Opportunity Costs, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE DATE (Even for Girls)

Textbook Definition of Opportunity Cost: the value of the best foregone option.

She-conomic Definition: the experience of going out with the second-best guy/girl you could have gone out is the "cost" of a date with a given person.

Many years ago I was asked to a dance, and I later found out that I was my date's second choice (he asked another girl first, but she already had a date). Had he been able to go out with Girl #1, the wonderful, intellectually exciting experience he would have had by spending the evening with the Sassy She-conomist would have been the opportunity cost of going out with Girl #1. Make sense?

LOL.
