Ideas for Inexpensive Dates

Are fancy restaurants and dressing up one of the first things that come to mind when you think about dating? If so, think again!. All it takes is a little bit of creativity to come up with some simple, yet fun, ideas for the perfect date night. Here are a few to get you started!

The best way to choose an inexpensive date is to talk to your date and work out what they enjoy doing the most. If you are online dating you may be able to work this out just by looking at your date's profile. By asking what their hobbies and interests are, you can begin to build a list of fun cheap activities that you think the two of you will enjoy doing together. Try to work out what kind of personality they are - a lot of people prefer staying in for the night, while others want to get out and have a fun night on the town.

1) Stay at Home and Watch a Film - One of the most simple date nights is a timeless classic- pick out a movie together and stay in for a cozy night of snuggling on the sofa. If you don't want to leave it at just a movie, you might want to consider getting out the cookbook and whipping up a quick meal for the two of you. A romantic dinner at home before the movie would be a wonderful surprise. If you are not talented in the kitchen remember that there is always the option of ordering takeaway Chinese or pizza.

2) Take a Stroll or a Drive and Have a Romantic Picnic - If the weather is nice and you both want to get some fresh air, a picnic is a great way to spend time with each other and get to know each other better. As well as having a great day out, you can save money by making your own food at home. Try choosing the place that neither of you have been before so it adds an element of surprise. Just remember to fill up on gas before you head out! If your date is up for it, you may want to suggest taking a hike while you're out.

Pay a visit to your nearest Wildlife Sanctuary or Zoo - If your date likes animals, the zoo can be a fun way to get out of the house and see all kinds of interesting wildlife. Remember to bring some sunscreen and lots of water for this idea. Most zoos are relatively inexpensive to get into- it's the concessions stands and gift shops that cost the most!

Hopefully this will give you a few ideas for inexpensive dates. Just remember that you don't have to spend a lot of money to have fun! All it takes is a little bit of creativity and planning.
