Summer may be coming to an end, but being romantic with your sweetie pie shouldn’t. A romantic dinner for two, $80, an evening out at the movies, $35, night time coffee and desert, $15, spending quality time with your second half without spending the big bucks, PRICELESS!
Don’t let the romance disappear because your pockets and wallet don’t run deep. Here’s five ways you can still have a wonderful time together without the hassle of long lines and spending a fortune. So, grab your honey and have your own little escape.
Five Romantic Ways to Spend Time With Your Love That Won’t Cost You a Bundle

2. Your Own Fondue! Prepare your very own chocolate covered fruit desert and feed each other deliciousness!
First, buy some of your favorite fruits. Choose from either or all fruits, like cherries, fresh strawberries, pineapple, blueberries or apples.
If you are your snuggle buddy aren’t fruit fanatics, or simply want to try something new, you can get walnuts, almonds, and pecans and dip away!
Next, get some dark, milk, and or white melting chocolate. If you are going to use the pineapple and apples, cut them up into edible slices. Place all your fruit pieces or nuts into a large bowl and start dipping into the chocolate delight! Whatever the fruit or nut may be, chocolate makes it much tastier!
3. Picnic for two. Have a picnic in the park or even in your backyard if you have a lawn with privacy. Leave all electronic devices at home, or if you must, leave them in the car. If you’re driving there, leave the car parked, and take a stroll through the park first. Then come back for your meal. This is your time together. There is nowhere to rush to so enjoy each moment together. If you’re feeling adventurous, bring along two bikes and you can both ride together. If you happen to live near New York City, take a walk through Central Park, where you can find your own cozy spot just for the two of you. Or, if you are up for the walk, cross over the Brooklyn Bridge. There are breathtaking view of New York and perfect spots of photos.
4. Sale Sale Sale! Look through the local paper for listings of garage sales, flea markets, farmer’s markets or even an arts and crafts show. You don’t have to buy anything, but just can spend the morning or afternoon looking at antiques and other peoples treasures. Who knows what you may find!
5. Touchy Feely Time. Massages these days can cost a fortune. Why pay the money, when you can have your own, free of charge at home-by yours truly? Take turns giving each other a massage, slowly, showing your partner you care about their needs. Both of you have had a hard week at work, and need the down time to rest and unwind. You can use lotion or oil, depending on what your partner prefers.
Remember, being romantic doesn’t mean you have to spend your whole paycheck in one night. Take the time to talk to one another and understand what each of you needs and wants. Romance doesn’t have a price tag. Spending time together, making each other laugh, and listening to one another’s thoughts and feelings is as intimate as you can get. Go ahead, and enjoy!
