Date Idea: the bookstore

DATE IDEA: the bookstore
Cost: $

Honestly, I view this as a fall date just because it seems cozy and slightly nerdy— it’s still fun though! However, summer is the time when college students tend to have more spare time thus more time to go out, especially on dates.

This date requires you and your date to head down to your local bookstore ( don’t do this at your campus bookstore ) and have fun.

Peruse the selection as normal and pick up whatever books you plan to purchase; if none, that’s fine!

Once you’re both done choosing, plop down in the “poetry and romance” section and let the sweetness and or hilarity ensue.

If you’re feeling cheesy and deep, go for the poetry shelf. You guys can share some of your favorites from the classics; it’ll help you bond, learn about each other, and just express yourself. 
You can go light- hearted and pick random poems or some Shel Silverstein!

If you feel like just joking around, definitely go for the romance shelf! It might sound crazy, but this can be hilarious. By “romance” I mean 50 Shades or those stubby novels you find at the market with some bare-chested man next to a stallion. Pick one of these up, open to a random page and paragraph, and read it aloud (or at least attempt to). It’ll be ridiculous, awkward, and overall, just fun!

Or if you guys are totally into that stuff, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it in a different way!Ahaha.

My boyfriend and I did this in the fall, we laughed a ton, and spent nothing (excluding the small amount of gas). It was a date full of teasing, joking, and sharing perspectives on literature! 
This is a simple date that I hope you guys also enjoy! It won’t break the bank unless you buy a bunch of books so it’s perfect for a laid- back, casual date night.
