Being in a relationship means spending time together with the person you love. Staying up and chatting all night is always fun, of course. Yet, sometimes, you both want to go out and do something together. Many activities like the movies and dinner cost an absurd amount of money. So here are ten date ideas that will not break the bank.
1. Star Gazing: You can either drive or walk out to a park to do this. You can also find lookout points around your area to park at. Pack some drinks and some snacks. In order to know about what you are looking at you can print out a map or download an app on your phone. You can turn on the location setting and actually see the stars around you. It is very fun and romantic, as well as informative about the stars.
2. Art Walk: Some towns have specific art walk events you can attend. If your town does not have an event, just create your own. Go around to art shops and look at and discuss art. You do not need a guide to tell you what you are looking at. Plus the shop owner maybe the actual artists. They usually do not mind answering questions about their art. Walking through town and discussing art is a beautiful way to spend the evening. You both may even try coming up with stories behind the art. This can give you some wild perspectives about the art and each other.
3. Picnic: A picnic is always a super romantic way to spend the day. Though probably more so in the summer time rather than winter. You can take whatever kind of food you are feeling. You can make something homemade or pick up dollar menu food. You get to eat lunch or dinner in a beautiful place. It is a simplistic yet charming way to spend an evening.
4. Nature Walks: Nature walks are a great way to really get involved in your surrounding. You can create a little scavenger hunt for local plants and animals. This can be a competition or a team effort. Plus nature walking does not have to be done somewhere exotic. It can be around your neighborhood for instance. You might also find things you had not noticed before which make the area special.
5. Switching Off: Both of you probably possess some different interests. Try for a date both of you getting involved in the same activity. Perhaps a video game or yoga night. This allows both of you to experience your loved one doing something they love. Plus they can teach you about this topic and converse about it. The next date switch off and do the other person’s activity. This might help you see new aspects to each other.
6. Poems and Pictures: So this one can get a little interesting. For this, you could put on some music. Then, the person can either draw a picture or write a poem about their feelings for you. This allows you to see a different side of your partner if they do not write or draw. Plus, it is then specifically about you. It gives you some wonder and fascination in order to also carry on a conversation. This could help develop the relationship because you both are in a position to communicate your feelings.
7. Indoor Rock Climbing: Many gyms exists that already have a rock climbing wall. So go for it! This is another activity that you can have some friendly competition going on. Yet it is something where both of you are active and it is very fun. You can help each other along the way also. Plus if anything happens you will be in a safe place where professionals can help.
8. Roller Blade: This you can do at a skating rink or around your neighborhood. Roller blading is not extremely popular anymore. Therefore, neither of you might have done it. Skating around gives you something to experiment with. Plus, once you get the hang of it, you can race.
9. Volunteering: Both of you can sign up to volunteer at a local event. This gives you something good to work on together. Also it can give you some awesome memories to share. You can see how your partner acts in that kind of community environment. You never know what you can learn together until you try something new.
10. Do a Duet: Try out some at home karaoke! You do not have to be a professional singer in order to give it a try. You can sing a duet together and laugh about your oh so perfect high notes. This is also something that many people do. So your partner maybe comfortable with it. Karaoke is offered at restaurants all around as well if you two are feeling confident.
