So you are finally having a date with your crush. And of course, you want it to be nice, fun and memorable, but at the same time you cannot afford to spend a fortune on it.

Go to an event organized by your local community that you both will enjoy. It can be an open air concert in a public park, an exhibition of the local photographers’ works, or a presentation of a new book by an author you like. You will learn more about each other’s interest and have fun.
Get outside. A perfect idea would be a bike ride in the countryside (do not forget to take some sandwiches, crackers, and water to have a snack). But even a walk in the park will do. Just get away from the campus and enjoy your time together.
Another original date idea is visiting a drive-in movie theater – provided that your date or you own a car. You can even bring pillows to make the car more comfortable. It is a great alternative to the usual movies.
