Some ways to get out?

[Mapik]

My fiancee and I enjoy getting out of the house when we have time, but it's usually in the evening, and not much to do. We also try to spend as little money as possible as we can, due to the upcoming wedding.
Here's a list of somethings we do when we get a chance:
-Go to the movies (cheap seats if there's a good movie playing)
-Dinner
-Bike ride, walk, roller blading
-Walk in the gardens, then sit and read some scripture.
-Games with friends

Well, those are some, but we just do them so often....so post some things that you enjoy doing. With friends, by yourself, you significant other, and so on. Just list some good things to do.

My boyfriend and I enjoy going to the movies a lot. We also tend to go to the mall and window shop, as mentioned above, or Wal-Mart, where we're bound to meet someone we know to stop and chat with. We also like to go to Books-a-Million and Circuit City. Let's see...sometimes we go bowling, to an arcade, or to play mini golf. We have been to some concerts together before, as well as a local dance school's recital. And then we have our nights where we just hang out at the house and watch a movie or play on the computer together!

Window shopping can be fun, especially at the holidays, when all the lights and decorations are up. Flea markets can be a lot of fun, too.

Check the paper every week for local festivals - they usually have cheap or free entertainment, food, games. (We've got some fabulous ones centered around chili peppers in Texas!)

Take up a new hobby together - just pick one that doesn't require expensive supplies!

Do some volunteer work together - not only can it be fun, but you will learn a lot more about each other!

That's a great idea, my bf and I used to do this some, and I really enjoyed it!

Book store. Bookstores like Chapters here in Canada don't mind if you go in and read their books and magazines even if you don't buy them, in fact its pretty much encouraged by all the chairs and such around heh.

Working in such a bookstore part time, I certainly endorse the idea. However, my g/f and I have only been to my shop once with me just being a customer and not an employee

One fun activity, as Lynz alluded to, is any sort of novelty sport activity like putt-putt golf. I introduced my g/f to what we call aquagolf - you hit a golf ball at different targets in the middle of a big lake (or in my case, try and hit the ball over the lake ). Even if you can hardly swing a golf club to save yourself, there's heaps of fun to be had

heck go to stores and walk around and look at everything. that's what me and my gf do sometimes. we love target!

Here's what we do:

Putt putt golf (you can usually get coupons that give you so much off)
Going to malls in different cities to look around
Going to Barnes and Noble or Half Price Books and browsing books together
Go to Petsmart and look at the kittens or the dogs/pets people bring with them
Playing video games together
Coloring (yah, we bought a coloring book and it's actually really fun to color pictures for one another!)
Going to the $2 movie theater (some cities have $1 or 1.50 movie theaters)
Go to church together then go split something at IHOP
Swing Dancing (we went to a local place that only charges $4 each for lessons and to stay for the dance afterwards)
Working out together
Renting a movie and making dinner together (there are many cheap meals you can make together)
Bowling
Visiting friends and our grandparents for an afternoon

Hope those give you some ideas!

Me, maybe I am sad. I don't care what we do. So long as I am with her. She laughed and told her mom; "He'll pay 25 dollars for each of us to go to a dance show, and he'll just sit there and watch me all the time! I'm the show, and the dance is just the setting"

It's true. I can't get my eyes off of her.
I love taking her out though. I prefer that to remaining at home, or watch a movie with her. While that is great.
Walk around malls going window shopping
Look at buildings
Stroll through parks
Go to a dance show (hehe)
Go do paintballing
Gocarting
anything, so long as I can be with her.
