Cheap can also mean tight fisted. I had a date with such a man last summer, I dont expect to be wined and dined but he was the one who suggested an arrangement for the day, anyway sometimes you can just sense the way things would go in this friendship, perhaps it is me but I am very wary of non driving men who drink beer in small halves (and only one of the cheapest brands at that) and carry their own nibbles around in a back pack. Resourcefulness is great but not very romantic, perhaps it is a British thing!
