Jennifer Nickert asked:
Dating doesn’t have to cost a lot or cost anything. A date is just creating an opportunity to spend time with someone and get to know them. The next time you want to meet someone, but it’s not in the budget to do dinner and a movie try one of these dating ideas.
Museum or Art Gallery
A good date idea is a local Museum. Many often have free days. You can go to your big city museum webpage and check on that or find local city museums that you would never think to try. Be creative!
A great date idea is an Art Opening. I have been to some wonderful art exhibits. The best part is most offer wine or drinks and appetizers! You can snack, walk around, see some beautiful art or have something to make fun of later. Some openings even have live music. It can be an amazing date night for free.
You can find an event like this by searching your local paper, free papers at restaurants are great, Google galleries and libraries in your area and call and ask, check CraigsList.org in their events section and ask friends!
Enjoy the Park
A good date idea could be meeting at the park. You could enjoy a breeze on a bench and spend some time together. Don’t forget to hit the swings.
A great date idea is to play some tennis or basketball. I realize not everyone is athletic, but even if you are terrible at it this could be fun. Just let go and laugh at yourself. If your partner knows more than you, let them teach you. You don’t even have to play full blown basketball you can play the shooting game Horse or Pig. That’s a game where one person stands still and shoots the ball, if they make it you have to try to shoot the ball from the same spot. If you miss you get a letter of the word HORSE or the word PIG (You pick a word depending on if you want a short game or longer one, choose PIG for the short game). It’s like a live action game of hangman.
Go for a Walk
A good date idea is a walk. Meet at a local park, a great walking path or even one of your neighborhoods. It’s great exercise and gives you lots of time to just talk with no pressure. If it doesn’t go well at least you stretched your legs. You could even meet at an animal shelter and walk one of the dogs. Just call the shelter and ask if they allow that.
A great date idea is to go GeoCashing. GeoCashing is like high tech hide and seek using a gos to discover hidden boxes that are hidden along trails, in parks, in the woods, all over really. It gives you a goal, a destination and some fun. Try this site for locations to get you started… http://www.geocaching.com.
Watch a Movie
A good date idea has always been to watch a movie. You can pick a movie you haven’t seen yet, but I actually like to pick favorites that we both have seen a million times. I do the classics because then we don’t miss parts and get lost when we end up talking or kissing through some of it. You can even do a theme movie. If it’s a Christmas Story, then get out the little Christmas tree and grab those Santa hats for you both. Just get creative.
A great date idea is an outdoor movie. Grab or borrow a friend’s portable DVD player or your laptop, get a blanket and find a spot in the yard or park and snuggle up. You can star gaze, get some fresh air and make it a date to remember.
Go For a Swim or Sledding
A good date idea is going for a swim or going sledding. Depending on the season both can be a lot of fun. For Swimming, find a friends pool or a great little beach to swim around, splash and dunk each other. For sledding ask any kid where the local hills are, bundle up and go have fun.
A great date idea. Find a quiet spot to take your date for swimming and go skinny dipping! Be brave.
Hit the Mall
A good date idea for a cool date would be to go to the mall. Sit on a bench, window shop, people watch and grab some free samples. You can see what their tastes are in clothing and jewelry. Get gift ideas if the relationship grows.
A great date idea for a free date would be to play text tag. We used to do this with pagers and voice mail when I was young. You find a spot in the mall and text them a hint to where you are. If you are sitting at the donut shop, text something like, “Your first hint is that Homer Simpson would love this place.” If they don’t find you with that hint your next clue could be, “Stereotypically police officers spend a lot of time here.”
There are many free things to do on a date, just let your imagination run wild. Think of the things you liked to do as a kid, we never had money as kids. Just find something you are comfortable with, make your date comfortable and turn on the charm! More Free Dating Tips and Ideas

Tim Lee asked:
You don’t really have to spend so much to enjoy a fun and memorable night with your date. Remember that the purpose of a date is for you and the other person to get to know each other more deeply and find out if a more stable relationship is in the works for the two of you.
You don’t have to go all out to impress the person you’re with. Sure, a fancy dinner might awe her for a minute or two, but without a personality, you might as well say goodbye to a second attempt.
