Date ideas under $20 are fun.
Can you imagine it I finally find out the woman of my dreams is single?
And I’m flat broke!
This woman is between 8.5 – 9.
She’s gorgeous so I figured I’d need to impress her with an expensive first date.
WRONG!
Luckily a friend told me about the following date ideas that are fun and won’t break the bank.
If you are looking for cheap date ideas you’re on the right page.
11 Cheap Date Ideas For $20 Or Less
I think it’s always too good to spend the least amount you can on a first date.
That way you aren’t out a bunch of money if the dates suck.
#1. Live Music
I’m a big fan of live music.
This is best during the summer but you can usually find local live music outdoors which is usually free.
You may spend up to $20 on beers or food but if the date is only an hour or so you can get by with only 1 Jackson.
#2. Romantic Picnic
Another great option when the weather is nice is to suggest a picnic.
Choose a romantic spot that is quiet enough to hear each other dark but in as much privacy as possible.
What should you bring on a picnic?
Here’s a list of items to bring for your picnic date HERE.
#3. Photoshoot
This cheap date idea is truly inexpensive all you need is a camera (even the one on your phone) will due.
The important part is to create memories together by taking pictures of each other.
Find a romantic area that is perfect for your photo shoot.
#4. Go For A Hike
I’ve chosen this cheap date idea before and it was a lot of fun.
Both of us were new to hiking and wanted to test a new trail out.
It was perfect for helping each other not feel nervous about the first date and experience the beautiful nature around us practically alone.
#5. Netflix Night
You probably expected this to be on the list.
It’s the classic Netflix and chill night.
You’d be surprised how even on a first date many women will be open to this idea.
Just make sure to have drinks and food ready for the date.
#6. Get Sweaty Together
No, not that!… Yet.
I mean get sweaty at the gym together or take a dance lesson.
It’s fun because you can see her in those sexy gym outfits as she works out next to you.
Try to go during the evening or when the gym is least crowded for this one.
#7. Massage Night
I love getting and giving my woman a massage.
Especially naked all you need is a romantic setting, relaxing music, and massage oil/lotion.
It’s a very romantic and inexpensive date idea that you’ll want to repeat often.
#8. Go For A Romantic Walk
When I lived near the ocean-going for a romantic walk was easy to do.
Something about the sound and smell of the ocean air puts me in a good mood.
It’s also a very relaxing and chill vibe for your date.
Plan your location ahead of time you don’t want to worry about this during the date.
#9. Pool Hall
Date ideas under $20 usually include pool halls because you can get in a couple of games and a beer for not much money at all.
It’s also a fun way to challenge each other in the games you play.
#10. Go Bowling
I suck at bowling but I still love to play and it’s a great cheap date idea.
Check for your local bowling alley for rates and the best dates to go.
Sometimes you can get bowling and beer for super cheap depending on the night you go.
#11. Share a Bottle Of Wine
Date ideas under $20 bring to mind my wine collection.
If your date enjoys wine find out what kind and share a bottle of wine together.
One bottle of wine is enough for you to get a couple of glasses apiece.
#12. Visit The Museum
The museum is an inexpensive and fun way to spend the day together.
You can easily go exploring all day and it’s a great way to spark conversation.
#13. Road Trip
Gas prices are getting really high but you can still get on a short road trip somewhere out of town for $20.
Plan ahead so you don’t drive further than your date ideas under $20.
#14. Go Thrifting
Going to garage sales or yard sales is usually best on Friday Saturday or Sunday.
You can hunt for treasure together and find good deals too.
#15. Happy Hour
After-work dates are perfect for happy hour.
Many restaurants have deals that you can score for $20 or less.
I’ve been able to get two beers each and a few appetizers for not much at all.
#16. Bookstore
If you think reading is boring try having your woman read to you out of a seductive romance book.
You can take turns reading to each other out of erotic books and see where it leads.
#17. Play Games At Home
Depending on how far along you are in dating.
A game night at your place can be a great way to save money and have a lot of fun at the same time.
Arcade games are ok but there are many adult board games that are much better for this situation.
