Sometimes cash is hard to come by. But not having dough is no reason not to knock her socks off the next time you ask her out. H.U.S.H. is here to help you come up with an awesome time out on the tightest of budgets.

• Personal Drive-In Movie Theater: It’s like going on a date through time. Drives in movie theaters are a classic when it comes to the American teenage dating scene (past) but you’ll be using a laptop or portable DVD player or something of the sort to watch it (future). Just jump into the backseat and bring a movie you think you’ll both enjoy.
  • Remember… snacks… to charge the battery to whatever device you’re watching on… two kids hanging out in the back of a car looks a little sketchy.
• Miniature Golf: Tiger Woods hooked up with a lot of women, right? Obviously it was his put that lured them in. Now it’s your turn. Mini golf provides just enough activity to fill in the awkward gaps in conversation that dates early in a relationship are bound to have. One round lasts a while considering the cost, just keep the competition friendly.
  • Push Your Luck: Make a wager on what the winner gets. Easy way to score a kiss if your swing is spectacular.
• “Shopping”: Do you have a mom? a sister? a female friend? Does she have a birthday? an anniversary? any reason whatsoever to receive a gift? Then you’ve got an awesome afternoon ahead of you to spend with a girl you’ve been crushing on. Now you get to take her shopping without spending lots of money on her. You get to poke around some local shops getting her expert opinion on whatever it is you’re looking for.
  • Shop ‘til you stop: When she tries something on, stop, really take her in, and tell her she looks beautiful.
• Destination Picnic: At H.U.S.H. you’ve already learned what makes a picnic the ideal cheap date to take. Now it’s time to take it to the road. Rather than just showing up and rolling out your blanket, make the date more about the journey than the destination. Whether the two of you hike there, bike there, or just take a long leisurely walk, when you finally arrive kicking back end enjoying some cheap eats will make the meal even more enjoyable.
  • Lookout! Try to find somewhere with a good view. Something interesting to look at makes the silence between you romantic rather than a bad sign.
• Personal Fireworks Show: Leave the kind of explosives that can blow someone’s thumb off for when you’re with your buddies. Find a handful of inexpensive things that shimmer and sparkle. Take them to a beach, a secluded field or parking lot and light them off. You two will feel adventurous for doing something bad. The lights in the night will be colorfully romantic. And who doesn’t like fireworks?
  • Share. Make sure to let her have a try at lighting them off. Yes this let’s her feel included but it also gives you a patsy if the police show up.
