Romantic Date Ideas That Don’t Burn A Hole in Your Pocket
As truly independent girls, we love the feeling of
being able to pay for our share of the date. But what happens when it’s
month-end and savings are at a low? Not to worry, for we have got you covered.
Even if you are super broke, here are some great ideas to be out and about with
your dream man, and not end up making a dent in your savings for the same.
Explore
a bookstore: If both you and your guy are
booklovers; it does not get any better than this. You can spend the afternoon
browsing through the shelves, in each other’s company and in the quaint company
of books. You can bond over a novel you both have read and even recommend each
other some titles. Many bookstores even have coffee shops inside, which will
take the cosiness to another level.
Cook
dinner at home: If your date is truly special, we
suggest you head straight to the grocery store and pick up the supplies for a
fabulous dinner, because nothing says romantic like a home-cooked meal. This is
truly a special effort to make for someone, and costs far lesser than a meal in
a restaurant.
Go
geocaching: Want to see how well you function
as a team? We suggest you go Geocaching. This is a real-life treasure hunt
using GPS to navigate around a town or city and find hidden containers (aka,
“caches”) located at specific geographic coordinates. Apart from building team
spirit, the fun and the adrenaline rush will surely bring you together even
without the fancy dates. All you need is your phone and a data connection to
download the necessary apps and get started.
Catch
a live performance: If
both of you are music nerds, you could hit up a concert of some up-and-coming
band. These won’t cost as much as tickets to an A list celebrity’s concert, but
the energy and the vibe is something you will definitely love to share with
your special person.
Watch
a movie at a drive-in: This
is one of the classic cheap-date ideas you can never go wrong with. All you
need to do is find a drive-in that’s screening a common favourite, or any good
movie. Old classics are always a safe option. You can bring your own popcorn
and cosy up, and we guarantee the intimacy will be no less even without the
expensive multiplex tickets.
Someone truly said, the best things in life come for
free. So should your special time with your special someone. These are our
favourite date ideas that turn out a hit even without being super fancy. Take
your pick from the list and enjoy your day with your special someone!
