Most of us would let our dates pay for a drink or two. But this single mum went a few hundred steps further, by putting a price on a night out with her!

 

And she's not a cheap date. 

 

In just 18 months, the LA mum (32) made more than $5,000, charging men $100 - 250 for the pleasure of wining and dining her! 

 

Her money-making really rocketed last summer when she met an entrepreneur for dinner. 

 

Throughout their evening together, she mentioned a burgeoning app she had created - and her date was so impressed that he invested a whopping $2 million!

 

Prior to that, the single mum to eight-year-old Lorenzo had bad credit and was struggling to keep her head above water.

 

 

In November 2014, needing to make more money to survive and provide a better life for her son, she turned to dating site Whatsyourprice.com , where attractive women can charge men for dates. 

 

She says as well as putting food on her table the lure of experienced men with business backgrounds was also a factor as she hoped they could help with her app, Joiride, a luxury taxi service driven by attractive women .

 

While she admits some women would be aghast at the idea of being paid to date, Miss DeFazio believes she should get compensation for her time. 

 

"I don't view myself as an escort. I view myself as a single mother," she said. 

 

"It makes sense for me to get paid to go on a date because I have to pay for a babysitter, I have to pay for parking and I have to pay for gas. 

 

"Dating is an expense in 2016. You don't want to spend all that money and you end up across from a guy you can't stand and you've wasted your time and your money. 

 

"I feel sites like this are great because I can cover my expenses and put a bit of cash in my pocket."

 

Some of the men would write her a thank-you card for going on the date – with cash enclosed. 

 

 

However, although the men have showered her with gifts and spending up to $600 in a single evening, she said that they came across as sensitive and shy.

 

"Some of the guys seem like if they didn't have the website, they wouldn't talk to a lot of women so it allows them to make that approach," she said.

 

"It's like an ice-breaker. They give you $150 for the chance to talk to you even though you wouldn't look at them on the street."

 

While Samantha has been on twenty dates, not a single one has turned into a romance, and she maintained that she has never gotten intimate with her potential partners.

 

"I'm not in a relationship right now but that doesn't mean I've given up hope," she said. "I'm still trying and I'm going to keep using the website because it's a great way to meet people."
