Do you plan yalls date?

I planned all of my dates throughout the relationship 3 years and sometimes i wish he would surprise me i would love a get dressed were going out. I explained to him how im young i dont wanna lay in the bed with you all day and nothings happened his excuse is we have no money to go out . I askedd him to think of cheap dates like going to the lake or something i just want to feel special..his excuse his hes not creative. Is this normal in some relationships should i just accept the fact im the date planner
