If both of you are independently into that sort of thing, go for it! ONLY if you’re both about it because hiking can be a lot, okay.

Find a safe trail that’s easily accessible for the two of you, pack some refreshments like orange slices or snack bars and water, and head on up that trail. It will make for an exciting budget-friendly date

2. Volunteer Together

It’s also a little bit cute and heart-warming to see your person interested in doing their bit. Maybe you turn this into a regular habit that you do together.

3. Take a Drive

Just drive. Hey. Hit the ol’ open road and see where that takes you. Don’t go off too far and end up in a back-road where no one goes.

You can even hit the road without a car and just take a romantic stroll. Let the sunrise/sunset provide the perfect backdrop for you two lovebirds.

4. Do a Puzzle
