So you’ve found another YBP that you enjoy spending time with. You go on a few dates consistently…but then run out of ideas. As said in Love Jones, you the romance isn’t dead, you just haven’t exhausted the possibilities. In dating you have to be creative so that you won’t get bored or tired of each other. You don’t want to be an “old couple” too quickly and just stay in all the time (unless that’s what you’re into, in which case, more power to you).
If you spent a lot of money (probably trying to impress) on the first few dates, you can take it down a notch and try some “cheap date” ideas.
Rent a Movie. You can duplicate the cinema experience by renting a favorite movie, making popcorn, and dimming the lights. Your date might even appreciate the extra leg room and ability to pause the flick for a restroom break.
Sip Mocha Lattes. Starbucks can be your best friend when it comes to lounging with your date, shooting the breeze, and sipping your favorite coffee beverage. You might even take your relationship to a deeper level thanks to the coffee talk.
Share a Sundae on Sunday. Take a trip to your local ice cream store and build a sundae together. You’ll flirt over the toppings and sit close together as you spoon your way to sugar heaven.
Walk in the Park. Combine exercise and fitness with romance.
can take-in the beautiful scenery while holding hands. Maybe even put together a picnic in an open field or near the lake.
Tour Your Own City. You can hop on a tourist bus and enjoy the sights and sounds of your very own city. You’ll avoid the plane ticket and hotel charges while learning all about your very own zip code. You may find a lot of things to do that you never even realized before.
