Grab the popcorn and a film:

Who says you need to go out in order to call it a date? With sites such as LoveFilm and Netflicks it is now easier than ever to watch any film to suit the mood. And watching a film at home, rather than at the cinema not only saves money but will also make you feel more relaxed and the day less like a date. This will help you both feel more at ease and you'll both be able to act yourself around each other. And a cuddle on the coach is much better than an awkward cuddle in the cinema.

Have a picnic in the park:

With summer approaching it's the perfect time to grab a hamper, pack some sandwiches, grab your date and stroll down to the park. Not only will you be able to work on your tan but you'll also be on a cute date for a tiny fee of the food. And why not take a frisbee and show your date how fun you can be.

Go to the beach:

Sun, sea and sand should be at the top of everyone's summer list and it is also a great place to go on a date. Enjoy the hot weather, build some sandcastles and flirt by the sea, the beach is the perfect place to have a hot date. And once it begins to cool down, take a stroll on the pier and watch the sunset to add a bit of romance to your evening.

Visit a museum:

Cook a meal together:

A classic date is usually a trip to a restraunt, however they can be expensive and often unhealthy. Cooking a meal together can help you bond and a little flirtaious cooking never hurts.
