I think what all women would love is an at-home spa night with their spouse; I've heard so many say so and I'd definitely want my partner to do it with me. It's literally the cheapest date and it can be so romantic. First, you need drinks. Champagne, margaritas, whatever you're vibing. Then you need the classic "green stuff"--there's so many face masks out there in all different colors and smells it can be a little confusing. I prefer mud masks. Look for Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque. This is legit "the green stuff" and it's my all-time favorite because it's such a classic...it's green, it's a mud mask, it smells and feels amazing, and it brings back so many memories. This is what it looks like:

So while you have the face masque you might want to listen to music, swap stories or quiz each other with questions from an "If..." book (https://www.amazon.com/Big-Book-If-e.../dp/1400060486), play a fast-paced game like Uno, or paint your nails. I assume you're a guy, but put your pride aside for this one...you already got the masque on, and yes it does wash off and yes you may have face mask stuck in your hair for a day or so, so why not paint your nails? You can always remove it afterwards before work if you're afraid of getting teased. It's up to you the color, but I've always found black nail polish on a guy to be super sexy and the manliest nail polish color.

So once the nail polish is dry and the masque is washed off bake/order/make your own pizza, bake some brownies and/or cookies, play some board games, then settle in with a feel-good movie or comedy. By then you'd be ready for sexy-time. That's my idea of a great cheap date. Yes, this is what women normally do during girl's nights, but at the same time we also wish our man could join in on the fun.

Past dates I've done? Number one date is driving a scenic route on a windy road and conversing. I've also done bars/karaoke/nightclubs, romantic candlelit dinners, Chuck E. Cheese's (yes, we had a great time but couldn't fit in the tubes), Scandia, fairgrounds/festivals/farmer's markets, movies, game nights, and lots of at-home activities.
