Dating means you have to spend money and lots of it to meet a whole bunch of girls or women. You have to take them for a movie or to dinner and most of the time, you just don’t click with them!

Does that mean you have to keep spending tons of money? Not really. Most women are looking for a man they can connect with and that happens only if they can talk to him and interact with him.

Of course, money is important for them too but it’s on a par with physical, mental and emotional matching.

Dating shouldn’t cost you a lot of money. Here are a few cheap but impressive ideas that you can use to connect with women.

Arts and Craft- Almost every woman loves fairs because it builds on fun. It’s even more fun if there are games, local artisan stall and even a flea market where they can browse and enjoy themselves window shopping. You have to remember that for women the process of shopping is as good as buying something.

They don’t really have to buy all the time but browsing is a huge attraction for them too.If you aren’t sure about the local fairs in your locality, take at look at the local events calendar of your community. There will usually be several unique events that are hosted during tourist time, festival time and vacation time. Entry is usually free or a minimal fee has to be paid and you can easily fill up on popcorn, soft drinks and pizza.

Sometimes a craft fair or a tourist fair might not work for her as she has different interests. Find out what she likes and build on that. Try websites like Metroblogging, Flavorpill, and MyOpenBar.com to find really great niche events that are free and open to the public and are related to her interests.

Culture-Many venues will have free open music events that are hosted all through the week. These may require payment but if you choose a day during the week, they usually cost less. For example, the Los Angeles Hollywood Bowl has events that are hosted through the week for $6 or less. If you book ahead you get tickets for even lower.

Try local museums or historic sites which will have walking tours and events that are open to the public and are for free. If you live near a college, they will usually host events that are open to the public and which showcase local student talent. Tickets are usually free.If you aren’t interested in these options, one of the best ways to get close to a girl on the first date would be to take dance lessons at the community center. These classes are usually free but this idea won’t work if you or your dates already know how to dance.

Music-There are always bands that are dying for an audience. Log on to Facebook or Myspace to find bands that are located in your area and who are playing live. You or your date can pick a band and go listen to them live at the venue.Try the local community center for events that are hosted for branding.

For example, most communities will have musical nights, local artistes and even international artistes that perform for charity or for free at public sites. These are usually advertised at local community centers. You might have to pay a nominal fee though but it’s worth the expense.
