We\u2019ve come up with 8 date ideas that\u2019ll fill your Feb. 14<sup>th<\/sup> with savings, love and fabulousness!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Get outdoors:<\/strong> Mid-winter is a blah time of year. It\u2019s tempting to stay inside and just be lazy. While that\u2019s a good idea sometimes, it\u2019s refreshing (and healthy) to get out and be active, too. Visit a local ice rink for a fun and free date idea. Plus, you\u2019ll feel extra cozy cuddling up after a long day of outdoor fun together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be a tourist in your own city<\/strong>: Find the cheesiest tourist activity in your area that you\u2019ve both never done or haven\u2019t done in a long time and have a blast doing it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go for a walk:<\/strong> Explore your city, small town, suburb\u2026wherever you are! Discover places you\u2019ve never been to learn a little more about the place you and your Valentine call home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheap, spontaneous travel:<\/strong> Go to the airport and find the cheapest, soonest departing flight to whatever destination available. Stay there for a couple days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check out the local music scene: <\/strong>Many bars and pubs host amateur nights where local musicians can take a stab at playing in public. Vote for your favorites and even strike a conversation with the band you liked best after the show.<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Take a class: <\/strong>Join a class just for the day. Try salsa dancing, yoga or pottery making\u2026whatever sounds fun to both of you. It\u2019s usually pretty cheap for one class, and who knows: maybe you\u2019ll both end up really enjoying it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Karaoke<\/strong>: Sing you heart out at a local karaoke bar together. Pick the cheesiest duets and don\u2019t worry what you sound like. Just have fun!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poker night<\/strong>: Start a two-person poker tournament. But, don\u2019t play for money. Make it fun! Try truth or dare poker or bet on items of clothing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>How do you plan on spending your Valentine\u2019s Day?
