The very topic of money can lead to heated discussions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TED Talks<\/a>, and late nights at the office.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><a href=\"https:\/\/motivatedtomarry.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/budget-date-ideas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3208 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/motivatedtomarry.com\/stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/budget-date-ideas.jpg\" alt=\"Couple going for a hike as a low-budget date.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact, research shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/04\/06\/study-your-romantic-partners-spending-affects-your-well-being.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how your partner spends and saves money affects <em>your <\/em>well-being<\/a>. I think my clients already know this. Most of them say that one of the most important qualities they\u2019re seeking in a partner is financial responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Personal money management is rooted in a lot more than just salaries and paying bills on time. It reflects personal history, belief systems, and even self-esteem. So it\u2019s no wonder that, when <a href=\"https:\/\/motivatedtomarry.com\/stage\/do-you-know-if-your-partner-is-marriage-minded-or-not\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">marriage-minded people<\/a> are looking for a life partner, the topic of money is front-and-center. How could it not be?<\/p>\n<p>The early days of dating someone can bring up a lot of uncertainty about money. <em>How much should be spent on a first date? Who should pay? How do I strike a balance between impressing someone and being conservative until we know one another better? Are there budget date ideas that will have the same impact as spending a lot of money?<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>One undeniable truth about dating is that it has underlying costs before you even reach the restaurant. Consider some of the possible costs you may already be incurring:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Membership fees for dating sites and apps.<\/li>\n<li>Entry fees for singles or social events where you can meet eligible people for dating.<\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/motivatedtomarry.com\/stage\/\">dating coach<\/a> to help support you during your dating journey.<\/li>\n<li>A dating service to introduce you to available candidates.<\/li>\n<li>A photographer to update your photos.<\/li>\n<li>Wardrobe updates and personal services so you look and feel your best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And if you\u2019ve been actively dating and footing the bill, you know how the tabs can add up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/Business\/Saving-Money\/2015\/1001\/How-much-should-you-be-spending-on-a-date#:~:text=Cosmopolitan%20found%20that%20men%20spend,even%20want%20an%20expensive%20date.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cosmopolitan found that men spend, on average, $80 on a first date.<\/a> (And that was in 2015!) Add on ongoing date nights, and you can see how costs can pile up.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Match.com found that women don\u2019t really even want an expensive date. At least not at first or all the time.<\/p>\n<p>So that leaves the door wide open for impressing someone new with creative, fun, low-budget date ideas! After all, if you\u2019re truly marriage-minded or at least seeking true love, you want someone who appreciates you and your time. You want to connect on a soul level, and that means paying more attention to one another than to fancy surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>When my husband Alan and I started dating, he was very thrifty. In fact, our first dates were under $25 each. I recognized that it cost a lot of money to take women out, so I didn&#8217;t mind his thriftiness. And I still remember those dates today.<\/p>\n<p>On one date, he took me to an outdoor concert and brought a picnic for us to share. It was wonderful! Then he took me to an outdoor play and bought us ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>When it was my turn, I made him dinner to show my appreciation for all the fun times we had shared.<\/p>\n<p>And the rest is history!<\/p>\n<p>It really is easy to have a wonderful date without spending a lot of money.<\/p>\n<h2>Here are 13 fun, low-budget date ideas for post-social-distancing and beyond:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>For winter fun, look for free indoor concerts and community theater.<\/li>\n<li>If winter means snow where you live, bring out your inner children. Build a snowman and\/or a fort. Invite other singles and have a snowball fight. Have coffee, hot chocolate, snacks, and a fire pit waiting for later.<\/li>\n<li>Find mom-and-pop restaurants that don\u2019t get the usual fanfare. Make a point to help small businesses while trying ethnic foods you may have never tried.<\/li>\n<li>Get a state park pass and start learning about the geography of your area. As you get to know one another better and feel more like a couple, venture further away.<\/li>\n<li>Grab some friends and go bowling or ice skating. Wear fun clothes fitting for what you\u2019re doing to add an element of humor.<\/li>\n<li>Visit the local arboretum.<\/li>\n<li>Visit local museums that have discounted visitation times. Some museums (e.g. in DC and Cincinnati) have museums with free admission. Others have special student and senior rates.<\/li>\n<li>In the summer, brush up on your Shakespeare with Shakespeare in the Park.<\/li>\n<li>Find free or low-cost outdoor concerts during the warm months. Take a picnic and a set of chairs.<\/li>\n<li>Go to local and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vacationsmadeeasy.com\/TheBLT\/The20BestStateFairsinAmerica.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state fairs<\/a>. Get out your Sherwood Forest garb and go to a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Renaissance_and_Medieval_fairs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Renaissance Fair<\/a>.(Granted, fairs can add up with admission and food, but you can find creative ways to enjoy them without spending a ton of money. And they are a great way to spend an entire day together while moving around and interacting with other people.)<\/li>\n<li>If you are active, you can go boating or biking or play tennis. Many activities like biking, kayaking, and paddleboarding allow you to be \u201ctogether\u201d while also social-distancing.<\/li>\n<li>Volunteer together. Few things will bring you the satisfaction that working together for the benefit of others will. Volunteers are needed now more than ever and in countless ways.You can even do outdoor activities like cleaning up a beach or walking shelter dogs. You can help to build a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.habitat.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Habitat for Humanity<\/a> house or deliver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org\/learn-more\/the-issue?gclid=Cj0KCQjwudb3BRC9ARIsAEa-vUuQaPM6EQXhoSFFfC2ev96yOmEaIPx1YNNpd4GOjGG57bov_v9JrbUaAiKXEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Meals on Wheels<\/a>.
