Let me say that if you dont have any idea what to do other than sex I dont thin you should be in a relationship.
Friendships are based on shared experiences.
What type of things you plan should be based on your and his interested. If his is physical, and it sounds like he is, guys love paintball. An adult go-cart track is also awesome fun, especially if they are lax on bumping. Also good are a trip to the firing range or hitting a bucket of balls at the driving range. Guys love to teach their gf's stuff so this is a good opertunity for him.
It can also be awesome to learn something new together. I went through a display of Cornell boxes with a girlfriend and it really was an enlightening afternoon.

 Everybody is nervous with their partner to begin with, but just try and relax, and thing of any idea to break the ice, like saying "right we're going out for a meal!!" and go to a romantic restaurant and ask questions to one another so you discover little secrets about one another- that will be an intimate thing to do, which doesn't cost too much.
Go to the cinema- you get to cuddle up together and then talk about the film aftewards
Book surprise concert tickets- that'll be good for to experience something new together so you have fond memories of being together
Go bowling with friends- you can introduce him to your friends aswell as having a laugh
Just try and relax and be comfortable around him, and on some nights you'll be happy to sit and watch TV together and have an "early night" aswell as doing all the active stuff with mates, etc.
Hope that helps x

Well since you do not have much time together.i think one of the best things that you could do is something that is physical right off the bat like,making pottery,make bon fire at the beach,go to the mountains.It would also be cool if you guys went out and bought something together.Something that you guys could both wear to remember like an inside oke or something cute like that.

 in the last few months i have done the following things with by bf:
* taken turns to read a book aloud to each other in bed (its nice curled up cuddling and a funny book means you laugh lots together)
* watched a DVD together
* cooked a dinner together - choosing a recipe and going to buy ingredients together. (we are both bad cooks so this is fun fooling around in the kitchen together!)
* sat listening to music drinking a bottle of wine together
* walked through central park catching leaves falling off trees together (romantic!)
* visited family
* gone to a musuem (good ones in london and new york, depends where you live and what you are both interested in)
* played scrabble
* gone to the cinema to see a film
* spent a night out with his friends
* spent a night out with my friends
* gone shopping for treats (buying something for him, and something for you, you both get to choose something for the other)
one of the nicest things about being in a relationship is that you get to do things with someone else. what do YOU want to do? what are your interests? take it in turns to choose something you each would like to do. what do you do by yourself? anything you could share with him?

Planing ahead may help, have a romantic night in with a good DVD and talk every moment matters it doesnt have to be romantic just along as you smiles on your face you will never forget. Doing different things together enything you both like. if you like him then make each moment count.
