Finding dates to impress your crush or show your significant other you care can be hard when balancing your budget with your creativity. The good news is most girls are easy to please, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be able to think of some good date ideas.
In the end, as long as you're spending time together outside of your dorm room you can't go wrong, but if you're struggling to come up with ideas here are 22 to help you out.
1. Go to a new dining hall
Make the trek across campus to try something new!
2. Walk around the town square or downtown area
Maybe stop in some stores, people watch or get some ice cream while you do it.
3. Go to a basketball game together
A classic, really.
4. Or any sporting event really
Especially if certain sporting events are free to students!
5. Study at the lib together
Order a pizza to the library and support each other's futures!
6. Or Starbucks
Another standard study spot, but let's be real the coffee is expensive and not necessarily good.
7. Order delivery from a favorite restaurant
Mr. Delivery, Joy Run, the establishment itself... the possibilities are endless.
8. Go thrifting in the town
No purchases required.
9. Visit the humane society or pet store to play with the puppies
This date could last all day...
10. Go on a picnic if it's warm enough
May sound cheesy but it's sure to put a smile on your faces!
11. Or go sledding and build a snowman together.
Throw in some hot chocolate after and you're all set!
12. Hike
Its free, it's healthy, and its something to do together alone or in a group.
13. Take a day trip to the closest city
Most schools have cheap/free shuttle services to allow you to have a night out on the town.
14. Play board game/card games
Perfect for a rainy day, or when it gets below freezing outside!
15. Play video games that you both will enjoy
This more than likely does not include Fortnite, Super Smash Bros, or whatever trend comes next.
16. Walk around Target together
Yes, going to Target together counts as a date.
17. Listen to music while driving around town
(if you have access to a car)
18. Partake in your school's traditions
(i.e. running through a fountain together or finishing a school challenge)
19. Tailgate together or crash a house party
An adventure for sure.
21. Go to a musical, play, or show that your school is putting on
Sometimes they can be free to students, or a cheap option for a different date idea.
22. Find a food truck
'Nuff said!
