Take for instance the following:   You certainly cannot buy moments like these pictured above. They were free, romantic and fun. One was a nice daytime educational date to the arch, which included a historical tour, and the other was a beautiful stress free, romantic date in the evening, that included a stroll along the riverfront. Walks in parks, on the riverfront, near historical places, and at city landmarks are all great places for cheap dates. You can walk, holding hands, and just talk. If you can get some ice cream or just a cold drink, do it and enjoy your time together. Stop and stand looking out over the horizon. And just generally enjoy each other's company.

We have not been on an official date in over 3 years. Hint Hint athomewithgodsgifts (15) 18 Feb 2007 01:29 PMIs wasnt necessarily cheap, but my husband and I alotted some money and got a season's subscription to a local professional community theatre's productions with another couple. Probably 5 plays, some musicals, some not,. The point was that it FORCED us to go out together, and it was fun! Maybe once we met the other couple for dinner before, sometimes we just had the coffee and dessert it intermission and sat and talked with our friends, and sometimes we would get an ice cream cone with them afterward. We didnt spend big bucks on food, in other words. THey have kids too! It made us go out and it was great. It didnt work this season, but we hope for next year. We also like library dates-this can accomodate the kids. The 11 year old finds and starts a new book or magazine, the 6 year old plays at the puzzle table and my hubby and I sit and read together. Not a big date, but it is a cheap night out. And look out when we go there without the kids!! We sometimes chat with each other!!! Keep those cheap date ideas coming!

It is important to keep the "fun" part or else you won't enjoy it enough to repeat it. There are dozens of ways to frugally have fun on a date, and your tickets to the community productions is a great idea!
