How to Not Let low-funds interrupt your romantic journey.
Even though we often feel the need to spend a lot of money on first dates, a bigger personality will leave more an impact than a bigger bill. If you’re low on cash, or simply do not want to let your date know about your finances– a creative inexpensive first date may be in order.
Crossing out anything that costs money upon entrance and eating out may seem intimidating, but in the end, you can show off your innovative thinking, unique interests, and your openness to new experiences. Every city holds events in public spaces that can be explored. Start by viewing your town as a tourist would. Consider checking out a tourist book to give you a new path through the city you may never have thought of. Parks, libraries, or even city buildings with beautiful architecture can provide enough for you and your date to engage with.
You can take advantage of museums that often have a day every month when you can go for free or gallery walks with free wine and cheese!. Check your local newspaper for free events. Your date will appreciate doing something different and cultural, instead of just seeing the latest movie.
When all else fails, look around your home, and kitchen, and use what you’ve already got. Try creating your own scavenger hunt that will take you and your date around to interesting areas. A spontaneous picnic on the grass, or a midnight game of truth-or-dare poker with your own rules will show that you are never bored, and thus never boring.
Any and all of these ideas cost little to no money, and yet will show off your creative and spontaneous side. If the chemistry is off, you will still have new surroundings or an interesting subject with which to engage. If you two hit it off, then there is no pressure to enjoy the expensive background, and leaves plenty of space for the date to become more intimate. Either way, ‘no money’ does not have to mean ‘no fun’.

“We met on Zoosk. We were talking for awhile and we had our first date on August 18, 2011. We both live in Las Vegas and find it hard to meet good people out here. He is the love of my life and we were made for each other. My whole family adores him and I know he will be the man I marry. “
Congratulations, Donovan and Lynessa, sounds like you’ve both hit the jackpot on Zoosk! We love your story.

“A week after I set up my profile on Zoosk I came across my now boyfriend’s profile and sent him a wink and we start talking from there. On our first date it was apparent we were soul mates even the lady at the table next to us commented on what a great couple we made and took our picture. After we talked about our lives we discovered we had been in close proximity most of our lives including living right across the street at one point but never met or saw one another. Thanks Zoosk for making it possible!”
This love song and romantic music video was inspired by a true love story, of a couple whose paths crossed for the first time on Zoosk, despite being neighbors on the same street! Now that’s what we call serendipity.

“Hi, I met the man of my dreams here on Zoosk within the first day of signing up. We had both signed up on the same day. We chatted for a while and decided to meet the next day for a coffee. We enjoyed each others company for about three hours. We both found each other very interesting and we have fallen in love. I’m looking forward to a long future with Sam. Thank you, Suzanne.” –Suzanne & Sam from Cambridge, Ontario
