Cheap Date Ideas for Artists

• Attend your art school’s year-end show for a peek into the minds of up-and-coming artisans.
• Contact your local chamber of commerce for a walking tour map of your community, highlighting areas like the local museums or architectural highlights.
• Volunteer yourselves as models for a hairdressing school.
• Take in amateur night at the coffeehouse, bar or comedy club. You could also get up on stage yourself and belt out a tune, tell a joke or read romantic poetry you’ve written while on your cheap date.

Cheap Date Ideas for Family-Focused Folks

• Host a home-cooked meal for your entire family, lovingly prepared by you and your date.
• Challenge other family members to a game of backyard badminton, charades or another board or card game, pitting you and your date against other teams of two.
• Suggest a double cheap date with both sets of parents, so that everyone can get to know each other before the relationship gets serious.

Cheap Date Ideas for Home Bodies

• Pull out some bug spray and a cozy blanket and curl up together in your backyard or a local park for some stargazing.
• Have a movie night with your date, challenging each other to bring a flick within the allotted theme of the night – such as worst movie of all time or the best classic you’ve never heard of. You could even go so far as to make a cheap date weekend out of it and create your own personal Oscars screening or private themed film festival.
• Raid the dollar store for poker game items you don’t already have. Use peanuts or some other inexpensive markers and let the games begin.
• Play a couples game together (no sex please)
