Ten dates for under $20
I've come to realize that dating can be an expensive venture. In the quest for two lovebirds to spend time together, they also usually end up spending a lot of hard-earned cash as well. But it doesn't have to be that way. There are a number of dates you can go on around Middle Georgia for under $20. Don't believe me? Read on.
1. Have a picnic. The Ocmulgee Heritage Trail is a great spot to spread a blanket and eat together. Make your sandwiches from food you already have at home, or go to the grocery store and pick up some sandwiches and potato salad.
2. Visit the Capitol Theatre downtown for a movie. Movie tickets are under $5 each, and you still have money left to spend on a slice or two of pizza.
3. Grab some ice cream. The weather outside feels like spring, so don't be bashful about eating this frozen treat in the winter. Marble Slab on Zebulon Road in Macon and Coldstone Creamery on Watson Boulevard in Warner Robins are still open.
4. Have a lunch date. Lunch is usually cheaper than dinner, and you can easily eat for $20 at any number of the sandwich shops downtown. My favorite, of course, being Bert's. Hint: you'll save money if you order water instead of a soft drink.
5. Go ice skating. Ice skating is tentatively set to start Saturday, Dec. 23 at the Macon Centreplex. Even if you're bad, it will allow you to hang all over your special someone. Ticket prices are $8 each for adults.
6. Check out a trivia night. You can go to trivia almost any night of the week in Macon. Match your wits against your partner's and enjoy two-hours of free entertainment. Grab some drinks, appetizers or desserts while you're at it, and you'll have a night to remember. In Macon, you can find trivia at Rivalry's on Tuesdays, El Azteca on Wednesdays and Buffalo's on Thursdays.
7. Karaoke. Serenade each other or fight for the title of Worst Singer Ever. Coasters on Riverside Drive has karaoke on Thursdays.
8. Create art. Check out Amphora Pottery Studio on Zebulon Road. Pick out one of the pieces of pottery and paint it together. The only cost is purchasing your pottery piece. Paint and stencils are free.
9. Rent a movie or two. Pop some popcorn at home and snuggle up on the couch.
10. Forget the whole going out thing and stay home. Eat your own food, watch your own movies and amuse each other by giving massages or playing board games. Oh, and there's always making out.
Anyone have any other cheap date ideas?

As far as #8 goes, I would have to defer to Paintin and Kiln Time on Ingleside. They even stayed open late for my date and I to paint pottery, and on many occasions does pizza parties, and other fun things. When you get done you can head over to Ingleside Village Pizza for a slice or two.
Just a side note — Amphora is willing to stay open as well. And you have lots of food choices there.
Alright, alright. I think it is obvious that both places are great to visit and either would be desirable for a "cheap" and fun date.
