I'm currently single but hopeful, and keeping things in mind about how I might do dates. I don't have very much money, and a lot of what I do have I end up giving out to homeless people in Chicago. Any money I spend on a restaurant is money I can't give to those who need it more; not that restaurants are bad, but I could spend far less money if I cooked than buying something by going out to eat (for background, when I lived in my own last summer, the only time I went out to eat was when a friend visited, who was on the way to the restaurant when I saw her).
It occurred to me that this might actually work really well for a relationship; a joint agreement of saving money for those who need it more would show a great sign of character with the person I would want to date. Thinking out to marriage & kids, that would set a really good example for the children, and teach them something very valuable.
There's another idea I had about food & the homeless in Chicago; what about inviting a homeless guy to lunch with us? We could treat the guy like a human, have interesting conversation (as tends to happen when you talk with these people), and after lunch we could wish him a good day, then spend time as just me & whoever my girlfriend would be.
These were just my thoughts; what do you think?
