Cheap and Free Valentine's Day Dates
But what if you are dating or married to a woman who values experience more than gifts? Then you, sir, need to plan a date.
No, I'm not talking the typical Valentine's Day dinner at some expensive restaurant. I'm talking unique and fun ideas to make this Valentine's Day super special.
Before we talk about those, I want you to think about what are the qualities of a great date:
A time blocked off for quality time for you two
A fun experience
An enriching experience
Something memorable (in a good way)
That's it. Those four points make for a great date. Cost is not a major factor, especially when you've been dating or married for some time.
Beyond those parameters, there exists a huge variety of experiences that can be classified as dates, and a lot of them are fairly cheap (or even FREE!) Here are just a few ideas for a romantic and memorable Valentine's Day experience.
-Go to a used bookstore and find the weirdest/funniest/or coolest book to read together
-Instead of going to dinner, meet up for breakfast

(Libraries often have events and courses they offer to the community, many of which are cheap or even free. Visit your library's website for more details)
