hey_beautiful Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 What do you do for fun with your partner? I enjoy my boyfriend a lot. He is the smartest person I know and very funny. However, it seems as though I feel lost on some other things we can do together but talk and go to movies and dinner. I am a more outgoing person than my boyfriend, and I bore easily (which is a seriously bad trait). I prefer to be out of the house doing something, but not without purpose. We have been known to wander aimlessly around stores and malls, but it's obviously not very fun, considering if we're not there for a reason, it's just pointless. He likes to go out too, sometimes, but not too often. Usually he will want to go somewhere or do something out of the house when he is extremely bored and his other options like doing programming or playing video games does not satisfy him. For me, if boredom strikes, I will read or surf the web. I actually enjoy watching him play video games, and I play too, sometimes...but I suck. A lot. It's not like we don't want to find things we enjoy together, in fact, it is our quest for the moment. We have lived in a new state for a year, and they have cute places to browse, but as I think you have gathered, "browsing" is just not our thing. We live in a small college town, so there are things to do, but less than you might imagine. After a while, hearing bands play and going to the new restaurant just isn't fun anymore. We want to break out of our routine of watching TV, going out to eat, and doing the usual things. I am at a lack as to what we can do. I know that sounds really stupid, but I am not imaginative at all. My boyfriend is just as hopeless as me in that area. We thought we would make a jar that has different activities on a piece of paper, and when boredom strikes, we will grab one piece of paper, see what it says, and go do that activity. I wanted to know what y'all did with your significant others so we can add that to our little activity jar. Any help is awesome

threebyfate Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Take on a hobby or get involved in a sport that you both can enjoy. Keep in mind that anything athletic will help both of you stay healthy and in shape, especially if, from the sounds of it, both of you tend to lead sedentary lives.

Joie de Vivre Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 activities I do (and have done) with my fiance: *Workout together *Take a cooking class together (once a month this local cookware store hosts a class like sushi night). this takes planning though, so mark your calendars *learn a new language together * do something strange and out of the blue..something you would never ever imagine doing! we once took a free trial class on painting landscapes ( he is buff nerdy computer science + chemical engineer.. so I was surprised he agreed to give it a go). we ended up taking home our canvases and laughing at our awful paintings. *Go hiking / bike riding / kayaking / canoeing (a great workout!) *go to a comedy club *cooking night together ~ we learn a new recipe together from online, and at the same time cook a surprise dish separately. *90's movie marathons. we rent our favorite cheesy 90's movies and watch it from morning till midnight on a boring saturday *o* *go to a massage place together *go for wine tasting class *volunteer for a cause you both believe in *take up a sport together (ex. we've been trying to play tennis and have done things like going to the driving range, batting cage to joining a nerdy local dodgeball team). *take him lingerie shopping. even though if you buy just one, his imagination would run wild just watching you select sexy pieces. hope this helps!
