Dating is expensive—period. Dinner used to be “cute,” but now the bill can easily hit $150–$300, even at regular restaurants. In this episode of The Blissology Podcast, CeCe and Will talk about inflation dating—why date nights feel like luxury trips, how money stress is changing relationships, and what couples can do to stay connected without going broke.

We break down the real pressure couples feel today: rising food costs, expensive entertainment, babysitters, delivery fees, tipping, and the constant temptation to compare your relationship to the highlight reels online. Because the truth is this: Instagram dates don’t equal real-life love.

• Why dating feels so expensive right now (and why it’s stressing couples out)

• How financial pressure can quietly kill romance (even when love is still there)

• The difference between connection vs. performance

• How comparison online creates unrealistic expectations

• Low-cost date ideas that still build real intimacy and effort

• Why “love isn’t a receipt” and what actually keeps couples close

• The conversation every couple needs: expectations, budget, and teamwork

💬 Question for you: What’s one low-cost date you and your partner can do this week that still feels meaningful?
