Dating on a budget

Dating can get to be an expensive undertaking. Trying to woo a young lady into a relationship can drain ones pocket book in no time. So as a service to you, I have decided to make a short list of things to do that are both fun and the cost is agreeable to even the most modest income.

1) find a discount movie theatre. Sure the movies arent always the newest, and the floor can be sticky but really the joy of going to a movie is sitting next to that special someone. An added way to save money here is to bring your own candy, and if youre feeling adventurous, maybe youre own drink. If no discount movie theatre is around, a nice weekend matinee is a nice price beater

2) go for a walk. Find a nice park or even a quiet neighborhood and take a slow paced walk. This a good way to learn about each other, and enjoy each others company.

3) go to the mall. At first this may sound like a potentially expensive trip, but that doesnt have to be the case. The mall has a lot of visually stimulous, the two of you can look at the stores, with no pressure to buy anything, a simple "Im just taking a look around" to the sales clerk will get them off your back. This is also a great way to beat the heat on those 100 degree days.

4) go to eat at local places. good food, and pretty decent prices can be found just down the road (usually within walking distance). There is no need to spend your weekly pay at Don Pablos, when you can get pretty darn good tacos at The Taco House.

5) Play board games/card games. just about everyone has a deck of cards or some sort of board game. Its a great way to socialize, have some friends over and in some cases see if you work well as a team.

I wonder which of these suggestions Sven will use on his next date.

  1. For some reason, he strikes me as a mall date kind of guy.
