As a woman, I often thought to myself while out on a mediocre first date, “This is a lot of money for someone who doesn’t know me very well. Geez, I don’t have to pay for half.” My personal philosophy is that thought shouldn’t have to be a worry! Dating should put the FUN back in your FUNds, not break the bank.

Dating more than just the fight to find the one. Whether you’re single, in a relationship or married for years, I believe dating is a lifestyle important to a relationship’s success! From cheap date ideas, to relationship advice, to affordable fashion/beauty tips to get ready, I write every post on Twenty Dollar Date to help you impress for $20-something or less!

I’m a UCLA graduate and an LA native. You can find me enjoying a mixology cocktail at a hip happy hour, gettin’ physical on a fitness date, or elbow deep in a bag of Doritos 12 episodes into a Netflix binge.

I love hearing from you, so don’t be afraid to tweet or comment your ideas or reviews! Please tag me or use #20DollarDate so I can find them!

I am always looking for dates to feature and businesses and bloggers to collaborate with! For business-related inquiries, please contact [email protected].
