Here are some creative ideas which will help you have fun and express your feelings without hurting your already tight budget:
Go for picnic, long drive etc.
- Pack a picnic and take your date for a bike ride to a secluded location for a special, inexpensive getaway.
- Spend a day together at the beach. You can snorkel and explore sea life, collect sea shells and driftwood, go for a swim, or have a rock skipping contest.
- Go for a drive together where you only stop or turn when you encounter a pre-determined area or event, such as a garage sale sign or a street that starts with the letter M.
- Find a swing set, playground or Water Park and spend the cheap date there together.
- Visit the zoo together.
- Make a special cheap date dinner for your sweetie, complete with sexy music and candles.
- Learn how to do a strip-tease and perform it for your partner. ( Janu how about this one? :-p )
- Pull out some bug spray and a cozy blanket and curl up together in your backyard or a local park for some stargazing.
- Take in amateur night at the coffeehouse, bar or comedy club. You could also get up on stage yourself and belt out a tune, tell a joke or read romantic poetry you’ve written while on your date.
- Have a movie night with your date, challenging each other to bring a flick within the allotted theme of the night – such as worst movie of all time or the best classic you’ve never heard of. You could even go so far as to make a cheap date weekend out of it and create your own personal Oscars screening or private themed film festival.
- Challenge each other to a contest. Anything works, and the sillier the better! Try sand castle building, hop scotch, name that tune, marbles, or kite flying.
- Raid the dollar store for poker game items you don’t already have. Use peanuts or some other inexpensive markers and let the games begin.
