Life with Lisa: Dating Ideas

Have a boyfriend (or girlfriend)? Been dating for a while? Not sure what to do on dates anymore? Well, no need to fear! I’ve set up a WHOLE list of different, and cheap date ideas!

1. Going to the Zoo.

Who doesn’t love animals?! There’s tons to talk about, you guys can walk around, hold hands, go to the petting zoo, and just have a good time together looking at all the different types of animals they have. You can go to a smaller zoo, so the entrance fee won’t be as much(:

2. Go to a Rec Center.

Rec centers have TONS of different activities to do! Instead of this date being a one time thing, you can come multiple times, each doing some new and different.

3. Mini Golf (Putt-Putt)

I love mini golfing, it’s so much fun! I’m not sure how much it costs, but the place Josh takes me to is around $12 for both of us. And as long as we don’t play the last hole (because the golf ball goes into the hole, and gets taken away!) we can go back to hole one, and play as much as we want!

4. Watch Movies, and Cuddle!

There’s nothing better than this! Together, make a list of movies you both want to see, than pick the top three or four, and make a movie night. Grab a blanket, popcorn, soda and enjoy the movie! This is a great way to spend the night together, and what’s better than cuddling?

5. Go to the Coffee Shop and then the Bookstore.

I don’t think this is for every guy though. Not all guys like coffee, nor reading, but if he does this is a great way to connect, and talk about books!

6. Buy two cheap $1 Kites.

Go to the dollar store (they have tons of cool stuff), buy a kite, go to a big empty field or a beach, and fly them together! This is a super cheap date, only $1 for each kite, and you get to spend the whole day together.

7. Cook Dinner Together.

Everyone should enjoy cooking! Or eating! So why not make something of your own together. It doesn’t have to be a three course meal, it could just be grilled cheese, sandwiches, or soup!

8. Play Video Games Together.

Again, I don’t think this is for all girls. Some girl do enjoy playing video games, just make sure it’s a game you both like, and can talk and communicate about.

9. Have a Picnic!

Awwwh, I love picnics! At a pretty beach, just you and him! I think this is the cutest thing a guy could do 🙂

10. Go on a Walk, Go to a Park!

If you’re tired of just sitting at home together, go out, get some fresh air. Hold hands and go for a walk, to a park. You can swing together, and go on the slides! And if it’s cold out, you can go back home, or stop somewhere to get some hot chocolate!

I hope this list helped you at least stir up some date ideas! Just remember, you don’t have to always spend a ton of money to have a good time. As long as you’re with that special someone, it shouldn’t matter what you’re doing, or how much it cost!
