The Richest Romance 

We all know dating can be expensive these days...especially for you guys out there! From dinner dates to cruises, some pockets just aren’t big enough for all those dollars. Even though us girls love to wine and dine, we are more than fascinated to see how creative you can be.  Some of the most inexpensive and unexpected things you do, will sweep us off our feet. Are you and your man up for the challenge?

Here are a few suggestions for those who need some help thinking outside the lines of the typical “dinner and a movie” date. These eco-friendly tips will save you cash and could even help you introduce your partner to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Light some candles. Cut your electric bill and save some energy in a romantic setting.

Take a bath together. Add some natural aroma therapies to heighten the mood.

Have a picnic in the park. Pack a lunch and two wine glasses. Cheers to the scenery surrounding you.

Write a love note. Even the simplest things can be the most special, use recycled scraps.

Go for a bike ride. Exercising produces natural endorphins, boosting your mood.

Go for a coffee date. Brew a pot of organic coffee and take her to the park where you can chat and enjoy the people watching.

Sing a song for her. There’s nothing sexier than listening to your guy sing. We know there are a lot of you out there. We want to hear you!

Pick a flower. On your way home from work pick one flower from the bunch.

Gaze at the stars. You can enjoy nature at night too, in a mysterious and sexy way.

Why overuse the same suggestions for a date? You can save energy and money while being spontaneous and fabulous. I guarantee you, the love note you leave for her in the morning will make her fantasize about you all day long!
