Date Night On A Budget

2. Take a community education class together.

There are tons of cheap or free classes to take at your local community college or community center, with a range of commitments. You can learn how to paint, or take a weekend class on gardening. Or maybe you’ve always been curious about beekeeping, or the secrets of Oriental foil art. Everything from interior design to fly fishing is within the realm of possibilities, and how much fun would it be to learn something new and/or obscure with your loved one?

3. Go to the animal shelter and play with the dogs that need extra love.

… Because who doesn’t love playing with fuzzy animals?

(And if your date doesn’t like fluffy wuffy puppies, you may need to rethink the direction of your relationship, am I right?) Who knows! You may just come home with a new family member!
