9 Perfect Low-Cost Date ideas

In This Article:

Movies and television shows have convinced us that the perfect date needs to cost a fortune. It needs to include a fancy dinner, maybe a movie, and other things that will end up costing a fortune. To have the perfect date, you do not need to spend a fortune. Here are 9 low-cost date ideas.

1. Driving around.

It does not cost a lot to just get in your car and take a drive and see where you end up. There are no fees involved and it is a fun adventure. An idea with this is to take a coin and heads is a right turn and tails is a left turn and you flip it a bunch of times until you eventually end up somewhere.

2. Watching TV on the couch.

There is no cost at all to curling up on the couch in your favorite sweats and watching television all night. And hey, you don't even have to dress up.

3. Walking through a bookstore.

This is so hard for me to do without buying the whole store but there is no risk in going to a bookstore and just walking around.

4. Walking through a mall.

Again, you don't have to buy anything but sometimes it is fun just to walk around a mall and see what is there. Check out a store you've never been in or try to make it a game but trying to find the most expensive item in the store or something like that.

5. Window shopping through a town.

Places that have downtown areas are so cute and a great place to just walk around and window shop. There is no cost to window shop.

6. Go to a boardwalk.

I personally love walking up and down boardwalks and it is free to do so. This is a great date idea where you can stop and watch the waves if you want.

7. Walk on the beach.

There are a lot of free beaches and there is no cost to walk up and down a beach. I love hearing the waves as they flwo over my feet in the sand.

8. Picnic

Picnics are a great low cost date because if you buy food to cook then it usually does not cost as much as buying food to take out. And most parks are free so you have a free place to have your picnic.

9. Take a walk through a park.

Most parks are free to visit and it does not cost anything to take a walk. Parks are so beautiful and romantic and great date places.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
