Q: Dear Tightwad -
I'm dating a great guy, but we both have money problems. How do we date without debt? - Sally C.  

A: Dear Sally,
Don't deepen debt daily - Practice penny pinching planning! - Plan your dates in advance, and focus on freebie fun. Parks, picnics, recreational areas, board games, home cooking, are just some examples. Talk about your finances and remove the pressure to spend. Matinee movies cost less with no crowds. A big shoulder bag can hold your own candy, drinks, popcorn, & take-out food... saving you bucks. Make dates more adventurous with a little touch of creativity and soon you'll both be focusing on love & friendship with a bright financial future together.

Just Because...
Try sending your long-distance lover a handmade care package
just because. It tells him/her that you're thinking of them. Pick
items that they like. A letter written by hand gives that
traditional 'ping'. -Anonymous
Romantic Web Page
Go to a site like angelfire and make a website for your sweet.
There are so many places now that offer free websites that are
pretty easy to create! -leesluv
Book of Memories
Fill a blank book with letters, scribbles, a few photos, and even
poems of your feelings for them. I did it for my boyfriend the
first year we dated, and he loved it! He still reads it today! :D
-Lost Love
Secret Love letters
Create a 'secret admirer' and send letters to your love and sign
them using an exotic name, like Silvia. When your love asks you
about it, just smile... -Esmeralda
Play time
On a rainy day, stay inside and play. Board games like Monopoly
and Sorry are good ways to have some childish fun and make
you closer. Twister is another great game - you never know
where it might lead... -Melissa

hart.gif (174 bytes) ROMANTIC IDEAS FROM TheROMANTIC.COM

Go to a gurgling brook and race leaves or rubber duckies.
Use chalk to write loving welcome home messages on the sidewalk.
Put love notes and Hershey Kisses in your sweetheart’s box of cereal.
Tie a message and balloons to the bottom of the garage door with a foot of string -- the balloons will magically rise in the air when the door is opened.
Brush her hair for ten minutes before going to sleep.
Fax a photocopy of your hand to their office so they can "hold" it while you are apart.
Use Rain-X Anti-Fog and a cotton swab to write love notes on bathroom mirrors – message magically appears when the mirror steams up.
GOODIE BAGS ON THE GO   by Melaney Jenkins
About 10 years ago I decided to count down the days until my
husband's Christmas Vacation. He works very hard in
shipyard in our area, and we both look forward to the 2 weeks
vacation the company gives the workers in place of a bonus.

He drives to a commuter parking lot and takes a bus into the
next city. For the last week of work before his vacation, I
decided to leave a "goodie bag" sitting on the seat of his truck
for him to find each day.

I started with his favorite candy bar, then a bag of salted
peanuts, and so on. I ended with a bag of his favorite cookies
along with one of those coupons books for back rubs and
things. We both enjoyed the fun so much I started leaving a
"Friday Surprise" every week to mark the start of the weekend
-- from cold drinks in the a small thermos during the summer to
fresh baked cookies.

This worked so well I started leaving my daughter a "Friday
Surprise" when she got her license, and started driving to
school. Her friends would come over to the car to see what
she received every Friday!
