Many of these historic or culturally significant spots have no or small entrance fees and make a great place to go on a date. You also get to learn more about the area you live. If you have museums in your area, they can be an excellent place to enjoy an inexpensive date. Admission prices are usually reasonable and often they have discounts for those attending a number of events over the year.

Evening At Home:
Cook up a meal at home and spend the evening watching movies or some other activity such as a board game. The meal most likely will be better than at a restaurant and the evening will cost a fraction of what going out to dinner and a movie would cost. Cook the meal together to spend even more time together, or do it yourself as a special surprise.

Sports:
If you and your date are both athletic, sport activities together can be a great way to spend your time. Play a set of tennis, jog in the park, toss a Frisbee about, play catch with a baseball or football or shoot some baskets. Whichever you choose, you can spend quality time at minimal cost and get some exercise in, too.

Fine dining can be fun, but it doesn’t have to take place in restaurants. Consider cooking at home, either preparing a meal for one’s date, or cooking a meal together. Cooking at home considerably cuts down on cost, and part of the fun can be preparing a dinner together. Choose something adventurous to prepare, plan a meal, and shop. A date like this, even with a fairly decent wine can usually be under 1125 INR. Keep a frozen pizza on hand if dinner becomes a disaster.

Around the holidays, one could also have a cooking date to make holiday cookies or cakes to give to friends. Especially decorating cookies together can be a fun way to pass a few hours in someone else’s company.

If one wants to go on a more traditional date for less, consider looking for coupons to use at a restaurant, like "buy one meal get one free." As well, one can also attend movies on bargain nights to cut down on cost. If one has limited means, and a date finds this unacceptable, then price conscious dating may help weed out those who have different financial goals. While one does not have to give a financial profile to potential girlfriends or boyfriends, how a person responds to an inexpensive date can help one determine if a relationship has a future.
