Cheap dates Ideas
Going for Day Trip
Talking a walk is easily the cheapest date you can do with your lady friend. A romantic walk on a beach or a stroll through the woods can pass hours. You can easily show your sensitive side by filling her with bullshit names of birds, flowers and trees.
Going for a Drink.
A coffee is easily the cheapest, no more than $4 dollars each and you could share a slice of cake or cookie, being the gentleman that you are, you will give her the larger piece. Nice.
Catching a movie.
There are plenty of cheap deals with vouchers, student deals and cheap days, in both cinema's and video store's.
Going for a Meal.
For the cheapest option, sharing a pizza is the cheapest at about $8 and its romantic, sharing anything is romantic. If you want something formal how about brunch again quite cheap no more than $20 each.
A Night in by the fire.
Board games are nothing to laugh at. You have the opportunity to show that your a competitive but fair person, be careful if you are playing a general knowledge, you don't want to come across as a dumb ass.
Other ideas not to be forgotten about:
A cheap bottle of wine or a few cans are always good.
A Picnic, just a few sambos and a cheap bottle of wine. perfect.
Happy Hour, easy as.
Planking, I don't know but all the kids are doing it these days.

The Type of Girl you need to date.
Possible marriage material.
· The Best Friend Girl:
Not to be confused with your best girl-friend. This girl will laugh at your jokes, play sports and x-box with you. She will be into everything you are into. She will text you to see if you want to catch that movie you wanted to see, not because she wants to be with you but she wants to actually to see that movie. She is the female version of you.
If this is what you want go find her and HI 5 her.Note to self: She may start competing with you and even start winning
· The Independent Girl:
This girl wants a partner but doesn’t need a partner in her life. She is very sure of what she wants from life. She likes her own space and is okay with you spending a lot of time with your friends but needs you to act responsible. You need to match her maturity to score this girl and you need to pull your weight in the day to day living, she’s definitely not your mum.
Note to self: She may not want kids.
· The Homemaker
Cooking, cleaning and washing. You know what I'm talking about here.
She is happy, when the time is right, to give up her job, because she won’t call it a career, to become your personal maid. She will always want to cook for you. She knows her way around babies and she will do everything to please your mum.
This girl just wants a partner to give her a nice home, a happy family and a healthy husband that wants the same.Note to self: Don’t take her for granted.
· The Health Guru.
Yoga, low blood pressure and a long life is what she will give you. She will have a fridge full of fruit and veg and they will probably be all organic. Her pastimes will be tramping, cycling and feeding her family healthy creations.
Note to self: Take-away’s and boozing will be a no-no.
· The “Stand By Your Man” Girl
She is very proud of her man, she is with you through thick and thin. She complements you when you’re feeling down, she knows when you’ve had a hard day and will listen to all your problems. She will talk you up to her friends but will not lie about you or to you. She will be straight up and honest with you. This girl is part independent girl and part homemaker. She will know all the tips and information you will need for interviews and your business proposals.
Note to self: Keep her in the loop she sees it as a business partnership as well as a marriage.

Quick Tips: Tidy/Smart Casual
Quick Tips: Tidy/Smart Casual
Tidy casual, smart casual and business casual are loosely defined dress codes used in professional and informal circumstances. From what the internet has to offer this is what I have come up with to what they mean. You may think otherwise.
Rules and guidelines:
Dress shoes, or dressy slip-on shoes.
No trainers or skater shoes.
Dark socks to match your shoes. Please no white socks.
Suit trousers are perfect, chinos and dark slacks. Nothing baggy.
Jeans, good quality, fitted dark blue jeans. Not suitable for all occasions.
If in doubt forget about it.
No shorts, boardies or speedos please.
Wear a belt always.
Shirts, a fitted, long sleeve shirt preferably, rolled-up sleeves are ok if you like.
No t-shirts. Polo’s, maybe, it depends on the situation, avoid logos and slogans.
Ties are not needed, top button open, second button only if the venue is outside.
No loud colour’s, play it safe.
Sunglasses outside only, your just a douche if you wear sunglasses inside.
You think you're cool, everyone else thinks you're blind.
Always
· Use an Iron. There is no excuse for having a wrinkled and creased looking tea-towel that you call a shirt.
· Wear a belt. Every man should have at least 2 belts. A simple black belt to go with your black pants, and a tanned leather belt for your jeans.
· Never wear white socks. Ever. You cant go wrong with black or very, very, very dark blue socks.