There are many ways to enjoy an evening date. Before anything, settle on an activity that is amenable to both of you. Don’t go walking barefoot by the shore if she’s not into getting her feet dirty and does not really enjoy the beach. Don’t opt for a fancy dinner if she’s more comfortable with casual environments, like a local ice cream shop or a Mexican deli.
Compromise at the onset so that things run smoothly during the entire duration of the date and you won’t have to worry about what she does and doesn’t like along the way.
But, if your date likes surprises, then you can let your creativity rise in full force. Below are some fun tips to ensuring an interesting date night.
1) Go to a carnival
Going to a carnival or fair is the perfect date for those who love to love life. There’s plenty to see and do to keep the conversation flowing. And with the flurry of colorful lights all around, you are sure to never get bored.
2) Disco fever
Scan local listing for the nearest rollerskating alley or 70s night club and treat your date to a night of reminiscing and dancing. You might even want to dress according to the theme of the night to keep things interesting. Don’t forget to take pictures so you’ll have something to laugh over and share stories about after.
3) Belt out some tunes
One of the most fun night date ideas is going to the Karaoke bar. You and your date might want to get up on stage and prove to the world than you can, ahem, sing, or you can just enjoy the night and watch people fumble over the lyrics and bastardize melodies. Singing love songs on the first date is a no-no, though. It’s too cheesy and could scream ‘desperate’.
4) Roadtrip
Get in the car and just drive. You don’t have to have a specific location. You can even circle all the town’s streets if you want to. A car date gives you an opportunity to talk to your date longer, without having to worry about whether she likes where you took her or is picky about ambience. If you get hungry, go to a drive-through.
5) Reverse the Dinner-Movie Routine
Go to the movie first before you head for dinner. This way, you have more time to talk to your date and get to know her. You’ll definitely have a better topic to break the ice because you can instantly jump into a discussion about the film without those awkward ‘hi’, ‘hello’ pauses.
Finally, after all has been said and done, take the dating experience for what it really is — dating. You don’t need to exert too much effort to please the other person, otherwise you’ll be misperceived as pushing too hard. Calm your nerves. Dating should be fun!

Denise Brienne asked:
As a single mother, you have a lot on your plate and a great deal to worry about. Getting out for an evening among adults – or even going out on a bona fide date! – might be the last thing on your mind. If you do think about going out, you might begin to wonder how you can afford a pretty new dress for the special evening, or if you could possibly afford to go Dutch. When the budget is tight, you are the first thing that falls to the wayside.
Don’t let your finances keep you from going out once in a while. There are a few simple ways to keep the costs to a minimum and enjoy time out with a special someone. You don’t have to break the budget to make it happen!
Consider a “wandering” date. Take a walk through the park, visit the beach for a relaxing afternoon, or make a date to hike through the woods. Make your date a deal: You will pack the lunches if he will drive you both to the destination. For the price of gas and a few lunch meat sandwiches, you have a date with a special man and the bonus of getting closer to nature.
Check out your newspaper for events happening in your area. Readings at your local bookstore are always a popular date – you and your date can discuss what you heard over a cup of coffee later. Free concerts are often given by artists hoping to promote their new albums, and you might even be able to find a free community movie night. Pop the popcorn at home to save even more money.
Go to yard sales together. Doesn’t sound like much fun? Wait until you try it! Unusual items or things that remind you of your childhood will spark lively conversation. You will meet new people, spend unique time together and get to know each other in a way that might not have been possible on a “traditional” kind of date.
Try out a wine-tasting. Venture to a winery and take the free tour. Learn all about how wine is made, then retreat to the tasting room to sample the wares. It’s a great conversation starter, and you learn something new. Pack a picnic lunch and spring for a bottle of inexpensive wine before you leave the winery, and you have bona fide date!
Volunteer together. Do you both love animals? Visit your local animal shelter and love on the furry souls there. Do you both enjoy helping those less fortunate? Volunteer a lunchtime date at a soup kitchen. Join up with others who are volunteering for special days at domestic abuse shelters or the Red Cross. Not only will you have a great date to talk about later, you will feel good about helping others at the same time.
Dating on a budget might actually be more fun than dating when money is no object. The point is getting to know the person you are spending time with – and any of these dates can help you do just that!
