<prompt> Human: My weekly income is about 1300 after taxes, my GF loves a particular place and it comes out to be about 40 - 50 a person :S she wants to go for my birthday and that will mean I we will spend 1001300 7.6 of my weekly income on one dinner :S Is this an excessiveridiculous amount ? Do I need to talk to her about this and just say we cant really afford it. x200B;What rule of thumb would you use for the price of a dinner ?  <response>: Honestly, 100 for a special dinner is nothing. That being said, if you are uncomfortable with spending that much, just tell her you dont like that idea. Its your birthday after all. Now if it were her birthday, you would be SOL
