9 Fun and Free Date Ideas for a Nice Summer Day ...

1. Barbecuing Cuties

As long as you have some food in your fridge and a barbecue in the backyard, you can cook yourselves a delicious meal. One of the free date ideas you should try this summer is whipping together dinner while outside. You'll get to spend time together, and eat a delectable meal. What more could you want?

2. Be Beach Bums

There's plenty to do at the beach, so you'll never be bored. You can swim through the ocean, play a game of volleyball, create a sandcastle, search for shells, or just relax. The list goes on and on. Just make sure you lather on sunscreen, because you don't want your day of fun to end in a night of pain.

3. Baseball Babes

You don't have to pay for tickets to a major league game. You can go to a free game at your high school or college, or even watch your little cousin's game. It doesn't matter how high the stakes are. All that matters is that you're being entertained and having a fun time.

4. Pick a Picnic Spot

Grab a few sandwiches and go for a walk until you find the perfect spot for a picnic. You probably eat dinner with your significant other all the time, but it'll feel different when you're in the outdoors.

5. Relaxing Bike Rides

There's nothing wrong with a little exercise. If you and your partner have nothing to do, hop on your bikes and explore the neighborhood. If you're in a serious relationship, you can comment on the houses you see, and discuss what you'd like your home to look like.

6. Local Concerts

Check your newspaper to see what events are happening nearby. In the summer, there are plenty of free concerts, fairs, and other places you can go to without worrying about spending any cash.

7. Mushy, Roasted Marshmallows

If you have a fire pit or know how to safely create a campfire, break out some marshmallows and roast them. The sound of the crackling fire will create a romantic atmosphere that you won't forget.

8. Sitting on Park Swings

Find a park, simply to sit on the swings. Of course, it's best to go when there are no little children around to bug you for their swing set back. If you go when it's empty, you'll be able to share a nice, peaceful night.

9. Sunrise or Stars

If you're a morning person, wake up bright and early to catch the sunrise. If you're a night owl, stay up until you can see the stars in the sky. Either way, you're admiring the beauty of the universe.

Expensive dates aren't necessarily the best dates. There are plenty of activities you can do that cost nothing, but will result in fun times! Have you gone on any exciting dates that didn't cost either of you a dime?
