not because but because
I want to express the idea like "not because A but because B"
It's an exampale:
I'm not going there not because it's expensive
but because of the date.
I think two "because" might make the sentence tedious. And I'm not sure
how the native speaker express the idea such like this.

Having two "because" is totally fine! I am not a native speaker, but I heard so many times native speakers saying that. :)

No, the two "becauses" is fine. That is how a native would say it.
