Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep a relationship fresh? Like what activities could be done(expensive and inesxpensive)? I need help because I don't want my realationship to fall apart.
CHRIStotheTINAA answered Sunday August 27 2006, 7:32 pm: Don't see eachother every single day. Me and my boyfriend only see eachother maybe 2 times a week at the most. You'll appreciate eachother more and realize how much you really miss eachother, so seeing eachother will be special. For activities.. one day you could just stay home & watch a movie. You could make a small bonfire another time. You could go to the movies, and maybe next time maybe try to double date with another friend. You could go to a fair or a carnival if there's one during that time. You could go to the park, or have a picnic. You could go to the mall, either to just walk around or to look at stuff. You could go to a party together or a get together with friends. You could try minigolfing or go-karts. You could give eachother little gifts every once in awhile.. those are alwaysss fun. ahahah Umm, and of course try to talk on the phone maybe everyday- it doesn't have to be a 3 hour long conversation. Just as long as you're checking up on eachother. There's a lottt of things you could do togetherr. Hope I helpedd :] [ CHRIStotheTINAA's advice column | Ask CHRIStotheTINAA A Question ]

And whenever you two go to hang out, maybe go to the movies, if there's any fairs or amusment parks go to them, go to the beach if there's one nearby, go swimming at the local pool or your own pool, sometimes what me and people do is we just walk around in giant eagle and we'll run around and play it tag or something and just act like little kids and we'll buy weird stuff at the dollar store and walk around with it all day and run around. You could also go out to dinner somewhere, or go to the mall together, or go play laser tag or go mini-golfing or driving go-karts. And whenever winter rolls around, you can go snowboarding/skiing, make snowmen, sit near the fireplace and just watch a movie with hot chocolate, have snowfights, maybe even go ice skating.
It all depends on the season, really. Like in the fall just act like two silly kids and run around and go trick or treating together, maybe or go to a Halloween Party somebody might be throwing.
And try buying eachother stuff that you both can go to and enjoy. Like, buy tickets to a concert, make a photo album of stuff you guys have done together, etc. Maybe even plan a special dinner for him at home. Like, don't tell him what you're doing, just tell him to come over your house around 8 or something, and then whenever he walks in, you could have a little table with food you made on it. Or even go out and have a picnic while the sun sets if you want to be real romantic. :]
Sometimes you just have to be a little random and have fun. Like I remember one time me and people were just hanging out, and I think we were talking about Hulk Hogan I forget, but then we just all started wrestling and it was so much fun.

Plus, seeing each other less means that the time you do spend together will mean more.
Try to go out as a couple every couple of weeks and try activties such as picnics, walks, swimming, bowling, movies, restaurants, go the beach, festivals, concerts, paintballing, canoeing, the zoo etc. Have a look in local papers and on websites for things to do in your area. If you can afford it or for special occasions like birthdays, try more adventurous activties like snorkelling or sky diving.
Little presents every now and again are nice too. Try surprising them with a book or video game they wanted.
But don't feel that you have to fill your relationship with fun things all the time. Remember to talk to each other on a regular basis so that you know what the other is feeling and what's going on in their lives. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
