Regular dates are so important. No matter what stage you are at in the relationship, having special times for bonding and recreation together can greatly strengthen your relationship. But these dates don’t have to break the bank. Some of the most fun dates are either free or very inexpensive and can encourage you to break out of your routine. Dinner and movie theater dates are great and all, but if that’s what you do for every date, it can get a bit routine. So mix it up a little! Here are 50 of my favorite cheap date night ideas.
