When you are trying to save money by eating at home and limiting your visits to bars and clubs, going out on a dates might seem counterproductive. What you need to remember is that not all settings where you can spend time with your date need to focus around expensive entertainment and services. Below are a few examples that we thought could help: Go outdoors - Having a mutual experience is a great way to bond. Look for a nice hike or bike ride or just go out and take a stroll in the park. Outdoor settings can be perfect for spending a relaxed time together and really getting to know each other better. Pack a Picnic - Wining and dining doesn't have to break the banknot if you pack a picnic lunch. You can find plenty of wonderful wines for well under $10. Add a few sandwiches, cheese, fruit, cookies (and don't forget the blanket!), and you've got an impressive spread. Movies? Get them on DVD - Going out to the movie theater can be nice but it's also expensive. Instead, do some research on what your partner has recently enjoyed and what new release movies they might be in to. Then, go out and rent a DVD! You can create a very similar movie watching experience in your home that you would have at the theater, and in a minimal cost. Walk on the beach - Going out to the beach is an excellent way to enjoy time together without having to spend any substantial amount. Leave in the afternoon and make sure to stick around till the evening. The views and the air are purifying and relaxing. Add Some Culture - If you're both into the arts or are trying to be, you may want to check out an art gallery within your area. Or, find out about local arts and crafts shows or outdoor community concerts. You might have to pay a nominal fee or it could even be free and certainly fun. You don't have to worry about money when you're dating. The main idea is to find nice activities that you can do together so that you can get to know one another. Good luck!
