Dating Tips

I'm seeing a girl now that I really like. We go out pretty frequently (dinner, movie, shows, those sorts of things). However, I don't want her to become bored by doing the same kinds of run-of-the-mill activities. Any ideas on things to do to keep it interesting?

Go rollerskating, or go to the park and play on the swings and have a picnic, go to a museum, or go somewhere crowded and just people watch with ice cream.

Or not, you know, whatever. Those are things I like to do, at least.

Go bowling. Watch reruns of the Simpsons and drink beer. What the hell am I giving advice for? The Simpsons and beer is the best date I've ever had.

I think it's the quality of the company that matters, not what you do. Feeling strained to think of new, unique enough things to do every time you go out will make her feel strained too, she'll catch the vibe from you. Ask her what would be fun for her and do things that will be fun for both of you, and it will work out in the end! Sometimes it's much more fun to sit in with a good person and watch crap TV than it is to go out somewhere fancy.

A good relationship is made up of 2 things - what you do and don't do together. If she was as cool as you, she would be just as happy eating jellybellys watching reruns of the family guy, as much as she would sitting on your lap, stuffing her face with all you can eat jerk chicken.

But what she would like most of all is that you're trying to make her happy 24/7.

There are all sorts of little things you can do to help make your time w/ the girl more exciting. Even really subtle things... for instance, if it's not a problem then you should try walking places instead of driving. Walking is much more interactive and you have more of a chance to stop and have adventures than you might when you just drive everywhere.

And Alexis' suggestion to gorge & watch cartoons is the shit. That's my dream guy. love

If you can mutually branch out and take chances on what you think would be a fun activity, it'll be all the more rewarding if you two have positive connotations of those discoverred pleasures together. smile
