The following is a list of fun, low cost to no cost activities you can share with a significant other or creative ideas for those who are actively dating. Enjoy!

It is absolutely free and it gives you a nice workout at the same time. So, even if you don't have the best condition with your date, you will at least enjoy a nice workout!
- Museums: Many museums are reasonably priced and can make for a very low key, nice way to spend a date. You can learn much about a person in a short period of time by what type of art and artifacts they are drawn too. You can also see if they are interested in you and what you think of different museum pieces. It can be an activity that lasts all day long as many museums have refreshment stands and movies you can watch as well as nice shops you can browse.
- Short Day Trips: Why not take a short driving trip to a beautiful location you have heard about? Maybe you know some cliffs that have an exceptional view at a particular time at night. Or maybe you know a driving area that has a nice view along the way. This can make for a nice casual date.
- Rent a Movie: Yes, it might sound too simple, but sometimes the simplest things in life can be the most special. Why not rent his favorite movie? And, next time why not opt for her favorite movie? It is a very low cost way to spend time with that significant person in your life.
- Recreational Room: Many apartment complexes have a recreational room that has a billiard table, ping pong table and sometimes other great activities you can participate in. Why not invite that special person over and share some time in the room playing a few competitive games free of cost? It can be a nice, casual date.
- Street Vendors & Entertainers: Depending where you live there may be some local, popular areas where there are a constant stream of street vendors and entertainers that you can spend the day watching and browsing amongst. Browsing can be a fun way to get to know your significant other's tastes and watching entertainers can be fun. Just think that you can see so many unpredictable sites in one contained area for free!
- Make a Homemade Meal: How romantic!? You can prepare your significant other's favorite meal or cook up one of your best dishes. It can be a nice way to show that special person that you want to make them something nice in a low key inexpensive fashion. You will have complete privacy with your date. It is also nice to know that you will not have to worry about dress codes or reservations. It can make for a much less stressful date situation.
These are just some great, inexpensive ways to spend quality time with that special person in your life! “Money can't buy you love” and spending time with someone does not have to break the bank.
