You’ve met this absolutely fantastic person that you are crazy about.  You want to ask them on a date.  The only problem is that money is tight.  You wonder two things:  What can you do that won’t send you to the poor house but that both you and your date will enjoy, and what will your date think about you if you plan something frugal to do? 

Unfortunately there are a lot of people whose idea of a fun and romantic date is to spend money, a lot of money.  Some women have the idea that if a man doesn’t spend a great deal of money on her on a date, that he isn’t good enough for her.  Leave those women in the dust!  They aren’t good enough for you!  A fun and romantic date is not about money at all, but about just being with the person you care about.

There are a number of things a couple can do together that costs nothing or very little.  Just some ideas that your special someone is sure to enjoy with you are:

Order pizza (or better yet, make your own), rent a movie, and just stay home.  Nothing speaks romance as much as two people snuggled on a sofa watching a movie and eating pizza together.  And if you are watching by chance a scary movie, so much the better for cuddle time.

Pack a picnic basket and a couple of fishing poles and head for the lake for a few hours.  Fishing is fun, as long as you don’t freak out at having to bait the line or taking the fish off.  For the ladies, if you are prone to freak out, you have this big strong manly man there to help with things. And how much more romantic can it be than for your date to save you from the fish on the line?

Something that any man is sure to enjoy is a slow massage.  A massage helps to relieve stress and tension and it feels good.  While he watches a movie, get the massage oil and give his shoulders and back a nice slow rub down.  Take your time and give him a lot of attention. He might just enjoy the massage so much that he forgets he’s watching a movie.  If he starts to fall asleep, you are doing a great job.

There are a number of other things a couple can do together to have a fun and romantic date on a budget. The main thing to remember is that the date is about the two of you, not about money.  The fact is that if a person is only interested in you for the money you can spend on them, they simply are not worth your time.  Anyone that truly cares for you is not interested in what you will spend on them now or in the future, they are only interested in being with you.
