trombean Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 So me and my gf have been dating officially for about 6 months now. We were kinda dating unofficially for about 3 months before that. When we started going out, we were having tons of fun. Every day was an adventure filled with laughter and excitement... Now we're getting very comfortable with each other like as if we've been married for a long time. We're not having as much fun as we used to, and I think it's kinda my fault. We mostly just go to each other's house and watch tv or play games. It's very relaxing, but not as fun as I'd like it to be. Every once in a while, we'll go on a date to the movies or to go eat out, but we kinda ran out of things to do. Our city's very boring and there's really nothing fun here at all. This girl is definitely a keeper and I don't want her to get bored of me. She notices it too, but she thinks it's her fault. Sometimes she'll apologize and say "Sorry I'm boring. I've just been very sleepy lately"... But I've been feeling very sleepy too and I never know what to say or do. I want to do something fun and exciting with her so we can both kinda snap out of it, but I have no idea what. I'd like to take her on a really creative date, but I have NO idea what it should be. I want to do something for her that will surprise her and give us something to talk about. Any ideas?
sid3 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Being sleepy this time of year is usually related to the reduced amount of daylight. It affects a large percentage of the population. I'd suggest planning a get away, for the no so distant future. It doesn't have to be extravagant and expensive. Just having something to look forward to can work wonders on the mood.
Author trombean Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 That would be nice, but right now at this point in time it would cause more problems than it would fix. She's 21 but her parents are very protective of her. If she went out of town with her bf, there would be all kinds of drama that we both would be hearing about for years.
Scarlett5 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 That's ridiculous....she's 21. I think her parents are just going to have to deal with the fact that their daughter is growing up. So book a little getaway. You're in a relationship with her, not her parents...they'll get over it. 1
mammasita Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Road trips, amusement parks, flea markets??!!
TigerCub Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I was gonna suggest a trip to Vegas for the fun factor! But seeing how her family drama would play out...never mind Why don't you 2 pick a fun activity that you can do together. Sign up for a kickboxing class together, or a bar tending class, or cooking class - something that you both would be interested in, and it would give you a change in the usual routine (for a while) at least...

veggirl Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 how often do you see her? maybe you guys are spending too much time together and need to have some balance in your lives. do you guys go out with other friends and stuff, separate and together? you guys can cook dinner, do theme nights, have a little book club together ?
chex Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Do something you've never done before -- it doesn't have to be something around the city. Maybe drive out and go for a long walk in a forest?
