Fed up with the depressing headlines on the Euro crisis and American budget balancing problems? Dating can be a great antidote to the negativity. The good news is credit crunch or no credit crunch you can have great dates on a budget. Remember safety is imperative so some of these suggestions are not suitable for first time meetings. Initial dates should always be in a safe and public place.
1) Nature is Free!
Parks can be some of the most romantic settings. Whether you just want to go for a stroll or feed the ducks in the lake, a public park can make the perfect environment. If it’s your first date it can also be a bit less intimidating as the range of activity means awkward silences while struggling for platitudes over the dinner table can be avoided.
2) Prepare a Picnic
We have all been to places where an ice-cream can cost more than a three course meal at home so why not go prepared? If you are spending the day with your date then sandwiches and snacks can be the perfect alternative to breaking your bank overdraft. Of course, if your date prefers fine dining and you prefer a ham roll picnic then maybe that’s already a pretty good sign you’re just not compatible.
3) Museums on a Rainy Day
Museums, art galleries and antique fairs can make the perfect budget date when rain clouds rule out outdoor pursuits. Besides, if you know that your prospective partner has a fascination for these activities then what better way to impress. These venues present stimulating conversational topics that can make a first date fun rather than fraught. If the sun peeps out then street markets and a guided tour around your local town can give you and your date a memorable day.
4) All the Fun of the Fair
Browse your local paper or search online for community festivals and fairs. Entrance fees are often free or of nominal cost. Laughter is the perfect way to get to know each other on a first date. Show your lighter side as you try to throw the hoops around the cuddly toys and win a prize for your date. If you are an adrenalin junkie then check your partner shares you love of being thrown upside down on an 80 mph helter-skelter ride before booking tickets!
5) Visit an Auction House
These can be very entertaining places although not ideal for a first meeting as conversation is restricted. Just watching the skill of the auctioneer at work and the array of fascinating objects up for sale is an ideal way to spend fun time with a prospective loved one. Just remember that the whole purpose is to keep in budget so try not to twitch too much when the 14th Century Ming vase comes up for sale!
6) Volunteer and Go Green
No, not green with envy we are talking green dating! Or if you are both environmentally minded then join together by participating in the countless green projects that need volunteers. Get to know each other and simultaneously save the planet. Dating doesn’t have to be selfish or expensive; relationships can prosper by joining together to give a helping hand to the less fortunate.
7) Date at Home
An evening in doesn’t have to be dull. Draw the curtains, get the popcorn in and watch that DVD you have both been longing to see in your very own movie house. Try some cooking together and check the veracity of the saying the key to a man’s (or woman’s) heart is through the stomach. If the sun is shining then why not prepare a barbeque in the garden?
Quiz Nights
Many pubs and clubs often have fun quiz nights where you can take your date along and impress with you knowledge of trivia. For the price of a drink and a small entry fee it’s a low cost way to have a fun-filled evening. This is not recommended if you are likely to answer ‘goosey goosey’ when quizzed on Gandhi’s first name!
9) The Best Dates in Life are Free
Yes it’s a variation of the old cliché but true nonetheless. A walk in an area of outstanding beauty can be a fitting environment to help make romance blossom. If you have chosen someone from an online dating site it’s quite likely they will have shared hobbies. Going biking, walking or rollerblading together can highlight your compatibility without costing the earth.

Finally! A Step-By-Step Guide On How To Get A Girlfriend!
It’s the age old question – “How Do I Get A Girlfriend?”
Since the beginning of time, it seems like men have struggled with how to get a girlfriend. In the olden days, it was enough to just club the girl you liked over the head and drag her back to your cave. Alas, things are not that simple anymore.
Nowadays, women have CHOICE in who they date and who they get into relationships with. And because of that, it all comes down to convincing them YOU are the best choice.
Obviously, this is easier said than done.
In a recent study, it was found that 90% of relationships are ended by the woman. And you don’t need a study to tell you that if a woman doesn’t like you to begin with, you’ll NEVER be in a romantic relationship with her.
So what’s a guy to do?
Look, there is a LOT of BAD ADVICE out there on the subject of getting a girlfriend. Depending on who you talk to, you hear stuff like…
“You got to be a jerk! Women love guys who treat them badly.” “Buy her flowers. Women like a guy who spends lots of money on them.” “Just be yourself. She’ll come around eventually.” “Become friends first. THEN ask her out!” “Get plastic surgery so you can look like Brad Pitt.”
Now, obviously all of the above is bad advice for a guy to follow. (And if it isn’t obvious to you, welcome to the real world, my friend.) Here’s the facts:
Most Guys Never Learn How To Properly Attract A Woman!
So they spend all their time and energy doing things that simply won’t work, and enduring endless rejection because of it.
In this article, we are going to focus on all the tips and tricks guys can use to get a girlfriend. This will truly be your How To Get A Girlfriend Guide!
So read on, my friend. What you’re about to discover will no doubt shock you!
How To Get A Girlfriend Step 1: Look Good
You Don’t Have To Be Good Looking, But You Do Have To Look Your Best!
Let’s face it – modern society is OBSESSED with looks. People nearly kill themselves every year trying to look like a supermodel.
The cold hard truth is – most of us are not Brad Pitt good looking.
Some of us are short, or fat, or bald, or old, or have big noses and big ears.
But regardless – EVERYONE has something about themselves they are unhappy with.
But here’s a secret…
LOOKS AREN’T AS IMPORTANT TO WOMEN AS THEY ARE TO MEN!
See, men place a great deal of importance on a woman’s looks because we are reactive and logical creatures by nature.
However, women are more EMOTIONAL. They place a bigger emphasis on how a potential mate makes them FEEL rather than how that mate might look.
