ruggy Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Aside from going out to dinner, what else do couples do? Include sport events, museums, theatre, movies, etc. And don't say sex.
zhsoj Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Haha... Yeah... Might want to google "dinner at the y"
uRabbit Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I'm pretty sure that "dinner at the y" counts as sex. Couples do a LOT! They make dinner, go to movies, watch movies at home, help each other with work/schoolwork/yardwork, share hobbies, go on trips, take walks, work out together, raise a family, share a mortgage and other bills, etc. But most importantly, they are (should be) each others' BEST support system.
Author ruggy Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Interesting. Couples pay for each others mortgage?

alphamale Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Aside from going out to dinner, what else do couples do? Include sport events, museums, theatre, movies, etc. And don't say sex. watch tv and snuggle on the sofa?
curiousnycgirl Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 My ex and I used to: hunt together, as well as shoot clays boating/water skiing/wake boarding Repairs around the house watch football visit friends go on vacations watch movies walks for charity fund raising dinners go to concerts the list really is pretty extensive UGH I've lost my best friend. Life sux at times
JamesM Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 It is rather simple....couples do what interests them both. So, if my hobby is skiing (ie breaking a leg) and my date enjoys it too, then we may go skiing. If my hobby is boating, then I may introduce my date to boating. it is also good to discover if your potential partner enjoys the same things as you do. For example, I may enjoy skiing, but my date may not. If skiing is really important to me, then this may be a deal breaker and our relationship will end. The goal of doing things together is the development of a friendship and bond together. It is also the time when each discovers if this person is the type of person that would make a lifetime partner. It is not so much what you do together, but that you do things that both enjoy.
baker23 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Yo do things that interest you both or you try to enjoy the thigs that the other likes. I don't tipically like sports, but my boyfriend does, and sometimes I go with him to soccer or baseball games because he enjoys it, and I enjoy being with him. But we go bowling, picnics, excercise, in summer go to the beach, water parks, horseback riding, scenic drives, camping, hiking, shopping, video games, playing pool, skiing, skating, concerts, plays, circus, carnivals, dancing, kite flying, going to the zoo, etc.... There are so many things you can do that do not involve sex.
Brady_to_Moss Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 God i need someone that can do all that stuff with me!! Hopefully soon!
JamesM Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 God, i need someone that can do all that stuff with me!! Hopefully soon! It appears that you are asking God for someone , but I as a human will give my advice.... If you would like a partner that enjoys doing the things you do, then join a club or organization formed around the activities that you enjoy doing. Then you may actually meet someone who...enjoys doing what you enjoy doing.
Author ruggy Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Hey James, anything you can do with this freezing temperature?
BubblyPopcorn Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 JamesM had some good suggestions, you could do fun things too like paintball or laser tag, video arcade, go-cart racing, rock climbing places, planetariums, there's places where you can go make your own pottery things like that. Winter things could be snow tubing/sledding, flea markets or pet stores just to look at the different pets, planetariums if there are any around you, going for a drive somewhere that is special to the two of you, things like that. You make your own memories over time and sometimes you'll do outdoor activities and other times just spending down time together indoors - you can cook food with each other, make fondue, play board games, take naps, let her paint your toe nails or something, things like that.
BubblyPopcorn Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I just noticed how many times I said "things like that" LOL!
confused_2008 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 let her paint your toe nails or something

Paint toenails? You know I am a male. Right? That fruity stuff, not for me.
allina Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 My SO and I go to concerts a lot because we both enjoy music a great deal, and there is an abundance of concerts where we live. We also like seeing stand up comedy and on occasion go to the theater. When the weather is nice we like to go kayaking or hiking, there are amazing places here for that too. We also like to go wine tasting, out to the local pub, friends homes, we hang out with our large group of friends a lot and we're down to try just about anything. Sometimes we just stay home and watch a movie or hang out, we cook Indian food together as well. And I love dragging him to browse bookstores, especially if thee is a reading I'm a bit of a book nerd. We do lame boring stuff as well, like going to Target
