Free Date Ideas – How to Date When You Have No Money
Everyone is in need of some FREE date ideas! You don’t need to spend money on a date to have a fantastic time that will be remembered forever!
Matter of fact, it is usually the dates that don’t cost a penny, but involves some creativity and your time. There are so many great free date ideas. We will list a few of them here for you to try on your next date.
Go to the library and head to the children’s section. Sit down at the little table and chairs and take turns reading your favorite childhood stories to each other.
Here is a free date idea! Find some mud, wear some old clothes and have a mud fight or make mud pies or whatever. Just have fun being a kid again and playing in the mud.
Remember how much fun this was when you were young? Well, see if you can bring some of that fun back again.
How about putting a puzzle together? That can be so much fun and really give you time to talk and get to know each other. Also see how patient your date can be when you hide the piece she is looking for.
Ok…how about going downtown and window shop. Pretend that you each have tons of money and talk buy things for each other and talk about why you would buy that. See what your dates tastes and interests are and see how much he or she knows about you.
There many more ideas. Check out our site and see what else you can learn about fun date ideas.
these are the gayest ideas i think ive ever heard?
haha. I don’t know, the mud thing sounded kind of fun.
I cant believe I just wasted my time reading that!
WTF – Did I really waste 3 minutes of my life, that I will never get back to read about having Mud Fights or going to the freaking library?
Actually going to the library is a great idea you get to be quiet and cute all at the same time usually a big library is the best you can walk down the aisles and point to words or titles that will make the other laugh or smile…Then when you want to get intimate i know there are plenty of quiet corners where noone else will see kissing
Also if you read at a table you can always write each other love notes and pass them back and forth 
The library idea isn’t bad, but it’s not amazing.
Are you serious? I don’t think anyone wants to see us 40 and 50 somethings rolling around in mud or making out in a library.
I don’t really think it was intended for 40 and 50 somethings! I think it was intended for poor college kids- not poor middle aged adults!
ya! You dunce cap!
Or you can just get a job and stop being lazy asses!
Good point Amanda
Or maybe we do have jobs and have to pay for housing, tuition fees, food etc? I agree with it being for college kids. Not my kind of thing though. Personally a nature walk or just going to see the sights would be better.
Hahaha it makes me laugh that “Fred” took 3 whole minutes to read this teeny snippet!
What in the world? Who ever made these up must be single, because if I took my husband to the childrens books at the library we would FREAK out and think I was pregnant. And for people who are not married the guy would be thinking “Whoa she want’s kids right away” And the girl would be thinking “What kind of a creep would take me to the childrens section of the library?”
I love the library idea. the mud idea I did w. my boyfriend last summer! it was really fun. btw he was 20 and I was 17.. so it is possilbe to be a younger adult and still do it!
Ok, well, my boyfriend and I have actually hung out in the university library a couple of times, at the campus bookstore, and at Barnes and Nobles once. But NOT in the children’s section!! And I have 2 little kids.
Seriously, come on.. the first three ideas all imply being kinda poor means reenacting childhood on dates??
These are the worst ideas I have ever heard. Children’s section at the library? Reading childhood books to each other? Really?!? How about I just kick her down a flight of stairs and then fart in her general direction. At least that way I will have a funny story to tell my friends when they ask why she never called back.
My fiance is reading one of his favorite childhood stories to me and I think it is really sweet. I am enjoying just sitting and listening to his voice and watching his expressions as he reads.
okay, that was totally pointless. none of those were good ideas. i mean, if i were a 20-something year old guy, i would DEFINITELY look at that girl like she was insane if she took me to the kid section at the library and started making out with me. Total waste of time.
Hey, at least someone is coming up with ideas. Don’t hate if you can’t even think of any because obviously you’re on this website for a reason.
All those things can be cute. Not for a first date, but for a couple that’s in a serious relationship and just want to spend time together it sounds like fun to me! =)
Some other free date ideas:
Going to visit random stores.
Playing music together.
A walk in the park.
Hiking and a homemade lunch.
Going for a drive.
Visiting a random town on the map you’ve never been to or heard of.
Window Shop.
Lay under the night sky and look at the stars.
Cooking together.
Volunteering at an animal shelter or soup kitchen.
Paint/Draw/Sculpt…have a paint fight!
Kiss in the rain. (REALLY fun! Saying that from experience.)
Trying on funny clothes in a random store.
Catching fireflies on a warm summer evening…
The possibilities are endless when you love someone.
it took u thre minutes to read that. seriously
Are you guys really serious? have none of you ever been on dates? Nobody does any of this CRAP. Who the hell catches fireflies on a warm summer evening? That’s the gayest! Sounds like you have been reading too many romance novels with Fabio on the cover. This isn’t a Mandy Moore movie, get real. take your girl out on the town for drinks and a dance or a play or a concert and then DO IT TO HER! that’s a real date. Thats what she wants. Trust me.
Unfortunately for “some jerk” any girl worth being with does not want to “do it” all the time. But most people are too impatient to realize this and take it out on their girlfriends. I thought these ideas were cute. Except the mud fight,that’s just weird. And for the record I’ve been catching fireflies for years AND I’m now happily married to the guy who caught them with me. Sex boy up there probably doesn’t even have a steady girlfriend. A real date is one where you have fun and don’t get screwed.
hahhahahahhaha who whod actaully do this?
You know, the ideas are not that bad at all, better then watching a stupid movie that’s for sure!
I like the mud thing, just means we can help eachother get clean afterwards
potato..
I think the ideas are good. For sure. Reading childrens books to a girl, make facial expressions and stuff next thing you know she is laughing at you, what girl doesnt like to laugh, and what guy doesnt like to make the girl laugh a bunch and smile.
great ideas.
wow..Okay well some of these are cute, and no..girls don’t just want to “Do it”. When my boyfriend does things that are creative like those ideas it seems like he really cares. These ideas are for couples who have been together for a long time and are just looking for fun dates!
what sort of ideas are you looking for??
i think they’re sweet, you just need to know someone well enough that they dont think you’re n]nuts when you take them into a library or dive into a pit of mud (which im sure most guys would LOVE…)
lol at anoyone who took three minutes to read this
i think if you’re just looking for some fun to release from the mundane boring stuff people normally do.
washing up and cleaning is wuite fun to do together, put some music on LOUDLY, then clean in your underwear.
plus, whats better than getting your man to clean. its ace
LOL did the person before me really say clean underwear together on a date!? I don’t think they were talking about ‘that kind’ of mud hahhahahahahaa
I actually think that (depending on the girl) a lot of girls really do dig the outside-the-box type of dates. Dinner and a movie is played out and chances are, the girl you’re taking out has been out to a hundred dinner-and-movie dates before. It’s convenient, but not the best date idea ever.
These ideas are good, but the mud-fight and library things would be much more memorable if you stumbled into it rather than planned it.
i reckon cleaning the house or dishes or whatever in your under wear is a friking awesome idea..i was trying to imagine me and my boyfriend doing that haha. and not all girls want to ‘do it’…thats not the way your going to get a decent girl if you think like that. mud fights would be pretty funny. you can turn the most boring things into something fun and easy to do. me and my boyfriend usually just watch movies at his house…and he never picks what to do…im always the one that decides what we do. so lately i have no idea what to do. anyone wanna help me out here hahaha
I agree… potato…
haha i love that the first comment is exactly what i was thinking…so gay!!! hahaha!!!
I third the potato…
I eated the potato.
