Get a cheap bottle of wine and some glasses and some strawberries, cheese, some crackers and put in a basket and go to a nice lake with a blanket and go in the evening and stay until the stars come out! Just talk about things and have some fun!

20 Dates for Under $20 - check it out
1. Find the best happy hour in town. Look through your newspaper or search online for local restaurants and bars with happy hours. Most places offer half-price food and drink specials, allowing you to get two drinks and share an appetizer for less than $20.
2. Go to a museum. Most museums either have free admission or offer free entry on certain days of the month.
3. Visit your local zoo. Most zoos offer adult tickets for less than $10. Pack your own snacks and bottled water and have a mini picnic while you’re there.
4. Go on a romantic hike. Bring a backpack and surprise your partner with a bottle of champagne, glasses and fresh strawberries.
5. Go swimming at your local pool, lake or beach. Bring some water toys and have more fun than the kids.
6. Beat the heat with an ice cream date. Take two scoops to the park, or take a walk downtown and go people watching.
7. Hit the dollar movie theater. Lots of cities have discount movie theaters showing second-run features. Pick a rainy day and have a movie marathon.
8. Take a downtown walking tour. Discover things and places you never knew existed. While you’re there, pick up a free visitors guide for more date ideas.
9. Plan a cheap picnic. Go on a picnic at the beach, mountains or in your own backyard. Grab a blanket, pack a deli sandwich and a bottle of $5 wine.
10. Take a blanket to the beach. Split your budget between a bottle of wine and cheese, then enjoy the sunset while you snuggle on a blanket.
11. Stroll through the botanical gardens. Spend the day walking hand in hand through rose gardens and tropical rainforests, for less than $10 a ticket.
12. Be a kid again. Go bowling, play miniature golf, ride go-carts or play laser tag.
13. Build a bonfire. All you need is some firewood, snacks and a drink of your choice. This is also a great opportunity to make ’smores.
14. Rent something. Go roller- or ice-skating, rent a two-seater bike and pedal through the park, or paddle a boat on a pond.
15. Paint pottery together. Lots of studios let you get creative for around $6 an hour.
16. Pitch a tent. Park fees are usually less than $10, which leaves money for food and firewood. Go camping and roast hot dogs as you gaze at the stars.
17. Go wine tasting. Most wineries charge around $5 for a tasting of five different wines — plus, you’ll get to keep the glass as a souvenir of your date.
18. Take a scenic drive. Pull over to have coffee and dessert at a nice cafe.
19. Explore local galleries and artists. Many cities have art walks one night a month during the summer, with the bonus of a free glass of wine.
20. Rack ‘em up at your local pool joint. With pool games costing less than $2, you might even have money left over to share a pitcher of beer.

We have been married and very happy for 29 years and do all of these things and more! We like to take drives (if you can afford the gas!) and usually end up at a state park. Inexpensive and many have waterfalls and other gorgeous scenery. Walking and talking can be very romantic. Check the web for your area and you will probably discover places youv’e never been. Either take a picnic or we like to stop at some unknown road-side tavern. They always have the VERY best burger and fries. Daytime usually finds them fairly empty, and you can order pop or milk if you don’t drink. Have you tried the massage date? You each take turns giving a masage to the other. Soft music and mood lighting helps. Champagne is great! And a little warm oil. Surprise him with new lingerie for you and something sexy for him to wear as well. If you start with dinner, try to keep it light and easy…like salmon and cream cheese on sour dough with sliced red onion. Or, cheeze fondue (don’t have to have a special pot, a pan will do). You can use bottled cheez whiz and melt it with just a little beer for pizazz. Have sour dough and bite size steak pieces to dip. If you can afford it, a night away from the kids is always great. Don’t place too much emphasis on what actually happens, as you might just enjoy a good nights sleep! And, there is always the morning. That can be a VERY nice change for parents. If you can’t afford the hotel, try an overnight sitter(at their house) and set up some hotel ambience at home. If your’e ok with it rent an x-rated video. Now there’s a surprise every man loves! Happy parents make happy children! If you live near a coastal area you can always try the kite flying date. Most men love it. You can pack kites and a picnic and surprise him with it when you arrive. Men seem to love surprise that show you were thinking of them. If you have access, you can rent canoes or bicycles and plan an entire day around those. A day at your local museums can be very surprising. If you don’t get to very often, dress up! It feels good.Try an art museum and perhaps one or two cocktails at a local club in the afternoon. It always seems kind of naughty to drink during the day. If you don’t like alcohol, order a fancy virgin drink. It’s still great fun.
