First date = 10$ all inclusive.
Second = 10 – 20 (lounge or similar 10, games or similar 20)
Third 45 – 75 (Food plus possible parking).
And that is all paid by the boy. I would feel better if this new “charge” was only paid by the boy as well, as he already has an advantage in the dating process. The girl may feel there is less of a choice to continue.
anuran: When you want a Lakewood boy, you have to find a source for Lakewood boys (i.e. a shadchan). That is a large part of the problem. If you marry local (as most did back then), a “professional” shadchan is not needed.
Lo Yitzloch: I would suggest that if you are spending that much time per date, you should state your fees up front and make them sign a contract, charging per date (or per hour). You will find that you will have a lot more time.
AZ: You are (incorrectly?) assuming getting a date is the ends (and deserves compensation) instead of the means to the end. That is due to the sorry state we are in, where girls need to fight for dates, not spouses.
