Free DATE IDEAS You’ll Actually Want to Try

Ah, date night. the best night of the week! And while I don’t need anything expensive, I do need a little bit of effort. I love to be wined and dined at a bougie restaurant every now and then, but when it comes right down to it, it’s not realistic to expect pricy date nights multiple times a week when you’re in a long-term relationship.

You’ve both gotta budget, after all! That’s why having an abundance of free date ideas in your back pocket is such a great idea.

In addition to being exciting, fun and (at times) a little nerve-wracking, dating is expensive.

That said, there are tons of ways to ensure you and your partner have a memorable night without dropping so much as a dime. Stay in and have a movie marathon, read each other’s tarot cards or go head-to-head in a karaoke battle.

Or, get out and volunteer together, test-drive your dream car or play house and tour fancy open houses. You might be surprised how much fun you two can have together when you aren’t stressing about who’s going to grab the bill at the end of the night.

Be it as simple as a stroll through a new neighborhood or as exciting as a free brewery tour or movie night in the park, you don’t need to spend a ton of coin for some quality time with your partner, and this list is proof.

In this video, you will find out tried-and-true free dates guaranteed to bring you and your partner closer.
