<td>
<h3>Wii Rock!!</h3>
<p>Break out that video game console, especially with games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. These make a great date especially if you&#8217;re meeting a new circle of friends.</td>

<td>
<h3>Go Ride the Rapids</h3>
<p>With all the colors that leaves turn in autumn, grab a rake and go outside and make a big pile and then jump away. Yea, you might just have to do the raking twice, but the fun you have will more then be worth it.</td>
</tr>

<td><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-967" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Bowling" src="http://www.frugaldater.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/purpleFlowers.jpg" alt="Bowling" width="128" height="128" /></td>
<td>
<h3>Bring her a bouquet &#8211; of freshly picked flowers</h3>
<p>Go out to a hillside where there&#8217;s flowers (not your neighbor&#8217;s yard) and go gather up a bunch of wildflowers and bring them to her. Bring a twist tie from either your dry cleaning or a bread bag to keep them all together.</td>
</tr>

<td><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1410" style="border: 0pt none;" title="picnic_icon" src="http://www.frugaldater.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/picnic_icon.jpg" alt="spring date ideas free" width="128" height="128" /></td>
<td>
<h3>Find the perfect picnic spot</h3>
<p>Get a poker game going and invite him or her to play. You&#8217;ll get a good change to see their poker face and to see how good they are at bluffing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been surprised lately on how many women have picked up on the poker craze that has been going around.</td>
</tr>

<td>
<h3>Show you&#8217;ve got balls</h3>
<p>Dust off some of that sports equipment that you have sitting around like a tennis raquet or basketball. Don&#8217;t have a tennis raquet? Try your local goodwill store or thrift shop to buy one (or two) for less then ten bucks before going to the local sporting goods store and spending big bucks on a racket. Or you could see if there&#8217;s a Play it Again sports store around you (or another sporting equipment reseller).</td>
</tr>

<td>
<h3>iCare about You</h3>
<p>See if you can wisk your date&#8217;s iPod away for a day or two as you make the perfect playlist with songs that describe how you feel about them or songs that mean something special to the both of you (Maybe the first song you got down to on the dance floor)</td>
</tr>

<td>
<h3>Become a Photographic Star</h3>
<p>There&#8217;s few who aren&#8217;t a sucker for chocolate. And store bought brownie mix is usually less then $5. Make a list, check it twice (including that you have a pan to cook them in) and go back and ger the oven heated up.</p>
<p>Afterwards you can both share the rewards.</td>

<td>
<h3>Roll the Dice</h3>
<p>Board games are a forgotten great cheap and fun date idea. There&#8217;s lots of great adult board games (not that kind of adult) out there to have you laughing together and get the ice broken on your date.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.frugaldater.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/roastingIcon.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1433" style="border: 0pt none;" title="roastingIcon" src="http://www.frugaldater.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/roastingIcon.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="128" /></a></td>
<td>
<h3>Roast some weenies</h3>
<p>Make fire pit or fire up some charcoal and get a fire going to roast a pack of hotdogs over an open flame.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re crafty enough then you can convert an old broomhandle and an old fork into a roasting spit for a more authentic experience.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-966" style="border: 0px none currentColor;" title="Boots" src="http://www.frugaldater.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/CAT-Boots-128x128.png" alt="Boots" width="128" height="128" /></td>
<td>
<h3>Put your Boots on (and help a cause)</h3>
<p>The spring seasons alway bring a cry for volunteer work. Show how big your heart is by offering to go do some volunteer work side by side with your date.</p>
<p>Offer to sign up to feed the homeless or deliver meals on wheels or pass out t-shirts or drinks at one of the charity runs going on.</td>

<p>The secret to any date is to make a magic moment, something memorable.</p>
<p>With all the snow that&#8217;s come down in the north east in this winter, this presents the perfect opportunity to make one (or more) of those magic moments.</p>
<p>These moments can happen inside or outside and don&#8217;t take credit cards, but you might want to keep your digital camera or cellphone camera handy so that you can share your magic moment with all your facebook fans.</p>

<h3>Chocolate Kisses</h3>
<p>With it being so cold outside then why not make some hot chocolate and snuggle up saving the warmth. Special skills needed? Only the ability to boil water. And if you really want to get creative then you can</td>

<h3>Build a fire</h3>
<p>If your apartment or house is lucky enough to have a fireplace then hopefully you have some wood laying around or have tested your gas connection if you have gas logs. Besides the heat that the fireplace puts out, there&#8217;s the whole romantic mood that the fireplace instantly produces.</td>

