Paradise Found (But My Wallet's Crying!)

Paradise is real! I'm three days into my amazing vacation and having the time of my life.  Met a gorgeous girl, and we've been inseparable.  Cocktails at the Hilton, exploring hidden gems... it's been a whirlwind! But here's where things get tricky.  Two nights in a row, after a romantic dinner and drinks (all on me, naturally), she's hit me with the shopping spree request.  Now, I'm all about chivalry, but my bank account is starting to feel the pinch!  Anyone have any tips on how to politely decline shopping requests without ruining the vibe?  It's a learning curve for sure, balancing the romance with the reality of travel expenses.  This got me thinking about the rising costs of travel and dating, especially when you're exploring a new place. It seems like everyone's talking about 'travel inflation' these days – flights, accommodation, and even those seemingly small expenses add up quickly.  What are your best money-saving tips for travelers?  How do you navigate the financial aspects of dating while traveling?
