Sample a variety of cafe's. Instead of just staying at one restaurant, have dinner at one place and dessert at another. Try to find places within walking distance, this way you can enjoy the scenery.

Going to a Concert

A couple of our friends (husband and wife) the other day invited us to a concert, they had some free tickets---it was a great date for my husband and I. We were able to spend time with our friends as well as have a date.

If you are not as fortunate as we were to get to go to a professional concert for free, but you and your spouse like live music there are all types of inexpensive live music in every ones community, even the high school or middle school. The local news paper should list all the concerts in your area.

Library Trip

There are so many great things at the library; DVD's, VHS, Audio Books, Books of all kinds, magazines, newspapers, CD's, computers, and classes.

Take a trip to the local library together and choose something to read, listen, or to watch together. Choosing can be as fun if not more fun as reading, listening, or watching whatever you choose together.

Fortune Cookies

Oder out for Chinese dinner, but make your own fortune cookies. Make the cookies before dinner so that after eating your meal you can have a fun cookie that you and your honey made.

Love, Like Rain

Recently I read the book The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. In the book Mitch Albom writes about love;

"Love, like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with soaking love. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to it's roots, keeping itself alive."

Personal Art

Get together huge sheets of paper and pens, or charcoal, or crayons or watercolors. Take your date to an art museum or art gallery or art festival. After, return home (or go to a park with a picnic table or other location) and create your own artwork.

Progressive dinner

If you and your friends live close together, then a progressive dinner can be lots of fun. The idea is to go from house to house for each phase of the dinner. At one house you have appetizers, at another the salad, at another the main dish, and so on. You might stop at four to six houses for the full meal. Organizing it can be half the fun.
