I am not sure it knocked me off my feet, but I was happy and enjoyed every minute- love when DH do simple things like go to the city/central park walk and get ice cream on a nice beautiful day.
He makes me breakfast in bed. My DH is big on cooking so I am lucky in that aspect. Sometimes he will throw some fish on the grill with corn on the cob and we will just chill in our yard.
Something we did recently while in Del (for a friends party) was drive out to Longwood gardens and it was beautiful, we just walked and looked at all the beautiful flowers and greenery got some lemonade and just enjoyed the day out.
I think there are a number of things you can do that do not cost a lot, but I think the problem comes in when a man is just cheap lol. It is different to just do those things because you want to and you can switch up and do an expensive date like see a play and vaca. However, with that said its nice when a man is open and creative when it comes to dating. Why not go to a museum instead of a movie, or a picnic instead of going out to eat. DH and I would picnic all the time when we still lived in BK....
