Cheap, and even FREE, dating ideas and locations!

In today’s economy, we are all pinching our pennies a little tighter than usual. However, we don’t want to let our date know that we are either in a financial bind or running low on funds. Finding places to take your date for free or cheap is a great way to save your wallet from more hurting, but will also guarantee a good time. There is a variety of dating ideas that you can use that will impress your date, and maybe even yourself as well.


Pack a lunch or picnic

Packing up a basket of sandwiches and heading down to a lake or pond is a great way to spend time with your date without breaking the bank. It creates a romantic ambiance that women will especially go crazy over. Picnics are more personal and private than just heading out to a restaurant and the effort you put into making the food and planning the location will definitely impress the date you bring.


Stay in and share a flick

Why not rent a movie and cool your date some dinner. Cooking for a man or a woman is a sure fire way to get your foot in the door. Even if you are just doing it to save cash, they will think it was simply to impress them. When selecting a movie, try to get a movie they want rather than one you would select just for yourself. Showing your date that you are focuses on their needs could lead to even more dates. If you are not much of a chef, ordering in is perfectly acceptable but doesn’t save you as much money.


Sporting for the active date

If you and your date are very active you may want to try hiking, walking, or even a mean game of Frisbee golf on your date. For people who enjoy being active this will really impress them and show that you also are into being active and staying in shape. Make sure that you and your date are on similar levels though; you wouldn’t want to plan a 8 mile hike for the occasional jogger. Start off with something small like a mile hike or good game in the park and then work yourselves up to something even more active.


Feed your soul and thirst for knowledge

Everyone is different; therefore you must plan your date around their interests. If you have a more intuitive, soulful person takes them to a local poetry or book reading in your area. You could even volunteer together at a homeless shelter or children’s orphanage.


You have so many options for taking your date out for a good time while saving money, as long as you look. The more time and effort you put into planning your date, the more impressed he or she will be. If they ask why you took them there, never say it was because of financial constraints. Instead, insist you thought that they would truly enjoy it.