<p>Guys, If you&#8217;ve ever seen a girl&#8217;s email box from an online dating site, it&#8217;s usually filled with &#8230; we&#8217;ll put it this way it&#8217;s usually filled.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t even matter if she has a picture or not she&#8217;s getting responses and most are going to look something like this..</p>
<p>How did I take that snapshot? I simply made a fake account on one of the dating sites didn&#8217;t upload any picture and boom the mail just started flowing in. The thing about it is girls don&#8217;t even have to try and they&#8217;ll get their choice.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-989" style="border: 0px none currentColor;" title="Stop" src="http://www.frugaldater.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Stop-128.png" alt="Stop" width="92" height="92" />OkCupid actually did a study of first email responses (<a href="http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/2009/09/14/online-dating-advice-exactly-what-to-say-in-a-first-message/" target="_blank">which you can find here</a>)  especially of things that worked and what didn&#8217;t work and here is some of what they found:</p>
<ul>
<li>Netspeak (or TextSpeak) doesn&#8217;t get responses</li>
<li>Scratch sexy, cute, beautiful, cool, hot from that first message</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t ask them to contact you outside the network on the first email (like on gmail, aol, hotmail, yahoo, or via text message)</li>
<li>These openers go right in the trash (hi, holla, hello, wus up)</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-991" style="border: 0px none currentColor;" title="Ball-go" src="http://www.frugaldater.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Ball-go-128.png" alt="Ball-go" width="92" height="92" />On the opposite side of the coin, here&#8217;s some things that they found that did work:</p>
<ul>
<li>Using words like: awesome, nice, fascinating got good response rates</li>
<li> Pretty works &#8211; but only as an adverb (pretty sure, pretty nice, pretty good)</li>
</ul>

<p>Ever seen this on somebody&#8217;s online profile &#8220;Something other then dinner and a movie&#8221; near their first date section? It&#8217;s almost the trendy think to put near the bottom of your online dating profile these days &#8211; especially on the free dating websites.</p>
<p>Never fear though, we&#8217;ve gathered a list just in time for the cold winter breezes that are blowing through to help you come up with some great cheap ways (after all we&#8217;re all about being frugal and saving money)  to have a memorable and fun date. Most of these make great first date ideas by the way .  Now onto the list:</p>

<h3>Wii Rock!!</h3>
<p>Break out that video game console, especially with games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. These make a great date especially if you&#8217;re meeting a new circle of friends.</td>

<h3>Don&#8217;t leave this one out</h3>

<h3>Lay Your Cards on the Table</h3>
<p>Get a poker game going and invite him or her to play. You&#8217;ll get a good change to see their poker face and to see how good they are at bluffing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been supprised lately on how many women have picked up on the poker craze that has been going around.</td>

<h3>Don&#8217;t be afraid to fall</h3>
<p>This is the time when the outdoor skating rinks (and even frozen ponds up north) are opening up to go ice skating. So make sure that your blades are sharp and make sure that you have a little extra padding on if you&#8217;re prone to fall and go out there.</td>

<h3>Laugh it up in the Warmth</h3>
<p>As we&#8217;ve found in the past here on FrugalDater, there&#8217;s quite a few comedy clubs that offer FREE admission for open mic comedy nights. Or if you want a different kind of chuckle then go watch some of the locals try and show what they got at a local keroke bar. (check our Happy Hour Guide for some locations)</td>

<h3>Play in the Snow</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re in an area that gets more then just a few snowflakes every few years, then zip up your jacket, strap on your scarf and romp around.</p>
<p>Make a snowman, have a snowball fight, it&#8217;s all good fun and will wisk you away back to childhood.</td>

<h3>Put your Boots on (and help a cause)</h3>
<p>The holiday seasons alway bring a cry for volunteer work. Show how big your heart is by offering to go do some volunteer work side by side with your date.</p>
<p>Offer to sign up to feed the homeless or deliver meals on wheels or pass out t-shirts or drinks at one of the charity runs going on.</td>

<p>As a follow up for our FrugalDate alerts for the free and cheap dates, we wanted to provide some idea lists that weren&#8217;t as time relevant for some of the different cities.</p>
<p>We looked around at other lists out there and some of them were mostly for things like picnics, writing love notes, taking a walk, and other stuff that was just super generic.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll start off in Atlanta Georgia. (this isn&#8217;t a top 10 list, we just did a list of 10, you can rank them in the comments below)</p>

<p>So we&#8217;re in the middle of the dog days of summer (although here in the southeast, I&#8217;m finding it a rather mild summer vs last summer). We&#8217;ve found so many free events and freebies that our most popular post (by a looong shot)  has been the schedule of<a href="http://www.frugaldater.com/?p=10" target="_self"> free outdoor movie listings </a>that we were able to compile around the country.</p>
<p>Although some of them have finished their run, a good number of them continue (some even til September) .  That&#8217;s because we&#8217;ve been working on ways to make things even better.</p>
<p>Since we haven&#8217;t found or added any new listings I didn&#8217;t think it would be right to just bump the post back to the front page, however I did want to give it a little exposure to the new visitors that we&#8217;ve been getting so they had an opportunity to look at the list and see if there were free movies still playing around them.</p>
<p>(Note if you haven&#8217;t looked at the list before: The majority of the movies are family oriented, but there are a few cities which have something more entertaining then just the run of the mill Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar 2.</p>
<p>So if you haven&#8217;t yet check out the Free Outdoor movie <a href="http://www.frugaldater.com/?p=10">page and schedule.</a> It might just be the night out that your budget and your sanity needs</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">UPDATED</span></strong> &#8211; 6/13/09 We&#8217;ve now added more cities and movie schedules, so if you didn&#8217;t see your city before you might want to check again.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s plenty of free summertime movie showings all over, now it might not be the latest blockbuster &#8211; but I know plenty of girls and guys that think movies are pretty cliche` for a date. That&#8217;s why you have to put a spin on it, outdoors in the open air and on a blanket &#8211; this is much more social and comes off much better. And the best part is that these come free (and sometimes even with free refreshments).</p>
