FUN DATE IDEAS

Fun date ideas that won't break the bank for people who want something new and exciting to share with a special someone.

Fun Date Ideas can be cheap. Even though they don't always have to cost a lot, they will definitely REIGNITE THE PASSION in your relationship. If you don't already have someone in mind, here are some great dating secrets so that you can get back into the game. These tips will help a man get any woman he wants!

Whether you are married, in a commited relationship or just starting to get to know one another, fun date ideas are important. But most of us aren't very creative, and you probably think the only good dates are expensive. They aren't. You don't have to break the bank to have fun and we're here to show you how to have a great time on a budget.

Here are some of our top picks for great, cheap, fun dates:

1. Have a bike? If not you can rent one but taking a ride through a scenic park, or other outdoor area can be a great way to have a great afternoon. Pack a light lunch, and enjoy the weather and each other. If you're already comfortable with one another, bring a book or magazine to relax with after

lunch.

Even more fun would be to bring along two bottles of bubbles....and feel like a kid again!

2. Are you a wine or beer lover? Find out if there is a local brewery or winery near you. Take a free tour, learn a few fun facts you can talk about with friends and sample some of their products after. They also serve wine and cheese at gallery openings or showings of new artists' work if you like art. Learn something new about your date's likes and dislikes on this cheap date idea.

3. Skating rinks (winter and summer) and bowling are also fun, active date ideas.

Grab your camera and see your town or surrounding area, through its lens. A great memory-making date that doesn't cost anything but the gas to get there.

5. Spend a morning visiting garage sales, or a flea market. You'll probably learn new things about your date that you never knew when they spy an item that's of interest to them.

6. Google rock hounding or find gems... in your area. Take a pick and shovel and have fun finding your own semi-precious and precious stones.

7. If you live anywhere near a ghost town or abandoned mine this is a great day trip and can be just one of many fun date ideas, imagining who lived there and why they left. Historical sites are also great, and informative.

8. Visit the local museums in your area. Many are free or inexpensive. Take along some wine and cheese, or fruit and chocolate and relax together in a quiet place.

9. Buy some fun, cheap decorations (like posters,streamers, candles) and turn your living room into a club or romantic restaurant. After a nice meal, turn on the music and dance to romantic tunes. Have some fun topics to talk about in between the dances. Like, what is your favorite childhood memory...your favorite teacher when you were growing up, where you grew up....be creative and learn something new about one another.

10. Find a quiet spot and read a romance novel out loud to one another. Not only is it the closest thing to spending the day on a romantic island, you may learn a lot about the other person by the discussions that come out of the experience.

TEN WAYS TO START THE PASSION and PLEASE YOUR PARTNER! Yes, these ideas will really ignite, or reignite the flame.

1. By the time most adults are fifty and over, the idea of date night may have taken a back seat. Don't let that happen. Make sure you enjoy date nights every week together. Can't afford expensive fun date ideas? How about Dinner for just the two of you with drippy candles on the dining table, soft music and lights. After dinner, bring champagne and strawberries to your bedroom and watch a romantic movie, listen to sexy music, play a sexy game in bed. It will probably lead to some great senior sex!

2. Instead of counting your partner's flaws, concentrate on their good qualities. It works because you are not thinking about the negative. And feeling positively about your partner is where romance really starts.

3. Old but effective. Re-ignite the passion by meeting your partner at a bar or cafe as if you were strangers. Strike up a conversation using your best pick-up line and ask questions. Get to know them all over again....ask about their job, where they grew up, dreams, aspirations etc.

4. This will not "re-ignite" the flame, but doing it will certainly put it out! Never tell your partner she's "like her mother". Don't compare her/him in a negative light to anyone in fact. Don't insult, belittle, or make fun of them. Bite your lip, run to the bathroom or go outside but don't do it.

5. Men, take her on a romantic weekend get-away. Depending on your budget it can be a close little b and b or nice motel/hotel, or as far away as Venice Italy...one of the most romantic cities in the world. Dinner in Paris anyone? (ok most of us don't have that kind of money, but just getting away from your routine will put a new spark in your relationship and invite more senior sex)

6. Women are different than men. Duh. They really do have to be in the mood so to speak most of the time (not always). Starting the love-making with a flicker and building to a flame with an erotically or romantically charged movie will hit all the right buttons because women tend to associate movies with their own situation (or fantacy). It could lead to more and longer passion after the closing credits....

7. I wouldn't suggest this if you've just started dating, but if you're already in a committed relationship, or married here is something you might try... Sexy lingerie is always a hit with both men and women. But find out what the comfort level is with your partner first. You don't want to buy her garter belts and leather when she is only comfortable with a sexy bra and panties, or a lacy teddy.

8. Discover some new hobbies together so you are spending time doing things you enjoy together. Make some new friends for interesting conversation.

9. Guys, lose those dirty jeans once in awhile and put on a clean shirt and pants. Even if it's just to the movies or out for a burger and fries. It will make her feel like you appreciate her enough to dress up for her.

10. Spending time together is wonderful and part of a great relationship but spending time with your own friends revitalizes you as a person so that when you come together again you're in a great mood.

I am assuming that you communicate well and that you are both interested in having sex....As you know, great senior sex starts before you actually get into bed. Sex really does start in the brain, and sometimes calculated preparation will get you thinking about the event, and in the mood, long before the act. Try some of these tried and true ideas to reignite your passion in the bedroom.

MORE FUN DATE IDEAS THAT ARE CHEAP

11. Yes, live theater is expensive but you don't have to spend a lot to enjoy a good performance. Check out the local high school plays or college performances. They are much less expensive and some of them are quite good.

12. Pack some wine and cheese, fruit, soft drinks...whatever you like. Grab a blanket and head to the local outdoor symphony in the grass. Listen to the music, and watch the stars.

13. Have a sweet tooth? Visit a candy or chocolate factory near you. They never let you go away empty handed.

14. Tennis anyone?

There are plenty of high school and college tennis courts in every city and town that you can play on for free. And if you live in a fifty and over community, most have tennis courts, resort-like pools, golf and more.

15. If you're the outdoors type, hiking is a great idea for a cheap date. Don't forget the water. There is even indoor rock climbing.

16. Make a suptuous meal or dessert together.

17. Symphony in the Park. They're in most every city during the summer. Bring a blanket and some wine and cheese or a dessert to share.

TAKE A DAY TRIP AND.... VISIT A GHOST TOWN

Take a Vacation together. If you're an active person we suggest Moab, UT. Outlaws used to call it home and it was known as the town too wild to tame. It is located just outside Arches National Park and Canyon lands.

Love the Rocky Mountains? While Colorado is the state that first comes to mind after the late singer sang about its beauty there are other, even more beautiful spots like Island Park . This resort area is less than half an hour from Yellowstone and a day trip to Jackson, WY, Virginia City and great places to do a little digging and panning for gold and saphires.
