CluelessGuy1986 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I have been seeing a girl who I really like for about a month now. I love spending time with her and she says the same. Lately, we have been going out and getting something to eat and then going back to my place (she lives at home) to watch some movies or tv shows we have downloaded. I really enjoy this as we get to spend quality time together, sometimes we just talk for hours on end and being close to her/snuggling is the best. However I cant help but feel I have to come up with more interesting things to do? With that being said I have no idea what types of things, especially during the week - weekends are a little different. She seems happy enough doing this, maybe I am just overthinking things? When you guys/gals see your partner how often is it hanging out at one of your places? Thanks for any advice.
xpaperxcutx Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Yes, I can see it becoming boring. Go out dancing, go out for couple activities, avoid the need to stay in bed 24/7 except for sleeping. Check out the library, take up an exercise activity together.... movies and tv can only go so far.

I would always suggest fun stuff to do but she'd poop on it. Then after about a month of that she told me she was getting bored of the relationship because we'd always end up doing the same thing.. hmmmmm who's fault is that??????????
mo mo Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 OP you should check out some shows. Find out what kind of music she likes. Then go to a site like going.com and plan something together.
ShatteredReality Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 You can also play board games and stuff - I mean that too will get boring eventually possibly, but it's more interactive. And if you're broke it's cheap. Scrabble, Card games, whatever you like - now if you aren't broke and want to go out you can take her bowling or to play pool....I'd say midweek you probably want to mostly stay in, though, b/c of work....but if you don't have early morning work schedules you can go out and do those thing - less crowded. Also, depending on where you live, you can go to a beach and walk around, or to a waterfall....I don't know what is close to you. Where I live we are 45 min from waterfalls, and hour and a half from the beach (day trip fun), and about an hour from the mountains... Of course, if you're not into the outdoors then plays and places to dance and such are good also in town...
ShatteredReality Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 K - just realized you're in Boston - I have no idea what there is to do there...but it's a big City - so I imagine lots! Oh - also you can cook together...cooking as a team can be a kind of bonding experience...if you like to cook...make a nice dinner together...
hopefully Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 How's the weather in your area? In my area, the weather's fine and you could find some fun volunteer activities through the whole week, like fruit picking, charity events, etc.
Author CluelessGuy1986 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks for all the replies. Its pretty cold here so going out and walking around isnt the greatest thing to do. We have went skating though. Weekends are different, we have went out dancing, its just the 1 or 2 days we get to meet up in the week. Im just going to ask her how she feels about it. Personally, I would rather spend time alone than do an activity that neither one of us really likes for the sake of it?

There ya go - that's the bottom line...you have to do something you both like...and then go from there. What works for one couple may not work for another. My H and I go through spurts...now mid week we can't really go out cause we have kids and work and such...but he will get a new video game from his brother and we both play it...I am not huge into VGs but it's kinda fun...he teases me when I die a lot...but oh well...or we have played Scrabble...something to break up the routine a little here or there...but by and far our favorite is taking turns being the "snack preparer" and sitting together watching a movie. The point is...to do something you enjoy doing with her.

hopefully Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 You can also try to use Meetup and choose the activities you both are interested in.
