How To Have A Fun, Day-Long Date Without Breaking The Bank

Written by Kinley on November 8, 2010 · Leave a Comment

These days, dating isn’t as inexpensive as it used to be. In fact, a typical dinner and movie date can cost as much as $100, by the time you consider the cost of dinner itself (usually around $50 or so), plus at least $20 to see the movie, and don’t forget popcorn and pop, which will probably cost another $20. And, many other activities have jumped in price too, making them way to expensive for dating. So, how can a couple enjoy a fun date without having to take out a bank loan?

There are plenty of options available to create the ideal date, and they don’t have to cost a lot of money. In fact, you can plan a full, day-long date that will cost less than dinner and a movie, which in total, only lasts three to four hours. Here are some fun, inexpensive activities you can do with a date, and be able to enjoy each other’s company for an entire day.

The Night Before Your Date

Prepare a fun lunch that you and your date can enjoy on a picnic. Make tasty sandwiches (remember not to use mayonnaise, unless you are bringing a cooler), lemonade, desserts, and all kinds of other delicious treats that the two of you can eat just about anywhere. Don’t forget to pack a few extra snacks for energy throughout the day. Pack a basket with your food and everything else you think you will need for a nice picnic.

Morning

You can begin your date with a delicious breakfast at a local diner, and we don’t mean a fast food joint. There are plenty of great mom and pop establishments that offer full breakfasts for under $10, and that is for the two of you. Once you have gotten breakfast out of the way, it’s time to start having some fun!

If you have planned your all-day date for a Saturday, then you will be able to find plenty of fun things to do. Check out your newspaper for flea markets, garage sales and other community events that cost nothing to attend. You may even find some really great deals on fun and unusual items. See if there are any concerts or plays at local parks, or take in a fun workshop with activities you both enjoy.

Afternoon

Take a drive in the country, and find a nice place to go for a leisurely walk through the woods, or along a sandy beach. You can spend hours just enjoying nature, and each other, and it doesn’t cost a thing. After your walk, you will probably be hungry, and this would be a great time to enjoy that delicious picnic lunch you packed the night before. A late lunch can also serve as dinner, and will allow you more time for fun evening activities.

Evening

After a fun day of shopping, eating, hiking, and more, you will probably be ready to start winding down. Rent a favorite classic movie, and snuggle up together on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn. After the movie, you can move on to other things. What a terrific way to end a fun, day-long date.

Fun Date Ideas For The Beach

Written by Kinley on November 5, 2010 · 2 Comments

Other than that, there is just plain old running into the ocean and playing. Make a giant sandcastle together but you have to be extremely creative, make some strict rules to go by.

Bury your date then turn them into a sphinx. Make sure you have your camera handy. If you really use your imagination, you can do more than make a sphinx; just go with whatever comes to your mind at the time.

A really fun beach activity is wind surfing. Most beaches have this available and what a rush that is. Your date will love it.

Collect seashells then when you get home see who can make the most creative design with your shells and hot glue. The most creative wins, the loser has to buy ice cream sundaes.

A lot of beaches have summer concerts. Check this out because this is so much fun. You take your beach chairs and enjoy the music sitting by the ocean.

Take long walks from pier to pier getting a little souvenir at each one whether it be a sea shell, piece of seaweed, or you buy something at the gift shop, or best yet, a photo taken by someone else of the two of you.

The beach has so much to offer, you really don’t need to have a lot of help for fun date ideas there. You seem to make your own fun.

The beach has to be one of the most romantic and fun places to spend together with your date. There seems to be unlimited resources available and most of them are so simple.

The best way to spend a fun date at the beach is just to sit there by the water and watch the waves. Listening to the surf, talking, enjoying each other’s company.

Fun Date Ideas with Sporting Events

Written by Kinley on October 24, 2010 · 2 Comments

Everyone has a great time at any sporting event! Whether it is to a high priced basketball game to a high school football game.

These are always fun date ideas but they don’t all need to be attending a sporting event. Why not create your some fun date ideas by creating your own sporting events.

Another great fun date idea is to get another couple to join you and fill some balloons with water and play water balloon volleyball. Each couple has a towel to catch and toss the water balloons. The couple that ends up the soaking wet are the winners.

Offer to play golf if your date will teach you how to play. Then go for ice cream sundaes or milkshakes afterwards.

Go to a large sporting goods store and test out the equipment, one sport at a time. Have fun until they kick you out. You can throw a baseball while you date has the catcher’s mitt ready to catch your throws.

Dribble a basketball and see who can do it the longest. Go to the golfing isle and practice hitting the straightest putts. Then when your are done with that, go workout lifting the dumbbells…be a spotter for each other…for those 20 lb weights, don’t want anyone to get hurt. Ok, so you are there to have fun, go with it.

And here is our final fun date tip of the day. Find a place, such a large sporting goods store that has a rock-climbing wall. Take your date and start climbing. This is something that is fun and your date will remember as well.
