Dating, as much as you can, is important for a relationship. It is quality time with that person doing something fun or enjoyable together. My parents went on dates a lot when I was growing up and I think it’s one of the reasons they are still married more than 30 years later.
Here are some inexpensive date ideas I want to share. I tried to include different date ideas for all types of couples. Hopefully, you will find an idea or two for an inexpensive date in the future.
1. Movie night at home
Rent a movie or watch one you have already. Make some popcorn and cuddle up together and watch a movie or two.
2. Have a Netflix night at home
Same as movie night except you binge watch some Netflix together. We have this kind of date a lot. Snuggle up on the couch or in bed and watch something you both enjoy.
3. Pick up ingredients for a favorite meal from the grocery store and come home and make dinner together.
4. Work on a project together
Maybe something needs to be painted or put together. Spend time doing it together and make it fun, then grab something to eat.
5. Try lunch dates versus dinner dates for a lower price
6. Go to the movies
It can be expensive but if you are able to go to a matinee, that saves a lot of money. We go to matinees a lot and then usually share a drink. Going in the day versus the night can cut the price in half.
7. If you go out to eat, try to choose a cafe or something that is less expensive than a fancy restaurant.
8. Go on a walk or a hike together
if that is the type of thing you both enjoy. Find somewhere pretty to walk around and do it together.
9. Check your city for local concerts or events that may be inexpensive

This one my husband would love for us to do. Play a Wii, X-box or a PlayStation game.

It won’t be free since gas is still rather expensive but sometimes it’s nice to go on a drive. My husband and I always have nice talks on a car ride.

Take a bath together if you have a large enough tub, give each other back massages with oil or lotion. Very romantic and relaxing date.
