Special Things to Do With the Guy in Your Life

Grow closer with the help of special dates.

Prevent boredom in your relationship by employing a few creative dates. If you go out of your way to make the time you spend together special, your dates grow more meaningful for both of you.

Mix Up Your Everyday Adventures

If you're looking for a break in your dating routine, search your town for activities you haven't done yet. Things such as ice skating, visiting a local landmark or museum and picnicking in the sun can increase your sense of togetherness. Card games, home-cooked meals and a board game can add a special element to a night in. Even going to a fireworks show can inspire a sense of awe. Alternatively, set up your own display in your back yard if the laws in your state permit it. If nothing strikes your fancy, take your normal dates up a notch by turning up in formal attire. Any date can feel more significant than the rest by seeing your companion in formal wear.

Escape to Nature

Because there are so many distractions when living in the city, taking a step back from fast-paced life and absconding into the country can help you get to know your guy even better. Go on a hike, watch the stars from your car's rooftop or go for a picnic in the woods. You could even rent a small boat and take a paddle around a nearby lake. In order to make these dates successful, ensure that you communicate with one another so you can go home more connected than when you left.

Attend a Theater or Comedy Club

Tickets to a community theater or a well-hidden comedy bar are often less expensive than those for well-known troupes. Attending such a performance gives you the opportunity to laugh together, which is priceless. This is especially effective if the two of you have kindred senses of humor.

Foreign Excursion

Though taking an overseas holiday requires a hefty amount of saving, it's a great option for serious couples looking to get away for a while. Not only will you learn how to solve problems in a strange setting, you get to see a new world together. You can either bond beforehand by planning out your itinerary or allow spontaneity to guide you as you explore.
