For me it doesn't always takes money. I am usually stuck with taking someone in a series of "dates", so I try to do the most I can in the shortest time possible.
It takes respect, creativity, presence, good hygiene, planning and care.
First and foremost treat her with respect. Anything else is unacceptable.
Be creative as to what to do, even if it means driving around in circles and asking for directions just so you can take her to that perfect spot.
Be present, ask questions, look for signs of what she likes or doesn't like. Pull back the chair at a restaurant, open doors, in my case translate, be totally present.
Good hygiene is a given for me, but I usually go an extra mile for dates. And yes, smell good enough to make her want to munch on you. Do some pre-date grooming, fresh haircut, take care of your hands, nails, etc.
Plan something for her, money is not always involved. I once had a "date" that entailed me spending a lot of time and effort getting something to work just so that we could do something together. It was worth it, it was inexpensive and it was fun.
Look at her in the eye, let her know how much you are enjoying her presence and always make sure to compliment her. I am certain she also put a lot of effort in looking as spectacular as she does. Show her you care. After all, she is the reason you are out on a date to begin with.
