Taking that special woman out for a romantic date doesn’t have to cost a small fortune. In reality, going any place with her can be romantic if the mood is right and the chemistry is running hot. While you may want to take your date on a private hot air balloon ride over the Napa Valley and then to a private resort, it might be out of your price range. Here are some ideas for fun, romantic dates that won’t require you to take out a payday advance.
1. A Hike in the Wilderness
Assuming you and your date don’t have outdoor allergies, a day of hiking on nearby trails can be quite romantic. There are plenty of opportunities for hand holding, deep conversation, and eye-gazing. You can pack lunches and enjoy a picnic among the trees. Most hiking areas have beginner trails that are not too intense – or you can challenge each other on the more advanced trails.
2. A Day at the Beach
If you live near the beach, consider yourself lucky. You have one of the best places for a romantic date at your disposal. The beach is perfect for sunrises, sunsets, fires, cookouts, and romantic memories. Sitting on the sand, watching the tide come in is the perfect time for holding each other and whispering words of love.
3. An Afternoon at the Museum
There is something very sexy about museums. Perhaps it’s all the slow walking, opportunities for stolen glances, and the chance to put your arm around her. Admission to museums isn’t usually too pricey unless there is a special exhibit in town. If you choose to make the museum a romantic outing, you will may get bonus points with her for being intellectual.
4. Movie Night at Your Place
Plan an evening in – rent some movies that you’ve both been wanting to see and have a movie night. You can order in, pop some popcorn, kick off your shoes, and watch great movies. There is planning involved to make this a special night: You’ll want to clean your apartment or house, get good movies, and buy some movie candies. Don’t forget the candles!
5. Adventures at the County Fair
If the county fair is in town, plan to take your date to it. Walking arm and arm down the aisles of games and semi-dangerous rides is always romantic. Share a cotton candy while reminiscing about your youth, and win her a stuffed snake. The price of admission is much less than a theme park, and the memories will be priceless.
