When we find someone who we love to spend time with, it really does not matter where we are and what we are doing. The simplest thing becomes the source of immense joy. This is exactly what happens when we are with the love of our life. It is not about where we decide to go with them, the fact that we get to spend some quality time together is good enough to keep our enthusiasm high.

This is one reason why dating and spending time together with our romantic partner becomes one of the greatest joys of life. Well, it is also true that we do not always date at the time we are completely financially independent and have access to a good amount of resources for going on expensive and fancy dates. Also, we may be financially independent but, are facing such a situation in our life that it is at the time not possible for us to take our romantic partner out on luxurious dates that are super fancy or the ones that require us to spend a great amount of cash. No matter what the reason is, such situations are very common and can be faced by any romantic couple in any phase of their life. What is essential to focus on is the fact that if you really love someone deeply and they are important to you, not being able to go out on fancy romantic dates will not prove to be a hindrance to your relationship.

#1. One of the coolest ways of spending time together is by getting out in nature and being with your romantic mate. We all tend to go to cafes and restaurants, which are really nice options. But, the way you feel when you are out in nature, that is a feeling that is real and so emotionally appealing, that any other option cannot replace it. You can choose to go and sit by the waters if you live near the sea. You can choose to go and sit in a park, where the sunrays fall on your face and light up your day. You can take a walk together around the mountains or into the wild, depending on the kind of place you live in. The two of you can go out into that area of your city that is surrounded by trees and a massive amount of greenery; we all do have such spots in our cities. I am sure you will be able to find some such place to escape to.
The best thing about such a place is the fact that nature will always welcome you and not ask for anything in return. So, it is absolutely free of cost and should be at the top of your list, when you wish to romance your mate on a budget. Do not forget to take a picture which will remind you of the way you felt when the two of you were together.

#2. A very out for the box option for the two of you will be, to spend an afternoon together and do a very fun yet emotionally connecting activity. This is a little old school and something that is not really considered by people but at the same time is low on budget and will surely connect the two of you emotionally. All you will need to do is to take an afternoon off and schedule that afternoon to spend time together. Choose to be at your place or your partners, but make sure the two of you have complete privacy.
What you are going to do is write down your feelings for each other. Take a good amount of time, make sure the two of you write things as much in detail as possible. There are a lot of things that we all feel for our romantic mates when we are together and also when they are away from us, but often they remain suppressed in our hearts itself. This is the perfect opportunity to reveal them in detail to your partner. This is when they and you will get to know of those aspects of each other’s emotions that may help to take your relationship to the next level and make it stronger.
Make sure you make the day full of fun and memorable. Also infuse some creativity by making use of your art skills, decorate the messages or write them down on decorative cards. Remember to make it more special by, mentioning all those special moments you two have spent together.

#3. Another thing you can do together is to go out and eat at those joints that offer delicious yet reasonable local food. Irrespective of where we live, every city has some or the other place that offers great local food, and they are priced very low. These are great options for people who are looking for reasons to spend time together. Eating food together is a very good way to bond with each other and if you are doing it with your romantic mate, keep in mind sharing food makes the person special and will surely bring the two of you very close.
Another benefit of eating such food together is the fact that you are not bound to eat it in the restaurant itself, you can choose to take the food and go to some special romantic spot around the city and share the food there. Many, of these food joints, stalls or food trucks are often located on the streets and by such areas where you can sit and enjoy your food, and it will charge you nothing. This is one of those within the budget option that you can avail, irrespective of what stage of life you are in.

#4. Stay indoors and customize your date. This is one of those options that will give you the opportunity to do things the two of you love, exactly the way you both love it, and yet all of it is within the budget. Since you are at home you will not need to pay anything, in other cases, you would have to pay the café or restaurant. Now, you also get all the privacy that you will not be able to avail in case you are out in a public place. You can customize it the way you want to, make a meal that comprises of those dishes you both like. Making food at home is less expensive, and the process of cooking together will bring you closer to each other. A great way to vibe with one another, to know each other better and do all of this within a budget is nothing short of a boon.
#5. Another great way of spending some romantic time together when the two of you will get to make the relationship stronger and come closer to each other is doing a dreaming out aloud session together. Yes, that might sound new, but, it is going to be the best thing for those people who are planning to take their relationship to the next level, those who are newly married and also those people who wish to regain the love back in their relationships.
What dreaming out loud means is sitting together and revealing your future plans and simply what you wish to make your future look like with the person you wish to spend your future with. If you have certain specific goals and wishes related to travel and experiences that you would like to have, this is the right time to say it out loud to each other.
There are many things we plan to do in the future and are a part of our dreams and wishes. Sometimes these are very close to our heart. If you are planning to be together in the future, it is very crucial that the two of you are aware of the kind of dreams you wish to have for the future. You can also come up with those dreams and aspirations that are similar between the two of you.
Why this can prove to be helpful for all those people who are wishing to infuse love and emotion back into their relationships is because you will get to know how the dreams and aspirations of your partner have changed over the years. This can be the opportunity to know your partner all over again.

#6. You can choose to work out together, or do any fitness related activities together. This will not require you to spend any cash and is a great opportunity to romance your partner. This may not be a very popular option, for the only reason that people are not aware of the kind of fun you can infuse into your life when you work out with your partner. When you compete with each other about the number of push-ups the two of you can accomplish and who does it better, when the two of you try out couple yoga and when the two of you run together only to end up keeping scores of who runs the fastest, it sure can get all very romantic.
When you choose this option, you not only get to romance within the budget but, you are also making sure that you take good care of your health. The benefits of exercising on a regular basis are huge; it will always help you to continue to maintain having a fit and healthy body. So, you are getting to experience two benefits and do not need to spend a single penny for it.
The best options can be doing yoga practices at home, going for a run, doing a fitness routine at home and even following a fitness video online and doing the exercises.

Yes it is very true that sometimes it is very difficult for us to be able to go on expensive dates. It is a very amazing thing when you get to go out on dates that are exotic and make you feel special, but this is something you cannot continue to on a regular basis. There are various reasons why you cannot continue to always spend time going on expensive outings. But, what remains constant is the fact that we all will want to spend most of our time with the person we love the most. What I have realized along my journey is the fact that it does not matter how you choose to spend the time together, you both will realize that being together is enough sometimes. As your relationship grows you will know what it means to be together with the love of your life.
Each couple who have been together is very clear about the idea that the emotional value of just talking to your romantic partner and taking a walk with them is much more that any fancy café or restaurant outing. Basically, you will not get the time to regret not going out on expensive dates, if you really love your partner, it will not be about the place, it will be about how you feel together.
It is true that we all love these exotic dates we get to go for, but, at the end of the day it is the emotional bonding that matters and not where your partner chooses to take you. This does not rule out the fact that it is very much nice to be able to afford exotic romantic dates. At the end of the day there are small things in life that matter; these small joys are of true importance.
