Creative dating ideas: fun and cheap
There are a lot of ideas for dating that are not expensive and yet they are fun, you just have to be creative. Here are a few silly ideas for fun dates. Just make sure both you and your date are daring enough to try them! 
One of the best fun things to do when you pick up your date is let them choose what you are going to do that night with a guessing game. This takes preparation in advance. You will go and take pictures of different places for picnics, walks, eating, or theaters, games to play or sports events before the date. Get the pictures developed and place the them in individually sealed envelopes. When you pick your date up let them choose an envelope. Whatever the picture is, you go and do together. You can let your date open additional envelopes through out the evening that will tell you what you are going to do next.
Be Creative
When it comes to dating the secret is to get creative! Do not do what everybody else has done before. Think of something new and memorable.
Here is a list of some fun dating ideas that will surely be a change from the usual boring dates.
1. Fast Food Restaurant Scavenger Hunt. This is just one of the best fun date ideas involving 2 or more partners. You prepare scavenger hunt lists of things you can get at fast food restaurants such as; spoons, straws, ice, cups, ketchup packages, French fries, salt packages, buns, lettuce, children’s meal bag or toy, etc. The couples must go to different fast food restaurants and ask the establishment to donate the items for a scavenger hunt game. Then meet at a designated time at one of the fast food places, see which couple collected the most stuff and losers buy dinner! 
2. Go to a Fair (Dodgems are always a great laugh!)
3. Watch all 3 Lord of the Rings films. Back to back.
4. Give each other a haircut – this really demonstrates trust!
5. Visit a giant market. Pick up bargains!
6. Try something spontaneous - Pick a nearby town neither of you have been to before and go explore it to see what you find. Or put a bunch of restaurant names in a hat and pick one. Spontaneous dates are probably not good for the first date, but can be fun if you have been going out for awhile.
Hopefully, some of these ideas made you come up with some of your own.
Remember be creative and have fun!
