Default Things to do at home...

So here's the deal. I live with my girlfriend now, and have been for one whole month. Now that we're all settled in and the place is set up, we've bought pretty much anything we want for this condo. I find that without going shopping every evening or sitting back and watching a movie every night, we don't have any activities to do at home.

The relationship is good and hasn't changed for the worse or anything like that, I just wish we had some things we could do together after work, especially with the cold weather coming which will make going for walks along the river and through the park less appealing.

When I was single I would just go and meet up with friends for dinner, drinks, etc or have people over for, well, usually drinks. That's not really my speed anymore as it was killing me healthwise.

I actually considered buying puzzles the other day. Yeah, it's bad. My girlfriend isn't a big boardgamer, so I'm wondering what do people do to keep busy and engaged in something together.

Any thoughts?

Yeah yeah, we got a nice big king size bed and crazy expensive sheets and remote control lights that can dim and whatever Things be fine in the bedroom.

I knew that would come up


What ellllllse besides the sexy time keeps people busy at home? Not having a private garage means I'm not really able to build furniture, any woodworking stuff, etc.

I'm most interested in finding stuff we can do together that doesn't involve shopping for things we don't really need.

Does it have to be at home? You can still get out, without going to a restaurant or bar. Go to the gym, play some sports, take evening classes at your local community college (photography, cooking, etc), do wine tastings, visit local attractions like museums, art galleries, etc.

Oh, and don't think that just because you live together means that you have to spend every evening together and entertain each other all the time. You should still have your own individual stuff to do, too.

Well yeah, what hobbies is what I was looking for


There's no way that all you other yeb nerds who are in relationships or marriages play on S2ki, go to work, and bang. That's it, nothing else with you significant other except for eating and sexing. You're alllll talk
