Me and girlfriend understand with the current economic conditions that we can’t go out and splurge like we use too. Due to both of our work schedules we can only go out during the week and during the day. Weekends are not an option….Can anyone help with creative dating ideas that are affordable, fun and exciting. We are trying to limit our dates to $ 25.00 to $50.00.
It doesn’t matter how old you are – if there’s glow in the dark indoor mini putt anywhere in the area, GO FOR IT!! My boyfriend and I are both in our late 20’s, but we still can’t resist mini putt and arcade games. We usually don’t spend more than $30 on an outing like this. The playful factor helps us reconnect.
It’s fun, cute and romantic, ESPECIALLY if you aren’t great on ice!! Usually the rental of skates doesn’t cost too much either.
Avoid going out to eat if you can help it. Have little at-home picnics if you have to, eat on the floor in the living room. Turn out the lights and eat by candle light, even if it’s just sandwiches.
Instead of going out to a movie, rent one.
If the weather permits, take nice long walks.
When spring comes, things like bike rides, rollerblading, etc. are great. Same with walking nature trails.
Find out what time during the week there’s public skate at your local arenas. If you have skates, go skating
Board games! My boyfriend and I love Scrabble on a rainy day.
And of course, there’s nothing like retreating to the bedroom for the afternoon or the evening
cook each other dinner, rent movies, go to the park, to a museum.
sit somewhere and make fun of people. i like inventing peoples stories as they walk by. and its always fun to go up to them and ask them to see how accurate your story was.
try to learn how to play say.. guitar, together through online lessons or something..
play video games. . .
dunno what else.. whatever i do with my girl is usually fun.. these are the things we do when we’re out of cash..
go to places that dont cost to get in like a park or a beach and bring a picnic basket of food you picked out this whole thing would probably only cost about 25 dollars if you limit what you buy to eat
Museums, zoos, matinees, restaurant lunch specials, volunteer working together.
You can also usually sign up for online specials from local theaters, & events around town.
bowling
picnics at the park
play twister
make her a homemade dinner
watch a movie in 3D
rent an old school movie at blockbuster and make popcorn (the goonies, star wars)
dress up and go to a nice restaurant but just order dessert
Ice skating, volunteer work, site seeing, museums, happy hour, hope i helped!
Go to the movies cheaper during the day. Then get an ice cream for dessert.
You don’t have to go out. Make dinner at home and rent a movie.
Go to the park, some zoos are cheap, and rent a movie.
