Spending time with your girlfriend is always a pleasure, but monotony can lead to disinterest and even boredom. Instead of always lounging on the sofa watching a movie on Netflix, set up a creative date - you can try making something around the house or plan a more elaborate surprise.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Fun Dating
Step 1. Plan a picnic
It is a romantic experience, it allows you to be in contact with nature and do something different than usual. It can be a simple picnic (for example you could have a sandwich in the park on your lunch break) or more elaborate. In the latter case, prepare a basket complete with a large and comfortable blanket for you to sit on. Plan a full meal, washed down with water and white wine. Look for a place with a fountain or spring so you can keep the wine cool while you organize it.
- Choose foods that you can eat with your hands and share.
- Some of the best picnic foods include pan bagnat, a fresh sandwich filled with ham and cheese, hummus and carrots, grapes, peaches, and chocolate.
Step 2. Take a tour of a flea market
Shopping is boring, but wandering around unusual markets is fun. You could buy flowers, fresh produce and artisanal delicacies in the markets that sell zero-kilometer goods. If in your city they don't organize one, look for one nearby and go there by bus. The markets are ideal for spending a day together, among other things you can also buy coffee, fruit and pastries for breakfast outdoors, enjoying the experience even more.
- Buy each other a gift at a flea market, as long as it's a little silly and useless thought. You can also find useful things, but the goal should be to have a different experience than usual.
- You could also take a tour of a farm or a farmhouse that sells fresh products to spend a few hours in the countryside and buy some real delicacies.
Step 3. Live an adventure together
If you have the time, money and courage, try an unusual experience that you have promised yourself to do at least once in your life, such as bungee jumping, skydiving or snorkeling. You could climb the highest mountain in the area, rent equipment to learn how to surf, try motocross or go skateboarding.
Step 4. If you live in or near a tourist city, take advantage of its cultural offer
Visit famous monuments that you do not know or have not seen since you were a child. You could also go to the zoo or the museum. Find out about the dates on which the museums are open for free to the public and spend a day dedicated to art. End the experience with a glass of wine or a nice dinner.
Method 2 of 3: Having Fun at Home
Step 1. Play a game
It can be a relaxing way to get together and have fun. Use cards, board games or games that do not require tools. Choose pastimes that both of you enjoy or try new ones. Understanding the rules of a game you don't know is part of the fun.
- If you choose a competitive game, set some kinky punishments and rewards. The winner should receive something electrifying.
- Try some occult practices to have a mysterious experience. Play with the Ouija board or look for an ancient spell and recite it.
- Try games to get to know each other better. Even if you've been dating for years, there's always something new to discover about your partner. You could play "2 truths and 1 lie": each participant makes two true statements and one made up, then the other has to try to guess what the lie is.
- Answer targeted questions to fall in love again. Take the questions devised by the psychologist Arthur Aron to open up. Answer in turn.
- Try writing short messages on her skin only with one finger, then she will have to do the same. Guess them in turn.
- Play interactive video games, such as Guitar Hero, Just Dance, and Wii Resort.
Step 2. Cook together
If you're not used to it, learning can be fun and rewarding. If you always cook together, try something new. Come up with a recipe using the ingredients you have at home, or challenge your girlfriend to prepare a delicious dish with the ingredients you have chosen for her (and she will have to do the same with you). Whoever manages to cook the best dish will win. Blindfold each other to taste and decide the winner (even if you recognize your dish, it will still be a nice experience).
- Try to recreate dishes that you enjoyed together in a restaurant.
- If you fight when trying to cook together, try to work together to make an elaborate meal, but divide the courses. You can take care of the main course and the side dish, while your partner will prepare the main course, the dessert and take care of the drinks.
Step 3. Let yourself be carried away by nostalgia
On the internet, look for the cartoons you enjoyed as a child. Try to remember even the most bizarre ones. Choose one in turn. You can look back on your childhood with nostalgia and have fun at the same time.
- You can also try a variant. Listen to some music you liked when you were seven. Watch a video that you found scandalous at nine.
- While watching, enjoy a food that you enjoyed as a child but now you no longer eat.
- Try to find out what things you had in common as a child. If you have a certain age difference, grew up in different places or with very different families, it may be necessary to investigate a little before finding a common ground. This challenge will make it even more fun.
Step 4. Share a project
If you live together, think about what you would like to change at home. Maybe you should freshen up the walls or install new shelves. Maybe you want to frame photos, start gardening, or put plants on your windowsill. Manual jobs like this can be boring when done separately, but together they can be fun. Listen to music that both of you love and make your home more beautiful.
- If you don't live together, you can still help each other improve shared areas of the house.
- Share a kitchen project. For example, you could make jam from fresh fruit bought at a farmer's market and divide it or make pickles.
- Learn to make beer and give it a funny name. Take care of the whole process together, even if you can only store the bottles at the home of one of the two. Create the labels and print them. Once it is ready, make an appointment to have the first tasting together, then organize a small party with your closest mutual friends.
Method 3 of 3: Making Special Surprises
Step 1. Plan a treasure hunt for your girlfriend
System of clues around the city that lead her to a final surprise or a date. He will appreciate the effort and time you put into the game.
- Go on a treasure hunt together and discover the world of geocaching. You will follow coordinates to find hidden treasures in cities, parks or woods.
- Customize the clues and make the treasure hunt fun for her.
- To make it a surprise, ask her to see you in a downtown bar and tell her you need help to buy something. Instead of waiting for her there, give an employee a photo of your girlfriend. Ask him to give her a card with instructions on how to get to the next stop. Offer him a tip.
- Make sure you have your cell phone handy in case she doesn't understand the first clue or doesn't want to do the treasure hunt on her own.
- The final surprise can be a ticket to see her favorite artist or a dinner you have prepared especially for her.
Step 2. Plan a surprise party
You don't necessarily have to do this for his birthday. An unexpected party can excite her. Surprises are more fun than planned activities, but only if planned properly. Invite people you love, buy food and drinks, give everyone balloons and streamers: they will throw them when your girlfriend arrives, among other things this will allow you to instantly "decorate" the house.
- To make sure the surprise goes through, ask her to do you a favor, which is to have dinner at your house, with you and your co-workers. Explain that they want to meet her and that you will know how to be forgiven later. That way, he'll be on time. When she realizes that this boring obligation is a nice, elaborate gift, she'll be delighted.
- Make sure you throw a party that suits her tastes. Ask her friends to bring music or games that she likes.
- Ask guests to dress in a style they like, or in honor of her favorite book or show. After you surprise her, give her a costume or accessory to wear. She will feel like a real queen.
- If you're not sure how to orient yourself, ask her best friend to give you some advice about the costume or style.
Step 3. Plan the perfect day
You don't have to surprise her. If your girlfriend has been busy with work, stressed or sad, promise to offer her a day where she won't have to lift a finger. Plan it in detail, from morning to night. Make sure that some activities are improvised, others organized, and that there is enough time to relax and have fun.