Now, that’s not to say women won’t be turned on by attractive men. But it does mean that women qualify attraction in a different way than men do. (This is something most men don’t realize.)
When you ask a woman what she finds attractive in men, she will always respond with a personality trait of some kind.
Answers like “Confidence,” “Sense of Humor,” “Intelligence,” etc., are not uncommon. Typically, looks comes in 3rd or 4th when asking what they look for in a potential boyfriend.
So the first step is to stop worrying over the fact that you’re not male-model good looking. You really need to focus on how you interact with women instead of trying to look like someone you’re not.
(We’ll get into this more in a bit.)
But you SHOULD try and look as good as you can. this means bathing regularly, grooming yourself, wearing nice clothes that fit, and probably most important from a female perspective – you have a good pair of shoes!
When you put your best foot forward and look as good as you possible can, you chances of attracting the woman you like go way up!
Now, there are some things you can’t change, like your height, or your weight, or how much hair you have.
But the things you can’t change you have to figure out how to work around them. (More on this in a bit.)
Now that we look as good as possible, let’s discuss the next step…
How To Get A Girlfriend Step 2: Take The Lead!
Men Who Act Always Get The Girl. It’s The Wallflowers Who Die Alone.
Many guys have a romantic notion that a girl they like will be the one to ask THEM out.
I blame the 80′s for this.
The whole “women’s lib” thing about wanting “sensitive men who can cry” and girls who can ask guys out on dates really messed up a whole generation of young boys.
Let me be frank: Waiting for a girl to ask YOU out is like waiting for Goddot. It just ain’t ever gonna happen!
As a man, women look to YOU to ask THEM out. If you think about it, why wouldn’t they? Asking someone out SUCKS!
Why?
Because when you do this, you open yourself up for REJECTION.
But you know what? It has to be done. (Now, there are ways to dramatically minimize your chances of getting rejected which I share in my book, but we don’t have time to go into them here.)
But if you don’t take the opportunity to ACT, chances are you won’t get what you want.
Remember the words of Alexander The Great: “Fortune Favors The Bold.”
This means that good things happens to those who take the risk to achieve them.
YOU must take the risk on asking the question “Hey, you want to go out sometime?”
If you don’t, I can guarantee you, you will never get that girl to date you.
How To Get A Girlfriend Step 3: Be Honest!
]]>
The Worst Thing A Guy Can Do Is Lie To A Woman About The Way He Feels
Have you ever liked a girl you pretended NOT to like? Maybe she even asked you “Do you like me?” and you said “No.”
And then, when you DID finally tell her how you really felt, she responded with the dreaded “Let’s just be friends,” line?
You want to know why this happened?
Because you were not HONEST with her about the way you felt.
See, people in general do not like change. Once they are used to something one way, they do not want to see it in a different way.
This is why being “friends” first is so dangerous to beginning a relationship.
Once you are in the “friends” category, its hard for a girl to see you as anything else (unless she was always attracted to you, but then you were never her “friend” anyway, right?)
So lying about your true feelings will create a relationship based around a “lie.” Which is why the girl will freak out when you finally reveal the truth about your feelings for her.
To avoid this, be up front about your intentions. If you like a girl, don’t hide it!
I know this can be embarrassing and possibly open you up to rejection or ridicule, but you know what? people RESPECT men who aren’t afraid to show their true intentions.
And if you do this right, you will NEVER get rejected.
How?
Because if you make your intentions known, and you see the woman respond well to it, you’re already in! And if she doesn’t respond well, you back off.
Easy as that.
But know this: Never be ashamed of your desires as a man. Always be honest with your intentions and don’t try to hide them. Women will know when you like them, whether you want them to or not, and trying to hide it just sabotages your own chances.
TV and movies like to tell us that guys are the “goofballs” when it comes to getting women. But this really isn’t true. Guys become goofballs by watching TV and movies that teach that.
REAL men, the men who get any girl they want, are always very up-front about what they desire, and they do not back down from it. They may give up and move on, but they will never be ashamed for wanting it in the first place.
This is how you must be.
How To Get A Girlfriend Step 4: Be Confident, Not A Jerk!
Believe It Or Not, Women Really Want Nice Guys!
I know there are a lot of people out there who see “Jerks” as the guys who get all the girls.
Well, this might be true, but it is also very MISLEADING!
Look at how a jerk operates…
A Jerk is self centered, so he pursues that which will pleasure him without regard to what other people think about him.
THIS is how he gets the girls. He doesn’t care if they reject him. He doesn’t care if people make fun of him. He just wants to score,a nd he won’t stop until he achieves that.
Because of this, jerks will walk around and actually MEET women. They’ll talk to them. Charm them. Pressure them. Trick them. Lie to them. Whatever they have to do to get her, they will do it – because they want THEIR OWN needs taken care of.
In the meantime, the nice guy sits in the corner too nervous to talk to anyone. So he goes home alone.
Look – if you want a girlfriend, you need to be a CONFIDENT guy.
Now, there are a lot of definitions of what “confident” means. But I’ll tell you mine…
Being confident means LOVING who you are. it’s about silencing the inner critic, and practicing positive outcomes in your mind.
If you were to walk up to girls, talk to them, interact with them, and have fun, I GUARANTEE you, you will outscore a jerk any day of the week.
And you know what? You’ll get more repeat visits from the women you meet than the jerk does, that’s for certain! And, your chances of finding a great relationship is also much better than the jerk’s.
If you can stop criticizing yourself in your mind, if you can stop imagining all the bad things that could happen, if you could learn to love who you are and enjoy the company other people bring – you can be confident enough to get a great woman.
And the #1 thing women are attracted to is – CONFIDENCE! Just
