- Sky Diving-For a real thrill you can take your date sky diving. Keep in mind that this can be costly (typically $100 or more per person), but it is usually an once-in-a-lifetime experience for most folks. You can check your local yellow pages for sky-diving schools or for a little tamer twist check out some of the skydiving venues that are now offered inside. After being properly suited up you are taken into a wind chamber that allows you to simulate sky diving. You and you date can still get that thrill of flying for nearly half the price.
- Take a cooking class-This is great way to get know someone. Food is a universal experience and gives you lots to talk about. There are plenty of one night only classes available or if you are seriously interested in someone you may want to sign up for a regular class. Bon Appetit!
- Test drive cars- Just be sure that you visit the best car dealers in your area and test drive their most luxurious and expensive vehicles. Make sure to let your date drive half the time. This is a budget friendly date that can give you a glimpse into how the other half lives.
- Attend an art or film festival-Many cities have periodic art or film festivals that feature new artists in the entertainment world. Best of all you can get tickets to attractions for a fraction of the cost after they have been released. While many of these art displays and films can be rather avant garde you and your date will be seeing what is right around the corner in the art and film world.
- Go to a farmer's market-Get ingredients to cooks dinner from your local farmers market. Most cities have a Farmer's Market of some size that offers the freshest in produce and other products. Make a game of it that you will only use what you can find at the Farmer's Market to make lunch or dinner. You will be saving money, having fun and being kind to the planet all at the same time!
- Go on a treasure hunt-You can rent or borrow a metal detector and search abandoned parks, beaches and vacant lot for "treasures" like coins and jewelry. You may be shocked at the treasures you will find!
- Attend dance school-Most dance schools will offer an introductory class for free. You can usually learn basic waltz steps in just one class and you can carry the knowledge on from wedding to wedding.
- Gather from the wild! If you live in a relatively rural area you can spend an afternoon gathering wild strawberries, blackberries or raspberries. Many areas even offer a "You pick then pay" option. After picking your delights you can then make shortcake for dessert!
- Have a drink! If you live in a wine growing area be sure to check out the wineries for wine tasting events and festivals. Many of these festivals include live music, too!
- Attend an auction! Bidding at an auction can be a lot of fun and browsing through antique items and home décor is a great way to get to know each others' tastes.
- Volunteer at a local animal shelter-Most animal shelters are always looking for volunteers for walking dogs and petting cats. You and your date can have a lot of fun by spending a few hours giving some homeless animals a little loving attention.
