As a general rule, dating costs money. There are two costs associated with dating. There is the cost of meeting people (ie. to join the dating site) and there is the cost associated of getting to know people (ie. the dinner or movie ticket). This often puts people off dating. They just cannot afford it. As such, I have written this article to help you meet and date people, without spending any money at all.
One of the best pieces of advice you can take on board if you want to meet people, is to make it a part of your life. Yes we know, its often hard to say “Hi” to someone you don’t know, when there is no natural impetus to communication. That’s why its called an ice breaker, it is difficult. But this is also why making meeting people a part of your life is such a great piece of advice. Its difficult at the start, but once you get going it gets easier and easier to do.
You can start this today. When you finish this article, go for a small walk, greet and converse with someone you walk past. The more you do this, the better a conversationalist you will become. You’ll also learn how to break the ice with all manner of people, strike a conversation and build rapport. These skills will come in handy when that attractive person walks by the next time. Because at that point, you’ll have the skills, so you will meet, converse and organise a date with them.
There are so many situation in every day life that give you these opportunities. Some examples include: Sitting on the bus; having a coffee at a cafe; Shopping; Walking the dog; Posting a letter. Every moment you spend outside your front door is a moment that exposes you to the world of meeting people. So get out there and start saying “Hi”.
Now that you are meeting people, you have to work out what to do when you want to see someone again on a date. You need to do this in a way that will leave all your money in your pocket and impress the person you are dating. Its pretty simple really. You just need to think outside the square a bit. The best thing about such dates too, is they work better than expensive dates. The problem about expensive dates is they are all the same. Ie. After someone has taken you out to dinner, the next dinner date is still out to dinner. So when thinking “cheap”, think “unique” also.
So stop, think and be imaginative. It is sure to impress. Here are some ideas to get you thinking: If you are an expert at something (Ie. dancing, surfing, cooking) give your date a free lesson or experience. If you are not an expert, suggest you learn something together. (cooking is great in this regard) Hit your local council up for their local or community events. Go to the beach and have a sand castle building competition (try to lose this one 
)
It is really easy to meet and date people without spending a cent. You have to spend something though, so spend some time and effort instead. Its sure to end in a successful time.
