When it’s time for date night fun, don’t stress about making every little moment extravagant and expensive. If you just want to spend time with your special someone but don’t have the inclination to make it a big event, try doing something casual. Take a trip to Blue Starlite Drive-in, the city’s only remaining drive-in theater. A movie beneath the stars is a great way to spend the evening. Or if the weather is right, try going swimming at one of best spots around the city, such as Barton Springs Pool, Krause Springs or St. Edwards Park.

Casual dates are sometimes the best way to go. Don’t bother trying to plan out something fancy, just spend time with the one you care about in a low-stress environment. Better yet, you usually don’t have to spend much money to do this. Try a night out skating around in circles at a roller skating rink such as Southgate Roller Rink or Bellevue Skate King. Or toss some balls around while you have a few drinks at a bowling alley. Garage, West Seattle Bowl and TechCity Bowl are all great places for that. And if the weather is nice, trying taking advantage of it by going swimming.
