Fun and Romance on a Budget

      Wishing for a little romance with that significant other, but can't think of anything than the typical going-to-the-movies-then-dinner date?  Having an even harder time thinking of a non-typical date and staying within a budget?  Look no further, as I found a neat website that lists 50 fun and cheap date ideas!

      I'm not saying that those dates (like the movie-then-dinner and vice versa, the grab-coffee/lunch/dinner, or the crazy-expensive-trips-to-amusement-parks, etc.) are not fun; most of them are a classic and it is the time spent together that makes it enjoyable.  But, a little variety in how to spend time together might just be as fun, if not more fun, as both parties stumble into a new (and fairly inexpensive) activity together.  Heck, it might feel like a first date.

Here's a few (untried, so not-yet-approved) ideas that I'd add to the list:

1. If you haven't done so, walk around the neighborhood and explore the little shops/parks.
2. Do chores together (like walking a pet, washing a pet, gardening, getting a haircut, washing the car, etc.)
3. Start a scrapbook storybook together.

      I hope the list inspires others to try a non-typical date activity. I'm eager to try some of them too.  Just remember, that for the date to work, both partners need to plan together to lessen the stress of having to plan everything by a lonesome self.  Good luck and may you all have fun :)
