so... adam and i are both po' so this afternoon i googled 'free dates' and was led to
coolestdates.com. they do have a section for free dates. let me post their suggestions for everyone's enjoyment!
Free Dates (for Ages 25-29)
Go for a bike ride, either in your community or take a trail ride with mountain bikes. Take water and snacks, and take time to rest and talk. Enjoy the journey, rather than focusing on a destination.
Make a couple of pans of brownies. Then drive to various friends' houses and deliver a small plate of brownies to each friend and visit for a while. When it becomes too late to be visiting people, go home and finish off the brownies.
Baby-sit for a young couple so they can have a night out alone. Prepare a few games to play with the kids.
Go to the park and feed the birds. Take a bag of bread. Share childhood memories.
On a sunny Saturday morning, travel around the countryside and photograph special sites and serene scenery.
Go to a free concert in mall, school, church, or civic center. Check your local paper's entertainment section.
Go for a walk together either in a crowded city or alone in the country.
Go to a local animal shelter and play with the animals. Maybe you'll find a new friend together!
Find a muddy area, dress in your grubbies and have a mud fight. For groups, take along a rope for a tug-of-war. You might bring towels or sheets to put on the car seats for the ride back home.
Locate a large piece of cardboard. This can be found at a nearby furniture or appliance store. Curve the end up like a toboggan. Find a sloping hill of dry grass and slide down. Wear older clothes (grass stains can ruin nice clothes).
Want to perform a unique deed for someone? Go to a self-serve gas station and do all the work for the surprised customers. Make sure to get permission from the gas station attendant first.
Attend church functions together. Dances, discussion groups, and church meetings really help couples grow closer to each other.
Ask for help with your homework, delivering a note worded in the vocabulary unique to that subject (it might make sense to make sure he/she knows the subject).
