Dates For Less
I often find that my boyfriend and I spend a lot of money on dates, especially when we’re in the city. Whether it’s things like a fancy dinner or going to any number of local amusement spots, I often find that I would prefer doing something simple that, at MOST, might involve paying only for gas. If you are of a like mind, here are some of the ways I have seen suggested that you and your significant other can spend time together whilst thinking less about the expense and more about simply enjoying each other’s company:
Go for a hike somewhere new- Find a trail you’ve never been on; travel along with it and see what wonders of nature you can find.
Go for a walk through the city- Simply wandering around the city’s streets and checking out places you have never explored before can bring some unique surprises.
Take a drive in the country and enjoy the beautiful back roads- like a hike, look for natural wonders; enjoy a view of the world that can’t be seen from the main road.
Cook dinner together- This labor of love can give you restaurant-quality dishes for a fraction of the price; you can also add your own unique flair.
Build a fort and watch movies- this one can also apply to playing video games together; simply build your fortress of solitude and engage in some healthy competition or teamwork.
Visit your local farmer’s market- Have a nice walk together, discover local producers, and get a week’s shopping done all at once!
Decorate your house- Whether you and your significant other live together, you can certainly help each other create a space unique to your own selves.
There are many more ideas to try; the possibilities are endless. All that matters is doing the things with the one you love.
