I'm Bored. What Is There To Do?

Date night suggestions that you may not have thought of.

Dinner, movie, dinner and a movie. If you find yourself falling into this same old rut your date night, or any time you want to spend some time together, can turn into a chore instead of the fun and invigorating time it should be. A date is a time to connect with another person and learn some new things about them or even remind yourself of some of the reasons you were attracted to them in the first place. Here are a few ideas to break out of that same old routine.

The picnic

The picnic is always a good stand by when you're trying to spice up your dating routine. The difference maker is all in how you approach it. Don't just have a standard picnic. What if you had a table set up on the beach, or up on a bluff overlooking the water? Wouldn't this give you something new and exciting to talk about right off the bat? Maybe you could even hire a friend to be a waiter and have them serve you. They might even be willing to do it for free. If not then go to a local restaurant and see if you can find a waiter or waitress that would be willing to work for you for the night. Get some candles and make this more than just a evening picnic, make it an unforgettable experience.

Have your fortunes told

Keeping a relationship fresh and fun requires trying new things. Make a date to see a fortune teller. Even if you don't believe in psychics it can still be a fun activity to do together. Approach it as an experience and not so much a forecasting of what your life is going to become. Imagine if the fortune teller told you about your upcoming heart-attack! Just disregard that and concentrate on the good things, after all you may only have a few days to live. I guess I'll order a salad today instead of a cheeseburger...

Volunteer at a Soup Kitchen

This may sound like work, and it is, but it can be such a rewarding experience to share that it can really bring you closer. You may learn more about your date/significant other from this experience than 10 normal dates. Helping others can actually help you feel good about yourself. It raises self esteem and also humbles one. This is an odd date but can bond a couple like super-glue.

Your bored so play a "board" game

This is a suggestion that others have given but I don't feel like they've given you the right advice in this arena. Firing up a game of Monopoly can be a fun experience, but the night could be so much more. Instead of playing one board game how about mapping out the night a little differently. Start with an easy game that is quick to play. Something like Yahtzee, or Boggle. Then work up to a longer game like Life or Monopoly. By this time you probably will have been playing for a while so take a break with a light hearted game of Pictionary. This is where the date can get really exciting. Start drawing some semi-naughty pictures. Nothing to raunchy just some pictures that will leave some hints of what may be to come. This can be a blast and will really get your dates interest peaked. Lastly, surprise them with a game that you picked up at an adult store and let the games begin! What a way to end the night with a bang!

Remember you don't have to take your board games to the level described above, just use your discretion and know what your date would be comfortable with.

Spicing up a date and breaking out of the old routine is needed every once in a while. Be on the lookout for other opportunities that may be a little different but could still be fun. Now get out of that rut and make your next date a great one.
