Just because you have no money doesn't mean you can't show someone a great time.

Step 1: Figure out budget
Figure out what your budget is. Five dollars? Ten dollars? Nothing?

Step 2: Check the paper
Check local papers for free or low-cost events like community theater and dance productions, art openings, and festivals.

Tip
In some communities, you can volunteer to work as an usher at the local theater in exchange for free passes.

Step 3: Check bookstores
See which bookstores in your area offer readings, lectures, and/or live bands that you can enjoy while having a coffee and pastry.

Tip
Look online for dozens of event listings in your hometown.

Step 4: Call museums
Call local museums for current and upcoming exhibits.

Tip
Many museums offer a reduced-price or free day during the week.

Step 5: Make it charitable
Make it a charitable date: Take part in a fundraising walk/run or bike ride; join a local park clean-up effort; or help out at an animal shelter.

Step 6: Make dinner
Make a romantic dinner at home using ingredients that are on sale at your supermarket.

Tip
Make dinner preparation part of the date by going apple or berry picking, or by picking up a bottle of wine during a winery tour or tasting.

Step 7: Think nature
Think nature. Prepare a picnic, go to a park or lake, plan a hike or bike ride, or visit a zoo or aquarium.

Step 8: Check for BYOB
Check local listings for bring-your-own-bottle restaurants.

Step 9: Crash a wedding
When all else fails, take a cue from Wedding Crashers--put on formal clothes, go to one of those reception places than run a half dozen large weddings at a time, and hit all the cocktail hours.
