Then stop going out for dates. Who convinced you that capitalism has to be a third wheel on your dates? Y'all too dependent on market capitalism to provide for you.

Where are they gonna go? We destroyed most of our third places, or made them so expensive to extract maximum profits.

Dinner is expensive, movies are expensive, small friendly local shops have been disappearing in favor of sterile corporate ones.

For a lot of people the only option would then be a home, which doesn't work great for a lot of reasons.
