Unique Budget-Friendly Dating Tips to Woo Your Girl
Love shouldn’t cost a thing, according to a famous song. But let’s face it, sometimes it does. Date nights in restaurants, secret getaways in romantic castles and flower bouquets can end up making the wallet just a little too light. But luckily, the conventional dates are a thing of the past and frugal guys can woo their girls with unique, yet budget-friendly date ideas.
Walk Around Flea Markets
While the temptation to spend money is much higher at shopping centres, flea markets can be a great way to spend an afternoon. It’s also not going to send you into panic mode if the woman of your dreams happens to say “Aw, I’d really love that diamond ring right there”, as flea market diamond rings will probably be closer to £3 than £300.
Besides of having lots of stuff for cheap, these items can have plenty of hidden gems to guarantee you both enjoy the experience. You can find retro toys, old books and cool comics to ensure there’s something fun to buy if you want. Furthermore, all this gear will also ensure there’s plenty to talk about.
Swap The Movies for a Theatre
You will definitely woo a girl by taking her to see a play or a musical instead of the latest Bourne movie. What is good about a theatre date? You can actually find stunningly cheap ticket offers through websites like DiscountTheatre.com.
Before you start worrying about the need for a dinner before or after the show, you could simply skip it by going to the daytime performance (they are cheaper!) and having a quick sandwich lunch at a nearby park. It’s quirky and it’s sweet.
Drinks Tasting Experience
Dates often involve a bit of drinking, which can help calm down the nerves, especially during the first dates into a relationship. Yet going to a bar doesn’t come cheap and the bill quickly explodes as the night goes on.
To have a few sophisticated drinks and for free, you just need to take your date to a drink tasting event. For instance, wine tasting and brewery tours can be a fun way to experience drinks while having a good time. With the help of savings codes, you can even find experiences for £9! The Virgin Experience Day is currently offering this amazing offer at Chiltern Valley Winery and Brewery and with the voucher code, you’ll end up saving 50%.
Free Museums and Exhibitions
The world is full of free things to experience. Museums and art exhibitions are often free; or at least they offer special free days every once in a while. It might sound boring, but quirky museums exist and they are definitely going to make you both laugh.
Check out sites like Domestic Sluttery and find out more about the UK’s weirdest and funniest museums. If the museum is nearby a park, you can find yourself a cheap picnic basket and pack it up with goodies from cheap supermarkets like Lidl. A picnic and a museum – Who could resist that offer?
Cook Together
Who needs restaurant food when you can just become Jamie Oliver at home? Cooking at home is the perfect way to save money and when you do it together with your crush, it becomes even more fun.
Don’t worry if you’ve not spent that much time next to the stove before. Read up on some simple recipes and perhaps even test them out yourself before inviting your girl over. Get the gear ready, pick some not-so-expensive wine from Sainsbury’s and you’ll have more fun than you would have sitting in a fancy restaurant.
Home cooking will relax you both much more, you’ll save money and you might just end up creating the best meal in the world. As they say, the way to a girl’s heart is through the stomach. Well admittedly, the saying was about men’s hearts, but we live in the 21st century now.
Organise a Game Night
Whether you are into board games or video games, gaming can bring couples together. You can either have a quiet night between the two of you or even ask a few friends to join in, depending on what you are looking for.
If your cabinets aren’t filled with board games, you can find cheap ones from second hand stores or buy them online at Gameslore. The variety in two player games is quite large these days. We recommend games like Hive and Jaipur.
Furthermore, if you have a gaming console, check cheap games from online stores like Gameseek. Racing games, platformers and the like are the perfect games to play with a partner and you’ll quickly end up spending hours just having a laugh.
You might want to try the new multi-player game Overwatch, which is fun to watch and play. And if you have no ther plans with your partner, you can also surprise them with gifts from the Ann Summers Collection. So, there you have it – a selection of budget-friendly dating ideas for wooing your girl. You just need to remember to plan your date well, look for deals online and remember that spending quality time is the most important part of the date, not spending money.
