drive in theater

Been with for awhile. We usually just stay at home (mine or his). I'm a homebody and don't mind but I thought it would be fun to get out once in awhile. Also it's starting to get cold here. Thanks

I hope to god there are not xmas decorations up yet!!!

hee! i was sort of thinking down the line--just brainstorming. the girls who suggested picking out pumpkins are obviously more seasonally appropriate than me!

i make my BF do this all the time !! he gets so bored but i could do that for hours. i'm a christmas junkie.

how about a museum or play? i guess it depends on where you live.

we have "fun day" which doesn't happen very often since we both work so much.. but fun day usually involves, just goofing around and doing a combination of the following: costco, dog park, best buy, mall, lunch out, beach walk, looking at open houses, and then usully a movie.

we fun day.

I am a homebody too. I am finding that almost anything my SO and I do together sort of feels like a date.

If we go somewhere it is usually dinner with a group of friends or something similar, so when we do something alone(go to a movie, go for a drive, etc,)it is like a date!! Yeah, I am easily amused. And a cheap date, too.

We are going bowling this weekend with a group. I would like to go to the Farmer's Market on the weekend, we usually do that alone.

I guess I am not that creative with dates. Isn't kinda nice with a long term SO that not everything you do together has to be an acutual event??
