Let’s face it. Nothing can be harder on your love life than a lack of funds. That doesn’t mean you have to dine out at an expensive restaurant or take a girl on a shopping spree to have a thriving love life. All you need is some good ideas for a date on a budget!

Show your “sweet and sensitive” side with a picnic in the park or on the beach. Cooking/preparing your meals at home will definitely save you some cash and you’ll score some points in the romance department. Instead of thinking “what a cheap date” they’ll think “wow he put a lot of effort into this”.

Just remember, this can easily go horribly wrong… Nothing kills a mood more than eating some gross/soggy food in the middle of nowhere
-Don’t just get chips and beer and call it a day

1) If you can’t cook, get someone who can.

2) Location, location, location!

- Don’t pick a park in a sketchy neighborhood or a polluted beach
- Food, blankets, drink and maybe some lights, so you aren’t eating in the dark

3) Make sure you have all the essentials:

- Don’t just focus on cheap romantic date ideas… you need to focus on cheap and FUN date ideas!
