Okay, I will refrain from mentioning my awesome boyfriend for awhile after this post.
But I have to say, he has introduced me to so many fun activities! Every weekend it seems like we’re doing something different. Since I’ve been here in May we have done all of the following:
- geocaching
- rock climbing at an indoor rock climbing gym
- back packing
- wakeboarding
- boating
- taken a trip to the San Juan Islands
- hiking
- mountain biking
- ballroom dancing
- taken an Argentine Tango dance class
- danced at a bar with live funk music
- gone to a comedy club
- gone to church
- cooking
- grilling outdoors
- tried new restaurants
- checked out the drums and guitars at a music store
- tried on costumes at a party store
- made breakfast together
- played the Wii
- played pickleball
- gone to a French bakery
- gone to the library together
- gotten boba tea
- shared a bowl of Pho
- driven stick shift
- gone to a dog park
- played street hockey
- ice skating
- played pool
- played ping pong
- played card games
- kayaking
- taken a weight lifting class
- ridden dirt bikes
- gone berry picking
- played basketball
- tried raquetball
- karaoked at his brother’s house
- gone running
- done henna tattoos on each other
- made burgers
- walked on the beach
- watched fireworks
- gone grocery shopping
- gone to garage sales
- gone rollerblading
- gone to another island by ferry
- tossed around a football
I think the best thing is when two people get together and share their varied interests so that both people are exposed to new things! Remember gentlemen, girls just wanna have fun!

What I really like about this list is things like “grocery shopping” and “going to the dog park” or “going to church” and “making breakfast together” which show that romance is in the moment. Even an errand can be thought of as a date if it’s approached it the right way.
I would love to find the man that plans all these fun activities, has the desire to do the activities I plan and treats even the everyday activities like a date.
Congrats on your wonderful boyfriend! He’s a keeper–and so cute too

[...] The point is, get out of the house and do something active. Even if it is just strolling downtown and checking out the shops or taking your dog to a dog wash place where you wash your dog yourself. Or learn a new sport together. Tennis. Golf. Nate and I want to learn how to fence! For more date ideas, check out this post. [...]
