Another idea is walking around UNC's campus if the weather's nice. Or the Duke Gardens. We will also sometimes eat dinner in and go out for dessert only (or vice versa with apps out and dinner in). Or eat dinner then go to a pub for a beer or two just to get out for a bit. Museums are great suggestions and first night.

Geocaching in a local park as part of a hike.
Check nearby high schools to see if they're putting on a musical or play. Tickets are usually $10 or less, and the shows are often very good.
Buy ice cream and sit on the rockers on the front porch of Maple View.
Walk around downtown Hillsborough or along their riverwalk.
Not this time of year, but fruit picking is a lot of fun and pretty inexpensive. Plus you keep what you pick and can turn it into something yummy.
Lots of places offer half price wings/apps on Tuesdays. You can also go to Park West Theater in Morrisville for $5 on Tuesday. Then even have a $5 popcorn/drink combo. Tuesdays are a good day to eat out and watch movies!

I always thought dinner and a movie was hard to beat for date night. It can be done of a budget too.
Check out the gallery at 21c
Duke Gardens
Picnic on the Eno
Nasher(think there's a free day but I forgot which day) https://www.fullframefest.org/event/...ame-road-show/ ....if you guys like Documentaries this event is free
You can hit up Saxapahaw and grab a coffee and snacks at cup22 then walk the haw river
Hit up Hillsborough grab something from weaver st market and have a picnic along the riverwalk
Pretty much, yes. Gallaries open, restaurants run specials (but are busy) and there are street performers, vendors, and etc. They usually have flaming hula-hoops and flaming jugglers, which is always fun to watch.
Like I said, much better on a nice night. This week is first friday, but you'd have to BTFU (Bundle the F up) to enjoy it.
I'm so looking forward to doing things like this. Such a great idea to socialize and support local art.

Last time we visited, we would choose a dinner and a dessert place. More often than not, we wound up at Bittersweet for drinks and dessert.
