One of my SBs loves to go out to eat after our BCD time and engage in long heartfelt conversations with me.  Takes no additional planning and is very cost effective.  My other regular SB just loves to go for motorcycle rides with me!  She'll drive 50 miles from her home to mine, boink my brains out, and then we both put on our riding gear (I bought her the jacket, helmet and gloves) and fire up one of my bikes and go for a ride.  I let her choose her favorite bike from my collection in the garage. We usually stop en route for food, or at least ice cream, before she has to return home. So maybe my advice is buy a motorcycle??  Seriously, I've never had the problem of a girl interested in designer handbags.  My SBs have all been more practical minded, at least so far.  Guess I should count my blessings!

My current like me to take her through the Wendy's drive through on the way home.

As always thanks for sharing your wisdom

When I date college age girls at large universities I have found buying good seats to the big sporting events to be exciting for them. At basketball games especially they usually sit in a rowdy student section with bad seats. For the price of a great bottle of wine I scoop up last min resale tickets on seat geek and get her Courtside. She enjoys the Instagram moment so close to the court and the energy of the arena has her primed and adrenaline going for after the game. It's fun for me to turn heads and see and be scene with her too.

Same goes for theater tickets. Seat geek and the like for last minute tickets she would never buy for herself.

I'm in Vegas next week my previous arrangement there graduate last month and haven't had much luck on the site since diving back in. Admittedly I aim super high in terms of looks. Lots of emails back and forth but so far most are in the low to mid four figures *per date*. Didn't used to be this way in Vegas. Too bad. I'm in it for the long term and they are missing out on a quality, genuine, attractive long term guy.
In Vegas I like the show and concert tickets especially. The shows at 90mins. In and out. More time for fun.

I don't have as much experience in long-term arrangements. I did take one to the beach for a couple of days.
But one was really thrilled when I got her a cute skirt and stockings from one of the Chinese e-commerce sites. Cost me all of $12! Yes I'm a cheapskate but she suggested it because petite sizes work for her.

Temu and Ali Express are similar and also dirt cheap!
