How do you spend time with your boyfriend?

[koseku]

connection, affinity, etc.

aha ok now i see, i thought it was something related to "kin" lol

yea growing in a conservative area sucks but its no so bad here, i mean at least nobody cares about others' lifestyles here so...

He is more of an introvert so if we go out it is to a restaurant with just a few friends or on our own. He does not like bars, nightclubs, loud concerts, etc. Often we are just at friends' homes or with our families. This summer he has joined me for walks which is a nice addition to our time together. Also we do iike to travel and will hit museums or other things of interest while we're away.

How does it feel to visit your boyfriend's family? I always dreamed of being a big family, and go to barbecu

It's good. We are all very close. Before he had kids I would go out with my BF's brother and his friends because I'm more social than my BF is. Now since he has kids my BF's brother is always trying to get us to come to his house since can't go out and party

I was also good friends with my BF's dad who unfortunately died a few years ago.

In my case right now it would be how would I spend time with my boyfriend if I had one...perhaps that will change in time ;-)

I'd say half and half, going out to restaurants are nice but expensive over time. I also am perfectly fine to stay in and watch some tv. I also would like someone to get me to try new things, I've in the past have been quite the introvert and while I know I can't change over night I think little by littler I can learn to have more fun in life.

With my last two relationships, we mainly stayed in their dorms (yes, they were both college students). I personally wanted to go out and do different things, but they both said that it took away from getting to know me more...which we all knows is code for "Let's get naked."

I love the thought of traveling and doing different things. But I also like the thought of just hanging out and cudding (sexual acts excluded).

Yep I'd say that's probably what they were after...but so can be cuddling, so you might have to be upfront with someone about keeping their clothes on and their hands to themselves.

I'll have to agree though I think especially early on it is definite best to keep cuddling as cuddling and very easy for things to escalate to where you didn't want to be.

It sounds pretty good, nice to know that there are people like this. I'm jealous

We like if possible i.e. when money/weather permits to get out of the house, go on walks in country parks etc, go to tourist attractions, go for meals or to the movies. We also luv just spending time at home when we together, snuggled up on the couch watching TV and movies, cooking for each other or even just chilling in the same room doing our thing, like just now, he on his facebook and I'm just browsing here. We tend to have a few days apart each week so we can do our own thing etc but thats cause at the moment we dont live together, but that will hopefully change next year sometime.

If you're creative there is a lot you can do for free or cheap. Art, concerts (not by top 40 stars but local musicians), etc. Bring a picnic vs. eating in a restaurant.
