museums are always cool.....sometimes, they even have celebrations where the museum will be open super late, or even all night....
taking a class together would be cool....there are sometimes free classes being offered at different places (like at a place near here, there was a salmon grilling class).
matinee movies, or $1 theater.....(take your own yummies!)
the zoo is sometimes under $10
botanical gardens
is putt putt cheap? miniature golf can be fun....
concerts...
dancing doesn't have to be expensive (eat dinner at home before you go.....make it a deal that you won't drink, if you do normally). you can even take dance lessons (not a cheap date, i know) and then go out once a week dancing......i know i'm planning to take singles lessons here pretty soon, it was one of the things i really regreted not doing with my ex (lessons).
car shows (boat shows, bike shows, even a dog or cat show! etc) can be really cool.....i don't know the first thing about cars, but, i love the shows.....
karaoke can be fun if you like it....and, you can always look for $25 longneck or $1 drink nights, if you drink.just a couple drinks and some funny singing....
wine tasting things are usually free or inexpensive
and, that's all i can think of right now....but, go online and look up local stuff. i know i found a site or a page on a site where it had cheap dates in dallas, and, they would have all the special events going on....it was awesome, i visited all the time!
Have fun!
