There’s something so romantic about summertime. The warm summer breeze, the smell of flowers and cut grass, the sounds of fun and laughter, summer has a wonderful sense of casual lightness. It’s a great time to get out of the dating rut and dust off your playful side. Whether it’s a first date or a date night with a long-time partner, it’s always fun to try out some new date ideas. Summer offers many dating options that aren’t available at other times of the year…and best of all, many of them won’t break the bank.
夏天到處都充滿著浪漫的氣息：夏季那溫暖的和風(fēng)，那鮮花和草坪修剪過后的味道，還少不了那歡聲笑語。夏天就是有一種休閑輕盈的奇妙感覺。夏天也是一個(gè)外出約會(huì)、重溫歡樂的最好時(shí)間。無論是你第一次約會(huì)或想與交往已久的男（女）朋友共度溫馨夜晚，嘗試一下新的約會(huì)方式，這樣會(huì)讓雙方都很開心回味無窮。在夏天，你可以擁有許許多多的約會(huì)方式，這是其它季節(jié)不能與之相比的。最好的是，這些約會(huì)建議還不需要花費(fèi)過多金錢。
