7 Cheap Date Ideas

Everyone knows that a great date has very little to do with what food you ate or what event you attended. The best ones highly revolve around spending time with an awesome person, which means it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg. Here are a few “creative” date ideas to try...all of which don’t break the bank.
 

 
Explore your city. There’s a big chance you haven’t fully explored your own backyard, so why not do it with that special someone? Hop on a jeepney or tricycle and ask to be dropped off at a place you don’t frequent (provided it’s not in a shady part of town). You just might discover a new restaurant, store, or hangout that you can both claim as your “own.” Or try a guided tour: famed “walking tour” guide Carlos Celdran has been known to hold “barter tours,” wherein he tours people around Intramuros in exchange for any object you’re willing to give him!
 

 
See a rock show. Forget pricey concerts. Head on over to the nearest gig-hosting bar for live music that doesn’t involve Top 40 covers. In Quezon City, you can visit Route 196, Big Sky Mind and 70’s Bistro; in Makati, regular music haunts include Sa Guijo, B-Side, and Blackbird. Wherever you live, there's most likely a venue where local bands perform. You’ll have to pay a cover fee, which runs about Php150, but it usually comes with a free drink.
 

 
Spend time in a bookstore. Gone are the days when lingering in bookstores meant evil glares from sales staff. Go to your favorite bookstore and take turns reading lines to each other from your favorite poets, point out the books that changed your life, or plant yourselves at the graphic novel section as you debate over which superhero would win if all of them went head-to-head.
 

 
Cook. You know those bourbon-glazed baby back ribs you absolutely must have at your favorite restaurant? Why not try to replicate them at home? Find a similar recipe, head on over to the supermarket, buy some key ingredients, and get cooking. You may or may not end up with the most stellar results, but you’ll most definitely have a fun time trying!
 

 
Go for a jog. Strap on those running shoes and break a sweat. Keep the pace to a comfortable jog, so you can still carry a conversation. What could beat getting fit and getting to know your date at the same time? It could also offset all those calorie-laden dinner dates you've had. Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, the UP Oval in Diliman, Quezon City, Roxas Boulevard and the refurbished Rizal Park in Manila are good options for jogging or walking destinations if you're in Metro Manila.
 

 
Volunteer. Spread some good karma by volunteering for a cause you both believe in: may it be building homes for the poor, taking care of babies for the day in an orphanage, or bathing dogs at an animal shelter. Nothing is sex ...

Making your Romantic Dreams come True

Are you having the romantic life you have always wanted in your imagination? Welcome to the club that has many members who feel and live exactly the way you do! Romance is always simple and carefree when it is being acted out in our imaginations. We can come up with the most unbelievable and breathtaking ideas and play scenes that make the best romantic movies look amateur. The only catch to all this however, is that they are developed in our fantasies and stay there, without ever actually taking place in our real lives. Why is that? Why is it so easy for us to fantasize about the most amazing romances, but can never find such romances that really exist? Does it just not happen? Is there no such thing?
 
No, there is no such thing as a romantic dream come true until you create its existence. That's right, you carry the key that will open the magical door to making all of your romantic dreams come true. What did you expect to find out? That someday an invisible wand will be waved over you, miraculously bringing you and your meant to be honey together? Well, if that is what you are counting on and waiting for, prepare to keep on waiting! Do not get the wrong idea here, of course there are situations where two people meet and have an instant connection, but things do not just stop there. Many make a mistake in believing that once they found someone they make a great connection with, everything else will fall into place perfectly and all of their romantic fantasies will come true automatically.
 
If you want your fantasies to become a reality, then you must introduce them to reality. Our partners are not mind readers, yet we tend to believe they are, expecting them to act out and the things we picture them doing in our imaginations. You do not necessarily have to ask your partner to act a certain way or do a certain thing, but you can introduce your romantic ideas by starting to act them out yourself. This will paint a clear picture for your partner, helping him or her see what kind of romantic personality you have, and what you enjoy. You will also learn more about your partner, because you will see their response to your romantic suggestions, which is why is it extremely important that you do this at the beginning of your dating process, or in the beginning of your relationship. If you do not, you could very well be setting yourself up for deep disappointment.
