what can i do for fun with my bf?

Question

We are both on a low budget right now and since we can't go out as often as we would like, I have no clue what to do as for fun activities that don't involve spending too much money or no money at all. Do you have any idea what we can do instead of watching tv all day long?

Answer 1

You have a picnic in the park. : }

I found this website with a lot of nice ideas!

Have a car picnic. Take the lunch to some nifty place to eat. The airport or some nice vista

cycling trips ...again if it is nice enough

go fishing

go hiking

get films out of your local library

Play strip poker... hehehe

get a book on massage and teach each other how to do this.. I am serious, it is a wonderful skill for each to have! Again, go to the library

Learn to cook Chinese

collect allll those photos in that drawer and organize them and do a scrapbooking or album thing... I know scrapbooking can get expensive

go fly a kite

go to the museum or an art gallery

or... for free... just walk about and visit art galleries and vintage stores

Hit the Good Will or the Sally Ann and you might luck out on something really cool

book stores and coffee shops often have very cheap entertainment on some nights... for a coffee or a cookie there you go. We have a cafe here that has weekly philosophical discussion nights. A cuppa tea and you are set.

Dream about some place you both want to visit when you are more flush and do some serious research on the things to do, the lifestyle, etc and get enthusiastic

Find a place you would like to volunteer at together

Have a candle light dinner in your bedroom with only finger foods....... the imagination soars when one thinks of what one can do with fruit!

Read aloud to each other... something a little spicy

Toss a frisbee

Go to the beach and camp

Rollerblade

Attend local college events.

Attend under-attended community events.

Rediscover Scrabble and chess

Paint a room

Fondue

Go to a Youth Hostel

Candlelight bubble baths

Have a midnight picnic at the playground

Free concerts in the park

if you are near a university there are always cheap entertainments and theaters

Make swim/play dates with young relatives and give their parents a few hours off. You can collect when YOU have kids!

Every week, on the same night, spend a few minutes verbalizing how appreciative you are for the things your partner did last week. It might be awkward at first but soon you run out of time. It is a lovely bonding exercise.

Give each other a pedicure. I guarantee if you massage his feet too he will reciprocate. If he doesn't, divorce the cad! (joke)

Got a garden?

I am plumb outta ideas but I hope there is something in here that tickles your fancy!

Answer 3

There are lots of ideas you can consider...here are a few:

1) Have a picnic in a unique place like a park or beach or historical location...look up the history before you go and talk about it.

2) Go outside and go for a walk. On your walk, look for two things each that are interesting or unique things you haven't seen before. Take your digital camera along to capture what you see. You'll come back refreshed and your mind will be expanded.

3) Go to a tradeshow or cultural fair. Usually these exist every weekend in every city if you search for them. You can see very interesting things all day long for very little money to get in. They are often much better than they seem.

4) Check out free community plays or concerts. These also exist regularly and are often very good. You just have to search for them.

5) If you want to stay at home, play a game or do a puzzle together. It is often hard to get started on something like this, but very fun once you do it. Just start and see what happens.

6) Set a goal together for a project you want to do together that would be something you both would enjoy. Think about your goals and select a project that moves toward those goals. Start your project together.

7) Volunteer once to serve other people in a unique place like the city mission. They are always looking for volunteers and one afternoon there just might give you a new perspective on life and make you feel very good about what you accomplished.

Answer 4

Well, when we are tight on cash we usually go to the park and play around. The best time is when all the kids have already gone - that way we can regress into our childhoods and go crazy on the swings, monkeybars, and slides.

We also go for walks, and if we have two or three dollars to spare, then we will spilt a float or smoothie.

We also have boxing gloves and use those to fight in the backyard - but he has to be gentle or else I'll get hurt or angry.

Something else we have been known to do is to go to the bookstore and look at interesting books / articles together. The comic section is usually fun, so is the sex help section.

Hello
Yes! We have the same problem. My husband and I go to the Public Library,Walk together in our community this allows us to talk.(He is away from the ball games he watches when we take walks). Look in your newspaper for community events that are free like Flea Markets this can help you to get ideas for Holiday/Birthday Gifts. Go to your Humane Society look at the dogs,and cats. You may even go back later and adopt one. Go to a fast food and ask for a cup of water for the two of you the fast food usually do not charge as long as you do not make this a habit. Take a ride on the city bus line this is cheap,and you may even see streets you never seen before. Volunteer at a local hospital the both of you can join to volunteer.Ask a college if you two can sit in on a class sometime they will let you free of charge.Such as Psychology or Business Law something that interest both of you. This is just some things you may want to check out. Maybe go to church the churches have all kinds of baby showers,weddings help out the church mow lawn ?
