Surely college students understand the dilemma of planning dates restricted by a tight budget. Here are some ideas that may help out and inexpensively help a couple bond in a relationship.
- Food and Drinks
There are numerous bars and cafes around town that will yield a receipt just a little shy of $20. However, this idea requires more talking and less drinking!
- Movies
Though most theaters aren’t as inexpensive as those in College Station and Bryan, movies are still an option that requires limited indulgence in popcorn.
- Bowling
Two pairs of bowling shoes and a one-hour time slot is a reasonably priced date option that’s both fun and helps a couple connect. Competitiveness may cost you, though!
- Picnic
This idea is more of a DIY date that traditionally well received. Soak up some Vitamin-C along with Vitamin-“She” and treat with sandwiches in the park.
- Poolside Hangout
Most apartment complexes have a pool and as spring approaches, and if the weather cooperates, a few hours by the water are a simple and relaxing option. So flaunt your swimsuit wardrobe and take a day off, close to home.
- Volunteer Together
This one is for the philanthropic couples out there that share satisfaction by spreading joy. There is always a need for youth volunteers and the time shared together can make for a rewarding date.
- Arcade Night
A night out at Chuck-E-Cheese’s or Dave and Buster’s will bring out the child in both partners. Dates that follow might even be more relaxed and less awkward in the beginning of a relationship.
- Karaoke Night
A karaoke night date either reveals either an American Idol or “sing-in-the-shower” personality, both of which are appreciated for an enjoyable night.
