How to Be a Cheap Date

By Mary Quast

I have three sons, all athletes and one graduating then heading to college.  My head spins from busy schedules. Time is in short supply as is funds. However, dearest hubby and I have managed to find time and ways to have some cheap if not free dates.

One of our favorite pastimes is to go junking. We grab a few bucks and leave the monsters, aka kids, at home. While sipping on coffee we plot out our journey to various barn sales, garage sales and estate sales. Driving across the country side exploring and seeking lost treasures is quite enjoyable. I recommend trying it! I suggest packing a picnic lunch then finding a park to benefit from some quiet time.

We like to support our local ice cream shop. Sharing a cone is possible unless it’s Blue Moon or Amaretto Cherry which are MINE.  Enjoying ice cream while holding hands walking through a park or down a street is very romantic and for extra fun show your honey what you can do with your tongue by demonstrating with the frozen treat. Wowza!

Sometimes nature is a nice kick start to a tired sex drive. Fishing and hiking are always nice ways to be together. Capture your honey in a quick embrace and passionate kiss when least expected. Simple touching can add fuel to a fire. Just be careful and not be caught in any compromising position while in a public place.

If you have kids send them to stay with friends or extended family for a night. Cook dinner together, watch a movie, have some wine… clothing optional. If you can’t manage to be alone, you may do the same things, but involve the kids with you. We will cook a huge meal with our boys. Nothing is sexier than hubby cooking and showing his sons the best way to grill a steak or eat a crawfish.

No matter what you do take a moment to see how it can be turned into a romantic opportunity.  The little things add up and create a strong bond for a couple. Sex is great but romance is awesome foreplay!
