Why it’s a good cheap date
Light competition is one of the fastest ways to feel comfortable around someone.
Most bowling alleys have weekday off-peak rates that make a game cost less than a coffee. Book one lane, play two games, invent ridiculous bowling names for each other, and let the scoreboard decide who buys dessert.
Tips
- Bring socks. Rentals cost extra.
- Two games is the sweet spot; three gets tiring.
- Check for student rates if either of you has an ID.
Make it more romantic
- 1Each strike earns a compliment from the other person.
- 2Play one game left-handed for fairness (and laughs).
- 3Keep the scorecard photo as a memory.
- 4Bring a handwritten note and hand it over at the very end.
