So you’ve asked someone out and you don’t know where to take your date because you’re strapped for cash? Well, you don’t have to spend much to have a great time with your date. Many people think that going on a budget-friendly date counts as a dating mistake, but this is a misconception that you most certainly don’t have to believe. Below are some dating advice and options that can help you if you want to go on affordable but fun dates.
First, you have to do some research. It’s important that you know what kinds of things your date is interested in. This way, you can plan to go to some places or do activities that both of you will like. If your date is someone who loves art and history, then you might want to consider going to the museum. In case the two of you love the outdoors, then going on a hike or simply taking a walk together through a park may be the perfect date. Below are just some ideas for affordable dates.
Go on a picnic
Find a place that has a wonderful scenery. This spot can be near a large body of water, or you can just go to the park. As for the food you’ll bring, pack your picnic basket with the essentials – bread, some fresh fruit, and wine or soda (in case your date doesn’t drink). Bring water and chips too if you want.
Visit an art gallery
Most art galleries designate one day of the week in which the entrance fee is discounted or free. Take advantage of this and stroll through the halls with your date, discussing art and appreciating the paintings and artworks displayed.
Spend time stargazing
Many colleges and even some high schools have an observatory. If your date likes nature and appreciates looking at stars on a cloudless night, then going stargazing can be just the kind of romantic date your date would appreciate.
Go to the local community theater
Tickets to productions of local community theaters are often inexpensive. In case both of you happen to dislike the show, then at least you will have something to talk about afterward, and maybe even discuss what would make the show more interesting.
Stroll through a nature sanctuary
If you and your date are both nature lovers, then a date at a nature sanctuary can be one that will be memorable for both of you. You can even have a picnic there or just enjoy the scenery.
