writes:Im having some issues with our date nights. My bf and i live together and have two children. When we have a date night, whether we have a bby sitter or not we tend to do the same things. We either go out to a movie go out to dinner rent a red box vid or game and thats about it. He loves going out to movies. I dont as much. I have wanted to go fishing for years, but something always comes up financially. So we cant buy our licenses, tackle boxes line ect. He likes hiking but doesnt like to go with me cuz i cant always keep up. I told him the more we go ill build my muscles n keep up. Tonight we have a gamer night he rented a wii game but its only one player so i get to watch him. I told him i was bored and that he should have been more considerate. Any suggestions on things we can do together, other than sex lol.

 Research what is in your area and what options you have that are local and affordable. Maybe you can't go fishing the way you want to because it costs money? If so, are there more affordable fishing-trip options available? Can you save up money by for example not eating out on your next date nights, but make food at home and do something inexpensive instead?
Try to plan ahead with him and create some goals together for things you want to do. Then together make up a plan on how to reach these goals. Example, how much needs to be saved up, what can you do for date nights until you reach your goals, maybe you should skip a few date nights if they become boring. And then just have date nights that are fun for the both of you?
Find some goals to work towards, with things you will both enjoy.

 My boyfriend and I go on dates almost every day after work, where he plans these elaborate walking adventures through our city and essentially gives me a guided tour that he learned from Wikipedia or somewhere. It's spectacular fun and never gets old and the newness and excitement keeps our relationship fresh.
If you live in a city, I highly recommend you try it. Pick a few spots you would like to see. Nothing that big or fancy, just a small public garden, a building with interesting architecture, even just a tree you like the look of. Pick a few within a mile or two of each other. Learn something about them, just a few facts, like the history, then go on gmap pedometer or mapmyride.com and plan out a walking route and walk to them. It doesn't have to be far at all, just a mile or two. Plan a few tasty restaurants so you have options and plan to end up there at the end. I find late afternoon is the best for this.

 You could go wine tasting, take dance classes at a community center (usually more inexpensive), walk the boulevard of the downtown city at night, get some paints and try to paint a picture of each other, go see a jazz concert!!!, garden, make a bunch of mini desserts, try a new dinner recipe (and then stay in for a movie, incorporating his thing and your thing), etc!

 Bowling. Tennis. A community little theater play. (You could go see one, you could audition and both be in one.) A concert. The ballet. Bar hopping. A trendy place to eat or drink that has live jazz music. A comedy show. Or rent a Wii with two controllers. Better yet, rent an Xbox where you use your bodies to move things around in the game. Go dancing. Visit a musem. Go bike riding. Roller blading. Take a walk arond your neighborhood (can great ideas for home landscaping). Do some home renovations together. Remodel a bathroom, bedroom or kitchen. Go shopping in a trendy old towne area. Take in an art show. Go antique shopping (even if you don't buy anything)...Volunteer at a shelter or soup kitchen. Try something new on each date night and then repeat the stuff you really enjoyed. I wish you the best.
