The Relationship Tip

Even if you have a job, the concept of a “date” has changed drastically. Katie Rich and her boyfriend are both actors for Second City, but don’t take anything for granted. “In this economy, our dates often stem from what could be tax-deductible, or how can we be on a date while working,” she says. Recent outings have included the Lincoln Park Zoo (free), coffee shops (how slow can you sip?), and “going to all the statues on Lake Shore Drive and figuring out what the hell they are,” says Rich. But it’s difficult to change dating habits.

Yeah but a recession has a way of forcing the issue.

Umm..well more like insane cheap date ideas. These two have issues and thankfully they recorded them on video.
