Top 10 Dates | On A Budget

In the spirit of summer fun, we’ve compiled a list of 10 fun and cheap dates ideas. Most should be under $20 so no excuses - go out with your crush and have some fun!

#1 Coffee. A coffee date is a comfort date at its best. It’s easy and can help your date judge you for who you are without being overpowered by the surrounding.

#2 Park. Have a picnic at a park, especially if it’s a pleasant sunny day. There’s something about staring at nature’s beauty that makes us all feel wonderful inside.

#3 Boat ride. Pick what you intend to do, a romantic paddle boat or a kayak to make the date a little more exciting.

#4 Bowling. Bowling can be a lot of fun, even though it sounds like a total cliché. A bit of rivalry on a romantic date always spices things up.

#5 Karaoke. Do you think you’re the best bathroom singer, or are you trying to impress your date with your showmanship? Nothing beats a karaoke bar.

#6 Frozen Yogurt or Ice Cream Parlor. Take your date back to their childhood by ordering a humongous portion of iced treat with all the works for them. Just looking at it will brighten your date’s smile.

#7 Gallery. If your date has an artist’s streak in them, make sure you take them to an art exhibition or a gallery. For someone who appreciates art, it’s always a beautiful experience.

#8 Watch a movie at home. Cozying up under a blanket with a special someone can be romantic, as long as you pick the right movie. But be sure to invite a date home only if you know them well already.

#9 Game of pool. A game of snooker or pool can be a good casual date, especially if both of you have some time to kill before heading somewhere else. It’s a lot more fun if you’re helping your date learn the game or if they’re playing for the first time.

#10 Old fashioned pub. Old Irish pubs or any quaint pubs that your date hasn’t been to would be a nice way to spend a while getting to know each other better. And if there’s a happy live band with a fiddle, well, you’re going to have a happy time for sure!
