Spending quality time together with another person doesn't need to cost that much, after all love doesn't cost anything. Sometimes the most fun you’ll ever experience costs little to nothing. If you’re low on money or just tired of the same kind of dates over and over again, then try these ideas for a fun inexpensive change of pace.
Participate in a local scavenger hunt or create one of your own.
This could make for a really fun and silly time! Just make up fun stuff as you go along, the funnier the better.
Check out Pinterest for lots of creative DIY craft ideas; make paintings and other stuff for your home.
Pick a trilogy or a series to watch and marathon it all weekend.
Get outside and get some sunshine and fresh air together. Being active together and/or exercising together can help both of you.
Pack a lunch for the two of you and be sure to bring some bread to feed the ducks if there’s a pond. Enjoy a nice day outside walking around the park and pick a spot to sit down and share lunch. You could even bring a game along to play after you've enjoyed the park.
Make DIY homeless care kits or volunteer with a local organization.
Sit at a coffee shop or at home together and take turns writing lines.
Be sure to include candles, massage oil, and essential oils. Feathers make for a great add-on to a massage; just rub them over your partner before, during, or after the massage.
Compile a list of funny YouTube videos to share together or take a look at some lists people have already put together online.
Invite her to share a blind date with you at a busy downtown coffee shop. Show up with a few, unwrapped rustic flowers behind your back.
Pack a picnic breakfast, dinner, or snack, and cuddle with your partner while watching the sunrise or sunset.
Take a free class, either locally or online, together. Learn something new together, maybe a new language, a new skill, cook something new together or read a book together.
Serve dinner on a picnic blanket laid out in the living room. Open a bottle of wine with some favorite finger foods. An indoor picnic can be even more fun and romantic than a traditional outdoor one. It’s quieter and no interruptions!
Check out a new ethnic cuisine — something neither of you have tried before. The element of adventure will add some excitement to your date, and, who knows, maybe the two of you will find a new favorite.
Stop at the toy store to pick up a few goodies. Try a Frisbee or kite for some outdoor fun.
