In the midst of an ongoing debate sparked by Galaxy FM’s presenter Evelyn Mic, who suggested women should demand more than Ugx 50k on dates, various opinions have emerged.
Notably, singer Spice Diana stands against the notion that dates should be treated as business transactions.
She believes it’s inappropriate for women to go on dates with the expectation of receiving money afterward, emphasizing that dating is about getting to know each other rather than a financial transaction.
Spice Diana stresses the importance of communication before the date, asserting that unless financial arrangements are agreed upon beforehand, asking for money on a date is unjustifiable.
I think it’s not right because if you decide to meet someone, you’re out there to have conversations and understand more about each other.

She sees the dating experience as an opportunity for conversation and understanding, emphasizing the human connection that should be the focus. For her, it’s about mutual exploration rather than financial gain.
Encouraging a shift in perspective, Spice Diana advocates for women taking the initiative to cover the bills on dates if possible. Drawing from her own experiences, she believes that women lose nothing by occasionally shouldering the expenses.
The singer implies that such gestures contribute to a healthier and more balanced dating dynamic, emphasizing the mutual respect.
