I agree that there are so many things you can do very cheaply on a date and you can have a really good time. Just taking a long walk can be really nice.
Thank you, thank you Stephanie for your reply.
He doesnt appear to be rushing things, based on what you posted.
Well...I kind of want the "dance" part since I have not really dated that much.
I think that you go out your way to "accommodate" your cheap dates,
