Synonemous with cheap date.

A cheap date is better than a cheapskate.

Nice pun. :D

Going Dutch does also mean no ties or obligations.

Going Dutch seems to be impossible when one is growing old.

I don't know that many persons in their forties or more who are still fancy-free (which seems to be a sort of synonym for "going Dutch", according to you).
